My shooting style is rooted in my early passion for street photography & social documentary photography while living and working in East Asia, and Central America. I’m an adventurous and creative spirit by nature, and have travelled extensively within 35 countries and counting, finding great joy in exploring different cultures and connecting with locals.

Before transitioning to professional photography, I was dedicated to a career in academics that eventually led me to create and lead digital photography elective classes at the secondary level in an international school in Guatemala City. Since 2016, my fascination with the human experience as a narrative has continued to drive my approach toward documenting weddings, and I find great satisfaction in creating photojournalistic images that capture the moments that feel most personal to my subjects, often understated, and evoke nostalgia. It’s truly rewarding.  

I’ve been in a deep love affair with photography and all areas of the fine arts, since I was about 4 or 5 years old. As a child, I would spend hours staring down the B&W film photos in my parents’ wedding album from the 60’s era, thoroughly captivated. I was fascinated by their facial expressions and body language in the candid moments, as well as the portraits, taking notice of what they were all wearing, distinctive to the era, and how people shared the space in a single frame. It was all a wonder.

What stands out to me, in hindsight, was that from an early age, I was drawn to the art of storytelling through photos, and how reportage plays out in the details, which still holds true today when I’m documenting a wedding, an engagement, an event, and just about anything or anyone I photograph. The honour never gets old… ♡
