PhotosByWillaJ
Hello, my name is Willa!
I've had the pleasure of photographing an abundance of beautiful moments and people, and it's been a journey from the start. In 2020, I bought my Canon Rebel SL3 to photograph school sports and events. My brother later asked me to take his senior portraits in 2021, which were only half a success because I didn't know know to properly use a camera then... However, things have changed now. I graduated from Edmonds-Woodway High School class of 2022 with a full IB diploma, and I'm studying marketing at the University of Washington at the Michael G. Foster School of Business. I've recently acquired a new camera -- my second-born baby -- R6 Mark II!
I'm a pretty big Swiftie! My favorite songs are Cowboy Like Me, Gold Rush, Foolish One, Peter, The Archer, Seven, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, Death By A Thousand Cuts, Would've Could've Should've, Now That We Don't Talk, Delicate, New Year's Day, and Illicit Affairs. I'm not a huge concert goer usually, but I definitely stroke gold when my friend is a Ticket Master master. Even from the nose bleeds, the show was fabulous! Just know that I will be listening to her songs on the drive there and back from our shoot, and lyrics may occasionally slip out of my mouth...
When I'm not out with you all, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I live at a house with many cats -- the best pet animal to ever exist! I am very grateful for the people that support me as they afford me motivation, support, and advice through all my goals. My friends really supported me in the beginning of my photography journey, and I appreciate them all the time. I truly believe you should surround yourself with the best people possible; I hope I can be that person for you during our shoot.
Though I'm not much of a traveler (#expensive), I have had some great opportunities to spread my mind and soul in different areas of the world. I've visited some of the states, Canada, Italy, and the UK. I was born in China originally, so I hope to visit again sometime in my future. I wish for everyone to get the opportunities to experience new parts of the world as I am grateful that I am able and granted that blessing. Tell me all about your travels (even the shorter distances!).
