A Little About Me

Photography captured my heart at an early age – when I received my first Minolta my junior year in high school. This budding intrigue blossomed into a full time passion when I earned my college degree in fine art photography. Moving into photographing people and moments was a simple and organic transition when I starting growing my own family and felt in the depths of my heart how extraordinary it is to capture every fleeting moment. As we tend to feel the impermanent is permanent, I cherish every moment of capturing even if just a sliver of that joy.

I rely on a classic and clean photographic style and avoid trends that date images. I want my images to be as timeless in 60-years as they are today. Using all my senses, particularly sound, is fundamental to my work and ensures that I am where the moment is happening. My aim is for clean images – free of distraction – in effort to showcase each moment beautifully. To achieve this goal, I rely on a small variety of camera bodies and lenses – utilizing both digital and film gear. All images are then carefully edited for a consistent look between all formats.

Since opening my wedding photography business 8 years ago, I have photographed weddings as far north as Maine, east to the Atlantic, west to Michigan and south to Mexico. My work has been published with: Style Me Pretty, Little Bellows, Ever Ours, Simply Elope, Let the Kids Dress Themselves, Wedding Chicks and Lemonade and Lenses. And as of 2019, I have been assisting new photographers and small companies starting up their businesses – ranging in all areas such as marketing, accounting/financing and branding.

As we recently relocated from the NYC area to the Harford County, MD area, my spare time finds me painting (the house! I’ve no skill with a canvas) and settling in to our new home, walking/playing/training our goofy Aussiedoodle pup, Cheyenne, carting my 2 gorgeous tornado’s of boys to this place or another, practicing and teaching yoga and forever trying to catch a few moments to snuggle my hubby.
