My passion runs deep when it comes to human connection, and the unique stories that come with them. It's amazing how photography allows me to capture something so intimate, so intangible, to essentially freeze emotions in time: tears, joy, anticipation, movement, stillness, love.
I want you to FEEL them all. Knowing that you’ll look at your photos years down the line and feel the same chills down your spine, the goosebumps down your arms, butterflies in your tummy—this fuels me and breathes purpose into my art.
Discovering new places, immersing in different cultures, AND eating to my heart’s content are a few of many things I can never get enough of.
Travel has been a huge influence on my art. I’m constantly blown away by all the thoughtful architecture and design in every new city, the diverse cultures with fresh perspectives, traditions, and music PLUS of course the jaw-dropping wonders of nature. Just the idea of being close to the mountains and ocean, soaking up the last rays of sun before twilight, makes my heart do a little happy dance.
I grew up in the Philippines and moved to Vancouver in 2015. I’m proud of my native roots, and I’m also happy to call Vancouver my home. It feels like such a dream to be living here: a beautiful playground where I get to endlessly discover new things each and every day.
Filipinos love to sing, dance and eat. While I love to sing at the top of my lungs, I can’t carry a tune :( But that’s okay, because I’m more confident in my ability to win an eating competition and bust out better dance moves!
My friends think I should have a food blog, because if I’m not daydreaming about my next shoot, my mind is constantly on food. I’m always on the hunt for new flavours and trying new restaurants, from low-key to fancy. (Though the Asian in me will always look for spice and rice!)
If you happen to share the same love for food, definitely let me know. Because I may or may not have a couple of spreadsheets of food recos I can share your way. ;)
Top 5 foods I can’t live without?
Pork and Chicken Adobo, Sichuan Mapo Tofu, Grilled Steak, Roasted Pig, Steamed White Rice (Yes, I’m an Asian Carnivore)

I’ve always viewed life as one big, beautiful adventure, where our journeys all look different, yet each one so special. That’s what makes them worth documenting. And that’s what I want to do for you. I’m all about being intentional in my craft. My style combines being a creative director (not only making you look your absolute best but really bring to the forefront your story and your personality and your unique connection) and capturing the organic moments that simply unfold themselves.
I want to understand and be immersed in who my subjects are. I want my photographs to have meaning and purpose to you.
I'd love to know more about you so we can make this friendship official! If you're ready for the next step...
