My Background

I was born in Saigon,Vietnam and raised in Paris, France. Growing up in Europe developed my curiosity for all culture and art forms.

I later embarked on a professional career in Social, Latin, and the Modern Ballroom Dancing.

My entry into Fashion photography was by pure luck. I was dating a fashion model who needed to update her portfolio and her agency liked my work. They asked me to shoot their talents and the rest was history.

My modeling and acting career were also accidental. I walked into a Hollywood Agency to announce my photography services, when the booking agent asked for my Comp cards. I told her that I'm not tall enough to model and she said clients looking for Asian models realize that. She convinced me to give it a try and started booking me with jobs.

My Last Movie

My last movie was Runaway Bride starring Richard Gere, Julia Roberts and Hector Elizondo. It was the first reunion from the original cast of "Pretty Woman". I played of all things... a Fashion photographer! It was a principal role and even got my own trailer. The movie was directed by the wonderfully gifted and humble Garry Marshall.

My Travel Schedule

I will be in Paris early summer, followed by St. Johns, Virgin Gorda, St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Please book early if you wish to catch me at those locations.

My Philosophy

I'm a believer and non-believer of all doctrines. Absolute "truth" is the atrophying of the mind and limits our openness and compassion. Having studied various religions, I've concluded it is best for me to contribute towards others rather than converting them to my "way". Vive la Difference!

I aspire to live fully in each and every moment with passion free from restrictions or hesitations.

I respect and appreciate these Tibetan teachings:

"Strive to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings"
" If you cannot alleviate their suffering, then strive not to bring harm their way"

Simple, concise and to the point.
