I started using photography as a young child as a simplified and exact way to communicate with my mother who is a deaf, Chinese refugee and immigrant with limited ASL and English language comprehension. I continues to use it as a tool to tell universal and personal stories across the spectrum of life experiences including birth and death. My clients range widely from individual and family commissions that last years documenting their lives to small businesses and fortune 500 companies worldwide humanizing brands and missions. In 2019 I completed training to become a birth, postpartum and death doula and have had the honor of attending hundreds of births and sitting bedside with the dying in their homes, hospice and hospital as a documentarian since 2010. With each client I call on my unique life experiences and perspectives with the goal of creating an emotionally safe experience that allows the individual and/or family to fully experience whatever life transition they are going through. I am a graduate of Pratt Institute and the Victorian College of Arts in Melbourne, Australia and my photography has been published & exhibited nationwide and internationally. I’m a public speaker who talks candidly about her unique childhood and life experiences, mental health and a lifetime of witnessing how others live through my work as a photojournalist. I am currently writing my first book, a memoir.

I live in Winooski, VT with my husband, two sons and many animals. I serve doula clients throughout Chittenden county and virtually and am available to travel worldwide for photography projects.
