THE STORYTELLER BEHIND THE LENS
You'll often hear me say “thank you SO much for being here and hanging out on this crazy ride with me”. I am forever grateful to each and every one of you, as it's through your trust that I've had the privilege of being your chosen photographer for every significant life moment. Since I began, every year has brought personal and professional growth, and I recognize that none of it would be possible without the support of every single client.
Balancing two businesses has been a journey, taking me three, four years to find that equilibrium! If you don’t already follow along on social media, I not only work as a photographer but also serve as a Linker for LINK x LOU permanent jewelry. Similar to my photography work, my fulfillment stems from the incredible human interactions I have with each of you. Whether it's during a photo session or while listening to someone's life story as they sit in my chair for their first permanent jewelry piece, those connections fill my cup.

In my precious free time (which I've started scheduling to maintain work-life balance), you'll likely find me playing pickleball with my bestie Averie and some cutie retired folks, wearing my cowgirl hat while line dancing, or enjoying a country concert. I've also taken to exploring cooking books, trying new recipes, and honing my baking skills. Thrifting, estate sales, and repurposing items for my home bring me immense joy. If I had a second life, I'd relish being your personal thrifting shopper, or perhaps even a planner for special occasions and events. Hosting gatherings with themed elements fills me with delight, but above all, having my loved ones gathered in one space, fostering human connection, is what truly nourishes my heart and soul.

driven by love & getting creative
My approach is all about blending intentionality, romance, and an unwavering love for what I do. To not just capture moments, but document the deep emotions and connections shared between two souls that make up your love story. When it comes to getting creative and having a vision for your session, there are no limits—I love to help come up with new and exciting ideas that truly feel like you.

I was adopted from China at 13 months and am a first-generation student in the family! Little 10-year-old me would never believe I’d be doing my dream job!! My mom is the whole reason I'm where I am in life. Without her, I wouldn’t be able to dream big and live out my greatest passions.

I not only run my photography business but also am a welder girl ;) I operate my LINK x LOU permanent jewelry business, which allows me to meet sooo many incredible humans! It’s a permanent jewelry experience where our products are solid 14k gold, ensuring they'll never tarnish on you! Additionally, in 2024, I started a Lincoln Girls Club! It’s a social club primarily for women aged 20-30 who are out of school and navigating the challenges of adult life, making it harder to make new friends.

Some of my fav things to do in my sporadic free time include playing pickleball, thrifting, going to estate or garage sales, and reading on my Kindle! I currently have five pairs of cowboy boots and counting, so you can always find me line dancing or at country concerts! As for some of my top books I've read so far, they include Fourth Wing, Love and Other Words, Part of Your World, Verity, If He Had Been with Me, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and Reminders of Him.

2022 & 2023 was a busy year for me! 2022 I decided to go full-time with my photography business while starting my Linker role with LINK x LOU. Never would I have imagined giong the self-employed, entrepreneur route for my career path, but here we are! I've been loving it ever since. Linden and I got our first cat and then the second because she needed a friend! In 2023, we bought our house and also got married! I absolutely adored my bridal era and planning a wedding, so I'm your right hand-gal if you need tips for planning :)
