ABOUT

I discovered my passion for photography in a field down the street from the house I grew up in. I was raised in Connecticut by two brilliant parents, who adopted me from Vietnam. After the loss of mother from brain cancer, I decided to start a career in photography. I was 15 years old.


I flew out to Los Angeles frequently because I learned how to network using Tumblr and Instagram. This was around 2012-2013 so social media was still becoming a more prominent tool for making connections. I always knew I had the ability to see people in a way others could not. I found profound joy in showing people how I saw them. 


I went to Parsons School of Design, but unfortunately, became disenchanted by New York and the work I was doing. I felt like everyone wanted to be perceived a certain way - in a way they had dreamt up. I don't people to find affirmation from strangers online - I don't like what social media has become to be honest. So I took a break and moved to Montana without knowing anyone.


This completely changed my life and I met people from all walks of life. Some of my closest friends were ranchers, true cowboys, rodeo stars, and down to earth people that weren't interested in telling the world they were somebody else. In 2019, I graduated from Montana State University with my bachelors. 


In 2021, I decided to go into the United States military because I wanted to work with like-minded people who were solution-oriented. I met the most fabulous young men and women there with the type of curiosity and love for life that I had. I never imagined I would become a U.S. sailor but I wanted to serve my country. In 2024, I graduated with my master's of education from Boston College.


Now, I'm 30. I spent my 20's seeking new perspectives because I believe that diversity of thought is paramount. I have met people from every inch of life - from mission trips I went on as a kid with my parents to photographing models in England and Italy. 


I have always made sure that the people I work with walk away feeling like a part of them they haven't seen or heard from in a while, is recognized. I love everything about what I do and I hope you enjoy my work.
