Life is but a dream, so they say. Telling a story during these special moments is always the goal. See for yourself. 

Capture those special memories

       I have always considered myself both an artist and a visionary, taking pictures with my eyes everywhere I went long before I began capturing the moments I found beautiful and inspiring for myself and on behalf of those who have naturally found their way to me for my services. Gems Original Photo was an invention sparked by my innate passion for art but it definitely gained its fast momentum in 2020 by necessity: the pandemic struck and I suddenly found myself having all the time, desire and motivation in the world to do what I’d been wanting to do for a long time, and I was finally in the right place, time and mindset to take my dream off the ground. 

      My versatility as an artist behind the lens can be attributed to my wide range of personal interests: I’m able to capture key moments in sports events because of my own experiences as a champion Muay Thai fighter, along with my enthusiasm for extreme sports such as snowboarding and bodybuilding. I can also easily crystallize striking portraits of women, couples  and families both because of my own experience as a published model and as a  married mother of 4 children in varying ages and stages. Lastly, because of my long standing passion for music and high art, I am able to seamlessly co-create the visions of fellow musicians, singers and visual artists on camera and film. 

     I am a student of life, always creating in the image of my creator, and my chosen medium of expression is the curated framing of human behavior and nature itself. Thank you for choosing me to capture the unique, original moments of your life. I look forward to working together with each of you!
