Hello and welcome to my photography website! I'm from Manila, Philippines but Seattle, WA has been my beloved home for over 40 years. Having 6 siblings, I've always enjoyed taking pictures of my family since I owned my first camera in my late 20's. When my youngest sister had her first child, I started creating photo books for her, as well as for other children in our family. It was then that I realized how much I loved capturing special moments and milestones in their lives.
My interest in photography flourished when I got married and traveled with my husband. He is also an avid photographer, and I was always delighted to document our trips, view our photos later, and relive the joy that we experienced.
Besides traveling, I enjoy knitting and crocheting, as well as creating my own greeting cards and costume jewelry. I always cherish hand-made gifts that I receive from others, in the same way that it pleases me to give my own creations to the special people around me.
Landscapes/cityscapes and gardens are some of my favorite subjects to capture on camera! We are truly blessed to have so much beauty around us, and I find it rewarding to share the special moments in my life for others to enjoy as well. I hope you find an image that captivates you and that you would be proud to either grace a room in your home or office, or give to a loved one as a gift!
We have a 100% print guarantee on the products I offer here! What does that mean? If you're ever unhappy with your prints or gifts, SmugMug will reprint or refund your order, whichever you prefer. Simply send us an email within 30 days of receiving your order and we'll help you out.
Thanks so much!
