welcome to my blog!

My family & friends know that no matter where I go, I always carry a camera.

I believe that there is a story to capture in every moment...whether it is in an expression, an intimate look between a couple, a shared laugh among friends or a twinkle in the eye. Some of the most memorable photographs are the ones that are most natural, which leads to my photojournalistic approach when it comes to weddings & sessions. I love watching the day unfold. Anais Nin once said, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection." If only she knew that photography would allow for the same.

I am also greatly influenced by fashion photography, so a lot of this inspiration shows in my work. My background in arts & design also contributes in large part to my style and aesthetics.

My aim is to give clients a sense of who they are & what makes their relationships extraordinary, all while having a fun time doing it! Perhaps they will see me through the photographs as well: a bit of spunk, boldness, chic + fun! At the very least, clients will be able to laugh at my awesome jokes! =)

Life moves at an incredibly fast pace, so I feel incredibly lucky to be able to freeze little moments in time. I feel very blessed to do what I love & love what I do, and I hope my passion and skills for photography and design show in my work!

I would love to hear from you! Please send me an email or use the form through the contact page to tell me more about yourself & what you are seeking. I look forward to connecting with you!

lynda + kevin | wedding | regent west | oak canyon nature center

posted in weddings

i’ve known kevin since he was 8 years old. i remember meeting him for the first time…his dad was living with my family and kevin had just moved to the us. i asked him, “how old are you?” and his reply was “I’m fine.” haha. I still tease him today about how he was such a fob back in the day but nowadays he no longer loves the power rangers and is a police officer. lynda definitely complements him and they make the sweetest couple.

lynda & kevin had a traditional vietnamese tea ceremony in the morning, headed out to oak canyon nature center for pictures then had a super fun reception at regent west. the wedding party’s grand entrance was awesome & straight out of glee’s “furt” episode! [one of my favorite shows]!

here are some of my faves from lynda & kevin’s day…congrats again! =)
