Raised by immigrant parents in Toronto, I’ve never felt like I fully belonged in one place. The disconnection from my family abroad and the yearning for deeper connections to my identity and the idea of home have played pivotal roles in shaping my curiosity about people and their stories.
I’ve been a wedding photographer based in Toronto for over twelve years. Photography feels more like a calling than a job. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a fulfilling purpose in life and to be able to share it and connect with others.
Outside of being a wedding photographer, I’m deeply interested in the ongoing practice of embodiment and what it means for people to cultivate a fuller, more connected relationship with themselves. This has taken two major forms:
I’m currently training to become a Gestalt psychotherapist. My Gestalt schooling invites me to pay close attention to nuance - body language, nervous system cues, unspoken dynamics - which informs the way I photograph. It helps me create spaces where people feel seen, safe and free, so the images we make together feel honest and alive.
I also have the huge honour of facilitating group nude embodiment workshops for women in North and Central America where we explore coming home to our bodies through the transformative power of being photographed. My intention is to create containers where nudity becomes language rather than spectacle. To be photographed is to say: I exist, I matter and I can take up space.
