"Photography is about photographers.
A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel"
I love people a wedding photographer -- I know when the moment has passed, you will only have a memory if you don't have a photo. For this reason, I love being able to capture emotions in photography -- this may be my strongest skillset.
I've been providing wedding photography services for over a decade. I love formal weddings with the black tie attire. I've taken photos from coast to coast. Most of my clients found me from word of mouth. In fact, I didn't even have an official facebook page, instagram, or website until the end of 2022 in hopes the rest of the world would find out about me, lol! The world is full of beautiful places and people and I dream of going to different destinations to photograph it all.

I was born and raised in Lowell, MA (and Lawrence, MA). I moved to Jacksonville while I was a junior in high school, met my husband then and never left. The majority of my family lives in Massachusetts. Less than a handful is in Florida. I do dream someday we will move to Massachusetts but for now we keep Jacksonville as our home.
We have three kids. The youngest being a toddler and the oldest getting ready for college. It's a crazy, chaotic, fast paced life... But somehow.. just somehow I have found a great balance in life while handling home and business.
My Family
We live for
I am always traveling with my family. I love that I am able to do this. This world is huge and we can not see enough of it. We are blessed to live quite an exciting life, always on the go. We travel for both work and leisure. I love to capture the beauty in anything and everything. Travel opens up my creativity, and gives my family a different perspective of things.

I feel this is important to add, especially for other Khmer folks. The #1 question I get asked when meeting people is: "What are you?" And most will guess Filipino or Hawaiian. Given the demographic I am currently in, not many know much about Cambodians -- the people of Cambodia. But I was born and raised in Lowell, otherwise known as Cambodia Town, so where I am from everyone knows I am Khmer.
Yes, it is rare to find a Cambodian girl born in the states who decide to take on photography full time. I love to show that every human, especially of the Khmer decent are resilient people and could achieve anything we put our minds too. I love having these conversations on my background, where my family came from, what they been through, and how they are doing.
I am Khmer
