This past year I’m proud of coming back to my love for photography & working with some amazing artists & orgs. Grateful for all the people I’ve collaborated with that made this year so memorable 🤍
Here are some fav shots from 2025 & more can be found at my new website! I’m already excited for what’s planned in 2026 ✨

Napa triathlon! 🏊🏽♀️🚴🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️Loved seeing people from ages 12 to 74 racing on hills, and in the RAIN! Am inspired to keep getting better 🙂↕️🌟
Glad I got to share this moment with my partner @annamacan who literally saved 2 people from drowning (you should get an extra medal) 🤯 lol let’s do it again
Hopped off a boat into a festival in Mexico! What is life! @jococruise featured some amazing artists this year including @hicorook who I’m still dancing to 🪩
Have had a lot of fun capturing portraits for some amazing musicians! Bringing my two loves of music + photography together has been dreamy ✨ HMU if you’re looking for some new headshots!
Sound bath, self-care & sips from @pinayista to slow down as we end the year 😌 @charitomusic led a sound bath followed by mind-body therapy from @don.miralles and @igotchoback.ch3n , sweet treats by @ubeareabakery , and thoughtful reflections led by @ginamariko ✍🏽
Grateful to @bravenewspaces for hosting in their beautiful location! ✨
How are you showing up for yourself at the end of the year?

The Bay Area Filipinx arts community came together to celebrate choreographer @sammay.art and ten years of movement rooted in cultural remembering, colonial resisting, and collective healing 💫
The night brought together costume work by @filmandfiber , food by @chefcharleen , a powerful dialogue led by @aimsonaim , and a film screening of Sammay’s past performances—closing, as all good celebrations do, with a dance party by DJ @ET_IV 🪩
The way home is an upwards spiral 🌀
What an incredible premiere to witness @ybgfestival ! Am always moved by the work of @sammay.art ⚡️ These dancers made me feel like fighting, grounding, healing, a hug 🫂

Such a privilege to photograph the 2025 NPR Tiny Desk Contest Winner @rubyibarra ! And witness my partner @annamacan & friends play on this iconic stage 🔥
Out of nearly 7,500 submissions, Ruby’s artistry stands out as a powerful testament to Filipino American culture, immigration, and intergenerational community-building. 🇵🇭👐🏽
