Samira, the visionary creator of Yummynotes. The site embarked on her journey in November 2018 with the realization that conventional employment didn't align with her happiness and creative aspirations. Fueled by her passion for food photography, she boldly stepped into the captivating realm of culinary artistry. Transitioning from her full-time job was no small feat; it brimming with uncertainty and self-reflection. Armed with a Canon DSLR camera she had acquired earlier, Samira had a head start and didn't require additional investment.
As a hobby, Samira indulged in food blogging and photography biweekly, crafting recipes, capturing images, and sharing them on Pinterest. The virality of some pins and the growing traffic on her site were early indicators of her potential. As the calendar turned to the early 2020s, and the world experienced lockdowns, Samira committed herself to Yummynotes, producing content at home. She decided to level up her photography equipment, aiming for professional growth.
Samira's passion for food photography runs deep; it's her therapy, a sanctuary where the world outside fades into insignificance while she bakes cakes or cooks dishes for the lens. Beyond the lens, this creative journey has nurtured her self-confidence as well as her friendships. Samira's commitment to continuous learning is evident, with a trail of YouTube tutorials and formal courses like Lightroom photo editing and website SEO enhancing her skills. Drawing inspiration from experienced professionals, she remains dedicated to her personal growth, ever eager to experiment and learn.
