What drives my passion for photography is my desire to bring out the beauty in everyone that I meet. I am always smiling and I am very bubbly, positive, and adventurous. My favorite part of every shoot is seeing the reaction from my client when I show them some of the photos during the shoot. I like to check in with my clients throughout the shoot to make sure I’m always catching their good side and helping create the image of themselves that they desire. I shoot mostly outdoors for as much of the year as possible, but I’m happy to find the perfect indoor space as well to capture your personality!

My interest in photography began in high school. I was drawn to photographing people right from the start. I went to Purchase College as a music major, but I was constantly surrounded by artists, and I continued to experiment with my photography in my free time. Since then I have lived in Chicago and South Florida. The incredible people that I met in those places combined with the beautiful and vastly different backdrops informed my style in new and exciting ways. Because of those experiences I am comfortable shooting in urban and rural settings. I recently moved to the Albany, and I feel that I have found my happy place. I cannot wait to meet you and become even more connected with this incredible community!
