I became interested in photography in 2009 when I got my first DSLR. One day while we were living in Taiwan, Leif and I went on a date and he showed me how to take light trail photos in JiuFen, one of his favorite places. I fell become impressed by the magic of the camera. I began my photography career in 2014 capturing weddings and portraits.  My first newborn photos was with my first son in February 2015, and now I have a small studio at my house for newborn and family photos. I’ve grown so much from there since then. Throurghout my photography journey, Leif has been both physically and mentally supportive, not only encouraeing with my business but also helping with techniques, I couldn’t have started this dream job without him. All of these experience have fueled my enthusiasm for photography. I love using lens to recording the moments of life.
Here are a few other things that I enjoy when I’m not shooting:

1. I’m most likely spending time with my husband Leif and my two sons—Rollie and Gus. Friday nights are our movie nights, my boys love their daddy’s homemade buttery and salty popcorns. We go camping with our 1985 VW Vanagon at the parks, ride bikes to the park and library and enjoy a scoop of ice cream. I love exploring the world with them.

2. I am passionate about yoga. I am a Yoga Alliance-certified yoga instructor. I practice yoga poses, breathing techniques, and meditation as a way of promoting physical and mental well-being.

3. I enjoy decorating and organizing. I love reading decorating magazines, and shopping at Hobby Lobby, Home Goods and even at Estate Sales, trying to find the perfect items for our home and photography. I often stand in the middle of somewhere at home, sipping a cup of coffee or wine and thinking about how to rearrange or add something to make the house feel inviting and cozy. I especially like the mix of texture, colors, and natural materials.

4. I love doing arts and crafts, both by myself and with my boys. I enjoy exploring my their creative minds, by watching their drawings and whimsical ideas,

5.I enjoy cooking at home and visiting excellent restaurants, food trucks and events. And yes, I alway take pictures of food!

6. I love traveling, I have been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Bali, Paris, London, and taken road trips all over United States. Of course, there are more places on my bucket list!

I love my family and I have learned to appreciate my life as it is right now, I captured the moments that we can look back on years from now and remember what life was like in that stage, and that’s what really matters!
