According to her brother, Ayman Shaheen, Areej studied accounting but loved photography and began to take classes to specialize in covering weddings and happy gatherings.“But during the war the parties stopped and based on the fact that photography is also a message, she began documenting the crimes of the Israeli occupation in central Gaza through video and photography,".
Gaza Martyr published her sister testimony on X: “A passionate wedding photographer, she was about to deliver a groom’s photos at the last minute when she was targeted, and she was also supposed to photograph a wedding in Khan Younis the next day, but fate had decided otherwise.
