ABOUT

It is a privilege to be invited in, to watch and listen, and to create for the people who trust and collaborate with me.

Today, I have more than a decade of experience photographing weddings, and my compassion for and curiosity about humans and how they love continues to grow.

I never thought I’d be a wedding photographer, but to one degree or another, I’ve lived and breathed photography as a means of knowing and experiencing my life since I got my first camera. I was ten, and the camera was a Polaroid One-Step - a total cliche, I know.

I grew up in New York City, and when I got to high school, I found my place in the darkroom - developing and printing the photos I took. Regardless of what I was photographing - the streets around me, the lives of my friends and family - the camera allowed me to see and be present in the world, and to communicate my experience without having to find the words to describe it.

Professionally, I got my undergrad degree in sociology, then earned a masters from the New School, where I honed my skills in visual storytelling and documentary photography. And I learned lighting and the technical side of things through years of photo assisting for big-name editorial and advertising photographers in NYC. 

In addition to being a full-time photographer, I’m the mom of two awesome kids, the spouse of a sculptor, a former NYC bike messenger (!), a coffee addict, a craftster, a list maker, and many other things. And I have never met a dog that I didn’t like.
