the basics:

I was born in China, and have lived in Florida, Indiana, New Mexico, and all three parts of the DMV (DC, Maryland, & Virginia). I also spent a summer living abroad in Saint Petersburg, Russia! I moved to Miami in 2021 & we’ll be moving back to Virginia in 2026.

the willis fam:

My husband Taylor and I met in college at Georgetown University (Hoya Saxa!). We are proud pet parents to Charlemagne, Napoleon & Maurice—a truly fluffy family—and welcomed a daughter, Ariadne, in 2023.

the hobbies:

You can often find me planning my next trip: passport always in hand, checking out a new coffee shop (for the iced chai), and staying in the hotel room with the best clawfoot bathtub. I’m fond of afternoon tea and I’m also an avid reader! Check out my Goodreads :)

 

My love of photography started when I got my first DSLR as a Christmas present. Soon after, I co-founded my high school’s photography club and started taking portraits of my classmates. After college, I was introduced to film photography and immediately embraced the slower medium. I love the grain, the intentionality, and the vivid colors.
