With 17 years of experience capturing life’s most precious moments, I specialize in portrait and wedding photography for discerning families, professionals, and couples throughout New Jersey and the New York area. You could say I view the world through rose-colored glasses—my camera is an extension of my heart, allowing me to convey through art the beautiful world I see every day.
Education & Continuous Growth
I hold a degree in Photography and Graphic Design from Monmouth University and have pursued advanced studies toward my MFA at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. My love for learning has taken me around the world to attend workshops and participate in events like the European Wedding Congress. This commitment to growth, combined with my background in both digital and film photography, ensures I bring fresh creativity and refined technique to every session.
Published Work & Industry Recognition
Over my career, my work has been featured in prestigious publications including Business Insider, Martha Stewart Weddings, The New York Times, Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, Black Tie Bride, and Asbury Park Press. My photography has also appeared in several published books, including “Magnificently Made” “Homegrown Cocktails” and “She Had No Business.” I’m honored to have been a Grace Ormond Platinum Vendor and a preferred vendor at Weddings of Distinction.
Creating Comfortable Moments
I believe the best photographs happen when people feel genuinely at ease. My approach is simple and low-key—I go with the flow and love to laugh and smile with my clients. As a mom of three, I’ve developed endless patience and have a natural knack for making even the most camera-shy individuals feel comfortable and confident. Whether we’re capturing your wedding day, family milestones, or professional portraits, I create an atmosphere where you can be authentically yourself.
Life at the Shore
As a lifelong New Jersey shore resident and mother of three, I’m deeply connected to our coastal community. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me dancing around my kitchen while cooking (it’s a must!), enjoying the ocean, sewing, gardening, or traveling. I share my home with my wonderful husband and our 3 wonderful kids Livie, Landon, and Ellie.
A Few Personal Notes
I have a weakness for coffee, I’m utterly obsessed with love stories (I swoon for them), and I adore all things vintage—old homes, cameras, jewelry, and clothes each have so much character. When editing, you’ll find me listening to movie soundtracks (lyrics distract me from the story in the images).
My Promise to You
Photography is always new and exciting for me, and that enthusiasm shows in my work. I understand the importance of preserving life’s transitions and celebrating your unique story. Whether you’re planning your wedding day, updating family portraits, or creating professional headshots, I’m committed to delivering an experience that feels natural and enjoyable while creating images that exceed your expectations.
