A LITTLE bit about me,
what inspires me,
and what i think will make us a great fit

I grew up quiet, an observer who loved making memories and holding onto them. I’ve always cherished the little things that remind us of connection: letters, sketches, notes, and mementos that preserve memory and emotion. It’s this perspective that allows me to capture the small, intimate details, creating a gallery that visually tells the story of your day.
My artistry is shaped by the people, places, and experiences that have left a mark on me: a decade in the Philippines that taught me the meaning of home, a visit to my home country that reconnected me to lost pieces of myself, kind souls whose lives inspire how I see the world, and the dogs who showed me that connection doesn’t always need words. All of this informs the way I photograph: noticing what matters, honoring real moments, and translating them into images that truly reflect your story.

I was OBSESSED with 101 Dalmatians. I once asked my dad why they didn't name me "Jewel," which is the name of one of the puppies in the movie
I've learned that a photo is powerful because of how it feels, and it doesn't matter if it’s candid, creative, or a blend of both.
EMOTION > STYLE. ALWAYS.
When I photograph you, I’m not just documenting what happened. I’m preserving the way your laughter sounded, the way your people held you close, the warmth, the nostalgia, the story of who you are together. That way, when you look at your photos, you feel like a part of the moments all over again. All of that, with a blend of artistic touch.
Because if we’re not having fun making art, why do it at all?
So philosophy is simple: See people first. Honor the connection. Embrace the imperfect. Craft images that feel like memory the moment we see them. And lastly, don't be afraid to make art.

She sees scenes and frames in a way nobody else does, and seeing her work become her product is inspiring.

Working with Julia was one of the best choices I made as a bride.
