About Me

My love for the arts started when I was very young. I was always drawing, painting or taking photos. I received my first camera when I was 5 years old for my birthday and I haven't put one down since. Who knew it would evolve into my life's passion?

I grew up in Rochester, NY and decided to move to New York City to attend college at the Fashion Institute of Technology where I earned my Photography Degree. I was lucky enough to have some of my work on display in various galleries in and around the FIT campus. After life in the city for a few years, I decided to move out west. I settled in Redondo Beach, in southern California. Between the two coasts, capturing all the different people, places and things I had seen, became very inspiring.

Whether I'm photographing people, real estate or special events, my purpose has always been the same…to capture a certain mood or feeling. I do this through using different angles, lighting, textures, colors, facial expressions or by taking a series of photos to tell a story of a special event. I like to produce pieces of art by sharing what I see through my lens. My goal is to create a unique and interesting photo with every click of the button.

I have a lot of experience with all different cameras and formats. I love film and I’ve worked with 35mm, Polaroid, Holga, medium format cameras (both the Hasselblad and Mamiya), large format and of course digital. In this field, I feel one never stops learning and growing as an artist! I am always taking a new class to learn a new technique, or looking for new ways to market myself and my business.

Photography has been my passion now for a long time. I am very dedicated to my work and what I do. There are many facets of photography, and I feel sticking to one genre hinders creativity. I enjoy taking photos of anything from headshots to weddings and everything in between. So, if you're looking for someone to capture your special day/event, family portraits, head shots/branding photos, real estate or even some still-life shots for your business, I would love to invest my time and make it unique!
