This was such a special moment captured of a close friend of mine. We had talked about the beauty and interpersonal moments that come with Black hair. I stayed with her for over 7 hours as she did her hair from start to finish, Afro to braids. Not only was it a monumental day for us as friends and creative collaborators, but it connected us both to our roots and  forced us to confront the complexities with our own Black hair. 

My wife and I live life on the road.  She is a traveling physical therapist and I work remotely.  We have been traveling the US for the past two years living in different locations around 3 months at a time.  While moving from Coos Bay, OR to Tucson, AZ we drove down the California coast.  On a characteristically windy day at Point Reyes National Seashore we spent a day exploring and roaming this wild part of the Pacific Coast. 

An outing with my oldest sister, taking a moment before seeing a movie. 

Shooting after breakfast, met someone who stays in the same hostel. 

When spring reached Bangalore, the place I migrated to for work, I had to capture it on beautiful Kodak Vision3 250D. So me and my friends, who makes this place more like home, went out on a flower hunting photowalk. 

Shruti, my friend with an eye for old cars, spotted this beautiful Fiat Super, and how could we not capture it in the glory of Kodak Film! 

To an amazing day on film!

Here’s JoJo’s adventures filled with zoomies and on his wheels!  2 days with his custom Full Support Cart from k9carts and he’s really getting the hang of it! Nothing can stop him now! he’s zoomied his heart out all over house, the back yard, and even zoomed around the driveway to say hi to neighbors. There is a video of him running to my husband for the first time without my help. Definitely a core memory for us. :)

Saturnia natural springs in Tuscany , on Kodak Portra 400

We were driving down the PCH looking for a place to watch the sunset when we came upon this spot. I didn’t even see the couple until I had parked and gotten out.

The scene was so peaceful and genuine - it stopped me dead in my tracks. 

It was the last night of my trip and I only had a few more shots of Portra 400 left. Fortunately, I was able to make them count. 

On an early spring walk on a Sunday afternoon, my eldest decided his legs were too tired to keep going so rested on a fence.  We had to send the little one back to encourage him to keep walking.

spotted the light leaks

 Blessed to be able to capture my best friends after their engagement, congratulations Jason and Jenn! 

When I noticed, my cat was doing this pose.

Just a couple on film. 

At the end of Waikiki beach there’s a pier where all the local kids jump off of. They jump from all over. These 2 had just come back from a day of fun and I thought their matching offset towels just popped with all the other color around. 

Growing up, I spent as many of my summers as I could afford to in Greece visiting with family. I got my first camera when I was 12, and took it abroad with me that summer. I have been passionate about photography ever since, and got my Bachelors Degree Of Fine Arts in Photography in 2016 🤓
My Canon was gifted to me by the father of the guy I was dating back in 2012 so that I could start my college courses. It is still my favorite and most used camera even 12 years later. I quickly fell in love with film and the darkroom, and have been practicing analog ever since (am I dating myself yet? 😅)
I need to travel, I love to read, nature is my home base, I make a conscious effort to practice gratitude daily, AND I’m also a giant goofball… But not that giant because I’m not even 5ft tall.
 

Caught this cute moment between two of my best friends watching sunset 🥹

Daffodil Drop is a true symbol of spring , the image was captured in camera with a macro lens and close up filters.

40th birthday to my best friend. 
Friends are the family you can choose. 

So comfy and cozy in bed. I refuse to go potty in the rain.

After years of saving  and planning , we finally purchased our first home! Closing day was really special for us and is the start of investing into our own little family.

I was trying to find the best spots for viewing Mt. Fuji

Documenting our everyday life, starting with breakfast time.

Remembering our first Easter of our family in the United States.
