Keepsakes of Your Story
I'm a family & lifestyle photographer based in Seattle, drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed - the way hands find each other without thinking, the crinkle of a nose mid-laugh, the soft rhythm of everyday life unfolding just as it is.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a neonatal nurse practitioner. I’ve witnessed first breaths & held space for last ones too. Both teaching me how precious time really is. That’s what I bring into every session: a deep reverence for your now. I want to give you more than just beautiful images. I want to give you photographs that feel like you. Honest. Tender. Unfiltered. Whether it’s the soft mess of real life or the way love lives in silent glances.
No matter who you are, how your family looks, or where your story begins, you are welcome here. I’m here to see you. To honor your story. To capture it with care, intention, & heart.
“The session felt like spending time with a friend, and the photos are everything I didn’t know I was hoping for.”

Ryan’s love steadied me - first through nursing, now through this. He’s the quiet reason I believe in following what stirs the soul. That same tenderness lives in my work. Whoever you are, however you love, I’ll see you with care. Everyone is welcome here. Your story matters. All of it.

Life with them is joy in its authentic form - soft mornings, muddy paws, and the kind of devotion that asks for nothing and gives everything. That’s the spirit I bring into every session - gentle, patient, and present. I’m not here to perfect your story, only to witness it as it is. Honest. Beautiful. Yours.
In the NICU, I stand beside families in both their most hopeful and most heartbreaking moments. It’s taught me the weight of presence, the depth of love, and the beauty of holding space for it all.
My love for photography began with old photo albums my mom brought from Vietnam - fragile pages filled with faces, places, & stories that shaped us. Even then, I knew there was something sacred in preserving a moment.
I make photographs of the lives
we build between them.
The kind that builds slowly - through quiet mornings, tired hands, long goodbyes, and the sound of laughter echoing down the hall. It is the thread through every chapter: when a child is born, when the house grows quiet, when the heart breaks and mends again. These are the moments I hold still - not to perfect them, but to honor them. My goal isn’t just to take photos but to preserve emotions, to hold onto what it felt like in that exact moment.
Because years from now, it won’t be about how perfect the photo was; it’ll be about how perfectly it brings you back.
