Photography became my
first language.
As a child, I used a camera to communicate with my mother, a deaf Chinese refugee and immigrant with limited access to both ASL and English. That experience shaped the way I see the world and continues to inform my work today.
I document the full spectrum of the human experience - from birth to death - creating images that honor life's most meaningful transitions. My clients include individuals and families, as well as small businesses and Fortune 500 companies seeking authentic, human-centered storytelling.
A trained full spectrum reproductive health & justice and death doula since 2019, I have attended hundreds of births and documented end-of-life journeys in homes, hospitals, and hospice settings since 2010. Every session is approached with the intention of creating an emotionally safe space where people feel seen, supported, and free to be fully present.
I am a graduate of Pratt Institute and the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. My work has been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. I also speak publicly about my upbringing, mental health, and the lessons I've learned through a lifetime of witnessing others' stories. I am currently writing my first book, a memoir.
I live in a multigenerational community in Winooski, Vermont with my husband, two sons and mother. I work with doula clients throughout Chittenden County and virtually, and am available for photography commissions worldwide.
