Welcome to my website! In the stream are images from some of my shoots and personal work as well. Please drop me a line and comment. I’d love to hear from you!

I grew up in NYC and graduated from Vassar College. After college I moved back to NYC and became a singer songwriter. I wrote songs for BMG Music and after a couple of years got signed to DreamWorks Records. In 1998, the year I released my first album, I moved to Los Angeles, CA. I got to tour all over the country and I even performed on the famous Lilith Tour. I enjoyed it so much that I began documenting my travels and tours with photographs.

In 1999, I had an opportunity to travel through India and Nepal, both countries that I adored. I bought a new camera and a bunch of film, which enabled me to capture the breathtaking sights. As the trip progressed, I became more and more obsessed with documenting my experience visually. That trip changed my life both spiritually and artistically. When I got back to LA, I knew that I wanted to pursue photography. Even though I was still doing music. I could photograph all my musician friends for their press packs or CD covers.

In 2002, I got a job with Jeff Kolodny Photography, a studio that specialized in weddings and portraits. When Jeff took me on my first wedding to 2nd Shoot, I was hooked! For a year, all I did was go to weddings and capture all the behind the scenes photojournalistic moments. In addition to shooting, Jeff taught me so much about lighting and posing. After a year, I enrolled full time in photography school at Santa Monica College and Jeff had enough confidence in my abilities to send me out on my own. In 2005, I started my own business, which, thankfully, has been growing strong ever since.

Weddings are a huge part of my business, however, I am lucky to have such loyal clients who are asking me to photograph their pregnancies and children as well. I love it all. I hope I can document your life too! My true dream in photography is to have clients for a lifetime and to capture their special moments in their life.
