I am a portrait and travel photographer with a great big heart and a camera that loves faces. I shoot family, maternity, and child photography in the Qingdao area. I have a fee schedule but I also offer my work on a sliding scale to make photography affordable to all families who want it. I am a volunteer with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep in memory of my son Miles, and I do pro bono charity work around Qingdao.

I am a "flat fee" photographer, which means that I deliver your images on high-resolution CD, suitable for printing. Each CD also contains all images sized for web. I do this because owning a CD of your images gives you the flexibility to print your photos at the printer of your choice, to e-mail your photos to friends and loved ones or upload them to Facebook, and it also gives you the peace of mind that your photos are safely in your possesion.

I am an Oregonian by birth, Portlander at heart, and an expat in China by circumstance. I have lived in Qingdao with my husband and my daughter Vivi for the past two and a half years. Before moving to Qingdao, we lived in Busan, South Korea, for three years.
