Safari in Kenya & Tanzania

I just returned from a breathtaking week-long safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Our trip spanned four locations, including Amboseli, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The only animals I had photographed prior to safari were my dog and those of my clients, so photographing wild animals in their native habitats was a fun challenge.  […]

Genta & Josh || DAR Constitution Hall DC Wedding Photographer

DAR Constitution Hall is one of the most iconic Washington, DC wedding venues. The tall marble columns and views of the Washington Monument make it a complete show stopper when combined with the O’Byrne Gallery for wedding receptions. I shot Genta and Josh’s wedding at DAR Constitution Hall back in April and can’t stop smiling […]

Genta & Josh || Library of Congress Engagement Session

When I first met the couple and they told me they […]

I had the opportunity to travel to upstate New York for Ash and Grace’s destination Indian fusion wedding in October! This intimate destination wedding took place in Rochester just as the fall colors were changing, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Ash and Grace both live in Philadelphia, but wanted to celebrate with 20 of their […]

BEHIND THE LENS

meet Winnie

Director, curator, documentarian, photographer, storyteller. Inspired by history, culture, and the stories that connect us.

My family immigrated to the United States as refugees, leaving their lives behind in search of a brighter future. With all their worldly belongings contained in the suitcases they carried, the scant photographs that crossed the ocean have served as a lifeline to stories untold, allowing me to piece together my family legacy, one image at a time. Decades later, I discovered photography as a medium to document my travels (37 countries and counting!) and encapsulate the joy and happiness that each new adventure brings.
