About Me
Real people are my favorite.
It's why I appointed myself the family documentarian early on, carefully recording life unfolding, and learning along the way how much I love visual storytelling. I picked up my first professional camera when my child was born, knowing those early years were dawning and full of change — and I never looked back. I can't imagine doing anything else.
I'm a maximalist in every sense: all-in on a project or power napping, rarely anything in between. A little weird and impressively clumsy, with absolutely zero shame dancing in public. I live in Alameda (aka the Midwest of the Bay Area) with my husband, my teen, and a menagerie of animals. Fair warning: I bring my outdated 90s dance moves to every session.
I am a proud daughter of immigrant parents, and that shapes everything about how I show up in the world and in my work.
I've also become a big softie in my middle-aged years and have been known to cry at the drop of a hat. Kleenex is a standing item on my packing list for newborn sessions.
I'm awkward at small talk and large groups are where I go quiet — which is exactly why you'll never find me working weddings or large events, and why you will find me completely at home in yours. I work best in the intimate, the real, and the messy.
All of my work is personal to me. I invest in people and pour my whole heart into all of it. Walking away with friendships after a session is always a major bonus — and it's the reason I love my job as much as I do.
