My first love of photography came early — I remember having those point and shoot film cameras as a child, and enjoying taking photos of family members. I was always so excited to get rolls of film developed and laughing at goofy images, and marveling at the perfectly captured moments.

Fast forward to a decade later, and I decided to pursue a communications arts degree in 2005 at a university in my hometown, Manila, Philippines. Film photography was one of my electives, and I remember being utterly challenged and in awe of the magic of “drawing with light.”

My joy in visual storytelling continued when I worked in The Philippine Tatler, where I worked on their coffee table books. I worked closely with photographers, helping style interior decoration. I also worked in brand marketing for Havaianas, a global fashion brand in 2012, sharpening my skills in creative copy and design.

Outside of my love story with photography, I also wear many hats. I'm a wife to my number 1, who has encouraged me to pursue my artistic passions, mom to a cheerful and active kindergartener (go Cubbies!) and a full-time communications strategist at a non-profit organization in downtown Washington, D.C.

As a mom, I know how busy life can get. We juggle so many things on a daily basis — and we are usual the chief memory makers in our families. We hold the iPhones up during happy birthday songs, during our baby’s first steps, and all the messy and chaotic moments in between.

That’s where I come in. I can make sure you’re in the photos and I get to work with you to craft how you’d like to set up your photo session. Do you want it in your home? At a studio? Or we can also choose a location that can be a fitting backdrop to the story you want to tell.
