BIO

I’m one of those lucky people who knew early on in my life that I needed to do something that is really fulfilling for my soul. Creating beautiful things has always been a passion of mine and when I used my first SLR film camera freshmen year in college, I was hooked. I found that I could use the camera to get close to people in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. People allowed themselves to be vulnerable and open with me. I loved how I could see beautiful things in every person I photographed and how people saw themselves differently after seeing the photographs we created. In a way, I had been training for this career my whole life and so photography came very natural to me. I spent long, happy days in the dark room and loved all of it.  The art of burning and dodging has certainly transformed over the past 20 years but I hold on strong to my traditional education of creating art within the camera itself and with the person in front of me. 

Check out the section “Kind Words” where some of my clients have described their experiences with me. I think the best feedback I’ve ever received though was from a 7 year old girl who, at the end of our session, asked if I could come over for sleepover that night. 

I live in Saratoga Springs, NY with my husband and two young boys - 6 and 3 years old. I have taken the most amazing photographs of them with my husband and live the classic example of mom not being in the photos. I cherish my photographs from our professional photo sessions. No matter if you shoot with me, or with another photographer, just make sure you do professional photos with your family. You will be so grateful you did. 

I am mindful about the organizations where I donate my work and time. I am honored to be a photographer for The Gold Hope Project, working with families who have a pediatric cancer diagnosis. I give to Saratoga Hospital, amongst other local organizations that are important to me. 

Thank you for taking your time to look through my portfolio. I look forward to working with you and creating great work together!
