Josie Tan

I have been a photographer for 17 years and counting in the fashion industry, published in international magazines like Rolling Stones, People, US weekly, FHM and etc.
I moved to Oregon the same day I was done with my cancer treatment, drove for 15 hours non-stop, desperately needing a new start to fulfill a more meaning in my work.
I have finally found it!

It wasn't until I had my oncologist told me "There's an 80% chance you won't carry again”. The only option was to freeze my eggs as I underwent chemo and radiation treatments that later also induced menopause. I wanted more meaningful work, I wanted to create milestones of growing families and cherish the motherhood journey that I didn't get to have for myself.

Now, I am honored to be able to grow with the families that started their first child with me. It means the world that I get to watch these babies grow and their families blossom.
