Hey there! I'm Thaelie. I don't like talking about myself much, but I guess it's a good place to start our conversation. *sigh* So yeah... I was born into a family of artists. My mom is an amazing painter, and my dad is a skilled sculptor. I think that's where I get my love for all things artistic from.

Growing up in a creative household was amazing. We always had paint smudges on our clothes, and music playing in the background. It was like one big art project all the time. But as much as I loved it, being an artist wasn't easy. People would often assume that just because my parents were artists, I would be too. And let me tell you, there's a lot of pressure when your whole family expects you to live up to their expectations.

I used to get really frustrated with myself for not being able to draw or paint like them. But then one day, I stumbled upon photography. It was love at first sight... or rather, first shot. *laughs* I started taking pictures of everything around me - the way light falls on a subject's skin, the texture of fabrics, the play of shadows... it all just clicked for me.

Nowadays, I'm trying to make a name for myself as a photographer. It's tough, but I love the challenge of capturing beauty in everyday things. What about you? Do you have any experience with photography or art?
