How I ended up here.
I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. Since then, I have documented everything. Thru these pictures, I can go back and revisit places and moments that my eyes witnessed - some wonderful, some simple - but most I wouldn't remember otherwise. I am so happy to be able to share this living time capsule with my loved ones as well.
Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I have seen how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed...
Which is why it's important to face this truth.
Once today is over, it's gone.
That's why I'm a firm believer of living in the moment. A photo can't help us relive a feeling, if we don't create the memory first.
For example, we can look at a photo of mom and remember how mom's smile made us feel. But only if we spent time with mom first. We can look at a photo of grandma, and remember how Sunday dinners at her home were the best! But only if we were at grandma's house on Sundays.
So be there. Be present. It's safe to put your phone away. I will provide more than photos - I will provide a collection of remembrances that will get you thru life to come. And reminders of how incredible your life is right now.
