Photographer. Neurodivergent. Twenty-five year partner to a beautiful soul. Parent to a kiddo almost as tall as me. Dog dad of two. I live for Karissa’s laughter and Isaac’s hugs; am enthralled by the variety of human expression; desperately miss living in Hong Kong; and could easily make a habit of eating more chocolate cake than is healthy for me.

So why family photography? I was once an ESL teacher. Both in Seoul and in Hong Kong. Before that, an early childhood educator. And most recently a homeschool teacher. I’m done teaching my kiddo now. And at fifty, I understand in ways that I previously hadn’t that the years are far too few, time spent with loved ones is far too short, and memories fade with age. For me, a photograph returns me to a time and place with a loved one in ways that no other medium can. It grounds me. Sitting with a family photograph is meditative. It’s restorative. Being able to offer this to others feels like a beautiful act of service.
