Do you dream of clean lines, sunsets, and genuine love stories? Well then, you and I are a lot alike, my friend. Ever since I was little, I have had the overwhelming desire to capture fleeting moments. You know, those ones where you wish you could bottle them up and remember them forever. Human emotion and connection has always been so interesting to me, especially if they are near a body of water.

I fostered my creativity in the photo department of InStyle magazine as well as a bustling photo studio in New York City. I choose to see the world through the lens of golden hour light and thoughtful compositions that draw your eye right where I want it to go. I listen to your personal love story and pay attention when the moments are unfolding before me. 

I carry a medium format film camera as well as a digital one. With these two mediums, similar to oil paint and acrylic, I am able to fully illustrate your story through timeless photographs, undisturbed by trends and clutter. 

My purpose is to create photographs out of the beautiful times in your life and turn them into heirlooms that you'll look back on fondly. This is my life's work and greatest passion. I look forward to meeting you soon!
