Tasweer|تصویر

Hey guys, Welcome to my life! For all that don't know tasweer is not my name, but it is the name of my photography company. The meaning of tasweer is derived from the Pakistani language, Urdu, and it means portrait/ photograph. It may seem a little odd for me to use a different language to name my business but to me, it’s the opposite. Growing up as a Pakistani immigrant in America, I always felt drawn to my roots. From the extravagant jewelry, the detailed dresses, and the beautiful country, I was truly inspired. This inspiration transcended into my photography. So what better way to honor my culture than by naming my photography business. I hope you guys can witness this sense of detail and culture in your perfect photos :)

MY Photography Journey

Hi, my name is Nehah Raza I graduated magna cum laude and received a bachelor's in biology with 2 minors in health sciences and medical humanities and a master's in biomedical sciences. I work in clinical research to help start clinical trials. This is who I am in my professional life, but this is not the person I am.

I’m a girl that loves to capture special moments like that smile that comes with the first look on a wedding day or the interaction with a mother and daughter saying goodbye to one another. There’s something so special with these moments that you want to hold on to that feeling forever. Now the problem was, how do you hold on to the feeling? To me, the answer has always been photography.

No matter which event I would go to, or the place that I would travel to, I would always have to have a camera on me so I could catch those moments that I could always cherish. The saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is no understatement. I bring this sentiment to every event because of how truthful it is. Some may say I have a decent career, but what I do within photography is so much more than a career. It’s a way for me to give back to others that also understand the motto of a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s a way to hold on to the special moments so that we can pass them on to our future generations.

    Home Improvement

    This may be out of the ordinary, but there’s a bob the builder in me that is inclined to grab some tools and fix up my home! My dad is an engineer and I definitely followed in his footsteps. We come together to do as many DIY projects that we come across and try our best to stay away from calling a handyman.

  • Travel

    This may seem cliche as traveling is such a high trend in this day and age, however, being of an artistic personality type seeing other cultures and landscapes is inspiring to me. It drives me while also inspiring the creativity inside me. It’s not only powerful but humbling to see how beautiful the world is. This is why I try to travel whenever an opportunity arises.
