The Siegmunds.

OMAR

I grew up in Malaysia in the heart of the peninsula and decided to move to the US sometime in 2016 to seek the great perhaps. I’m passionate about nature and the art of moving within it, whether it be on land or sea. I spent my formative years diving in the cold waters of the Northwest and climbing the Cascade and the Olympic mountains. At the moment, I’m bouncing between writing my thesis and foraging mushrooms.

WINNIE & CLEO

In 2021, we adopted Cleo who was running around the streets of Seattle, followed by Winnie, who was a kitten causing mischief down in the Baja. After spending four years in their quiet house in the country, they packed their beloved kitty snacks and toys and moved to the city. Nowadays, you can find them people watching on their window sill and chirping at pigeons.

Hey there!

Siegmund Photography & Art is made up by Tonya and Omar Siegmund. We met each other on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and got married in 2020. We lived in Port Townsend for about four years until we decided to start a new life in Portugal.

In 2025, we got into film photography and started this website as a means to share stories and photographs we’ve taken in our travels. We are currently based in Porto with our two lovely cats, Cleo and Winnie.

TONYA

I was born and raised in Michigan, near the lake. When I was a teen, I was ready to travel. My early adulthood consisted of riding freight trains, hitch hiking, hiking, camping, living in vans and cars all over the US. I spent a lot of time in Oklahoma and eventually landed in Washington. In Washington is where I really honed in on fiber arts and the joys of wool from sheep to yarn. In my free time I’m usually knitting, baking, or trying to get my hands on clay and a wheel.
