I'm so glad you're here!

Born in an island blessed with plentiful of beaches and waterfalls, I grew up in love with nature and the water. My work is the end product of this. The love-child of chasing light and loving life. Think - candid shots, natural light, real smile and comfortable poses. If that is sounding like something you both want to experience together then I am the third wheel you need.

my style


Candid, warm, dreamy..

Just a few words I would use to describe my work.

I was born in the Philippines to a Filipino dad and a Chinese-Spanish mom. My heritage brought me confusion as a child growing up in Australia but I found comfort through art. I was able to express my emotions through the use of photography.

As a beach and nature lover, I am a fan of the natural light. Clean, warm tones and authenticity are my absolute vibe so if you are wanting to remember your day for the bright memory that it is, I'm your gal!

I want to be there with you from planning to your special day. Together, let's create images that will help you remember and cherish your day. My hope is that when you see your album, you will get all the feels from all the frozen, unbelievably beautiful memories


connections


Outside of work, I'm a creative of all sorts with a huge passion for getting people together.

I organise events, exhibits, paint and sip nights, pottery and sip nights, just sip and sip nights... everything! I also love cooking for people and hosting potluck events. I'm a believer that the bigger we intertwine with other people's lives, the bigger our impact is in this world and the bigger our learning.

I like to share this part of me because it is a big factor in my work - my love for connections and making sense of this little round ball we live in. I always aim to capture those little moments in between - couples interacting when no one else is looking, how a mother kisses her son's cheek, the groom's first glimpse of the bride.

All these little intricate moments of our daily lives that often goes unnoticed - these are the building blocks of my work.

Here's a little glimpse into my life - exhibits I've hosted, people I love, things that bring me joy
