My love for photography began in 2013 when I borrowed a friend’s DSLR and started devouring online courses to learn how to shoot and edit photos. I shot events, headshots, weddings, portraits, landscapes, and finally… animals! It turns out I love to photograph dogs and people the most.

For my formal education, I graduated from UBC with an Arts degree in Political Science and Psychology. Long story short, I originally thought I wanted to be a journalist, and then later, a therapist. I became neither, but I was happy enough photographing my peers (see Humans of UBC Psych), connecting, and telling stories the way I knew how: with heart and vulnerability. Later on, once I got my puppy Duke, I decided to start telling stories again, this time focusing on people and their dogs (see Dogs Will Teach You Love).

I enjoy the post-production stage (editing/retouching) just as much as the initial photography. I also love to help other business owners create content and market themselves. So I consider myself an Artist (or “digital content creator” in today’s terms) and a Marketing Consultant second. Other artistic pursuits I love besides photography include writing, stand-up comedy, card-making/scrapbooking, video-editing, make-up, and digital painting/illustration… in other words, things that allow me to play with arrangement, timing, sequence and colour.

When I’m not working at my desk/computer or behind a camera, you can usually find me on a tennis court, out at a dog park, sipping a cup of coffee, or otherwise being a good Auntie (I am blessed with 7 nieces and nephews).
