Behind the Camera...

It's been a wonderful journey since I picked up my first camera and started snapping away at the age of 12. Of course a lot has changed since then. I've felt a reinvention of style and found inspiration in the people and surroundings around me. As I continue to delve deeper into this art, I've learned more about the beauty and complexity of life.

There's no doubt that this art is my passion and my outlet. I hope that what you find here is a familiar smile, a treasured hug, an excited leap of joy, an unwavering gaze, or even an intimate moment between a photographer and her subject.

Food Marathon in Leslieville

When I was younger, I had my share of food thanks to my parents owning 2 Chinese restaurants when we were in L.A. Every day after school, I’d get to have my pick at anything on the menu. I always went for the Pepper Salted Fried Shrimp. I was a chubby kid and literally grew...

Want Sum Dim Sum?

Lately I’ve been going to a lot of new eateries in the lovely city of Toronto. May need to start a category just for food soon!

A Spiritual Place

When my friend Rosanna first told me about this place, I was intrigued. See, I’ve been to Cathedral Town and I’ve seen temples and churches all my life. But when I got to BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, I was floored and overwhelmed. Even more so when we went inside. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to photograph...
