"Rainy Night in Hallstatt", her photo, was taken in Austria as twilight crept in. It shows a church by a picturesque lake.

According to Baet's website, Baet learned photography on her own. She has a degree in English, and has been published in the Philippines and Japan.

She was born in the Philippines but immigrated to the US. England is now her home, though.
