I've been based in Virginia since 2024. I grew up in New York, and have lived all over the East Coast. My favorite thing to do in a new place has always been roaming in search of something beautiful to photograph, a habit I developed as a teenager when I got my first camera. I've honed my ability to see a beautiful moment before it even arrives.

Being allowed the privilege to get to know a couple and capture the memories they'll look back on forever makes me unbelievably happy. I want my couples to feel relaxed and unhurried when I'm photographing them, which means I'm listening to your needs, giving solutions to make things go perfectly, following the flow of the day and providing refined photographs that still reflect who you are.

In my spare time, I love making things— knitting, throwing pottery, baking, just to name a few of my many hobbies! My first love was wildlife and nature photography, so when I'm not creating beautiful portraits of my clients, I love visiting local parks, gardens, and national forests.
