I love being involved in my local community and specifically with the Filipino community in Kansas City. My mother is from the Philippines and has always instilled in us never to forget “where we came from.” So even though my sisters and I were born here in the United States, we hold true to a […]

In December of 2009 I noticed I had developed excessive bruising on my body and if I got a cut, it would take a long time to stop bleeding. It was the week before Christmas and we were planning a trip to North Dakota to visit Cody’s family for the holidays. I was photographing my […]
This summer has been an absolute joy, exploring my career in photography and making some of really great friends along the way. I met up with my fellow photog friends Sara Tafoya, Kevin Keith, Ashley Keith, Leslie O’Hara, Layne Haley, and Christina Blincoe for Sara’s birthday party and fun-in-the-sun shoot. As you will see, the […]
Okay so I have TWO other jobs on top of photography… I do graphic and web design full-time at a biomedical testing laboratory in Lenexa, Kansas. We specialize in laboratory testing for people with chronic conditions (such as autism, fibromyalgia, mental health, etc.). I mainly design brochures and materials for conferences that we sponsor or […]
I just got a MiniTT1 and a FlexTT5 PocketWizard set from B&H, one of the best wireless triggering systems for off-camera flash. The MiniTT1 (transmitter) is mounted right on the hot-shoe of my Canon 5D Mark II Camera and the FlexTT5 (receiver) is fixated right between a tripod (or you can use a light stand) […]
I woke up early this morning with the intent to visit the Farmer’s Market in Downtown Overland Park with my Gramma. Unbeknownst to us, we found out that it is only open on Saturdays until June (when it will then also be open on Wednesday mornings), so we decided to spend our morning at a […]
This weekend my dad and step mom, Cynda, took Cody and I to Branson, Missouri for a mini vacation. I’ve never felt like I’ve accomplished so much in only two days. We stayed at Still Waters Lakefront Resort off of Indian Point on Table Rock Lake. The first night we watched an outdoor play called […]
Daddy’s Girl. That’s me. Me and my daddy have always been really close. I’m the oldest of my sisters so I took on the role of mentoring (and sometimes torturing lol) my little sisters. They looked up to me like I looked up to my daddy. I remember going on vacations every year, especially to […]
About a year and a half ago, Cody and I adopted this sweet little ball of white fur from the Heart of America Humane Society. The story of how he got his name was: we were driving home right after picking him up from the adoption center and we were trying to come up with […]
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day she asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow. But how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you.” “But tell me, […]
It was your first day of school. I remember mine. For some reason, I ALWAYS had a runny nose and watery eyes on the first day of school growing up. Always. Never the day before. Never the day after, just the first day of school. I remember specifically bringing two boxes of Kleenex the every […]
