I was born and raised on the island of Guam, surrounded by an infinite ocean. I grew up with a family of photographers often in front of their cameras for their many photo assignments. I spent my days cruising around the island with friends, stopping at the local markets to pick up pickled papaya or kelaguen. A daily staple for me at the time.
I moved to California in my early 20s and Carlsbad has been my home for almost 20 years. My youngest has grown up learning to ride her scooter and bike along the Carlsbad Seawall. Evenings were spent with a Lola’s bean and cheese burrito in hand while we chat and watch the sunset.
As my kids were getting older, photography became part of our daily life. I went to New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) specializing in photojournalism. I took those skills along with the countless photography courses and followed my heart to turn this into a business. I’ve been photographing families for over 15 years.
