How is it a new year and a new decade?! Welcome to 2020, everyone! I spent my second holiday season in a row in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It's so hard being away from family and friends in America, but I filled my schedule with lots of photoshoots, petsitting for multiple families, and

So crazy, but I'm currently en route back to Ho Chi Minh City for another amazing  All of my social media graphics now showcase what my focuses are on: family, portrait, travel, and documentary photography. Exciting things happening! The rest of 2019 is planned and sorted! WOO HOO! I am ready to work with as many of my clients as possible in the next few months. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by, and how many places I've been able to  I've been back in America for a little over a month already! How time goes by so fast is completely beyond me.

I also have been dog-sitting and housesitting since the beginning of November, and  Well, Christmas has come and gone. It was my first time being overseas and away from my family during the holiday season. Can't say I particularly enjoyed it, to be honest. I knew it would be difficult, but even with FaceTime and WiFi, it just wasn't enough. I will probably do everything in my ability to be with family in the future during the holiday season. However, being in the city of expats,  I'm back!! This is the first time through all my years of traveling, working, and living abroad that I've gone back to a country that I already resided in (except for America, where I grew up and lived for most of my life). I was in Vietnam for over seven months  View from the balcony of a home I am petsitting at in Ho Chi Minh City. |
