How it Happened -

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been absorbed in photography. As a little girl I would sit in front of the bookshelves in my house, looking through old photo albums for hours on end. At that time, my father had an SLR camera with a large telephoto lens. I loved the sound the shutter made as a picture was captured, the way the metal rings on the lens felt as they turned, and to this day I’m still rapt in these simple functions.

I went on to take photography classes in high school and learned traditional film processing and darkroom skills. I was blessed to have several incredible art teachers who encouraged me to explore the arts deeper and continue my arts education in college. I attended Syracuse University and graduated with a B.F.A. in both Design and Photography. During this time I also had the extraordinary opportunity to study abroad for a semester. It had been a dream of mine to travel and so I saved every penny I could to spend the summer after my semester abroad backpacking in Europe. It was through this experience that I caught the "travel bug" and knew that I had a lot more exploring in store for me. I've made my way to over 20 countries to date!

My time traveling has been a true inspiration to me and really served as the motivation for me to pursue the communications end of the art spectrum as opposed to fine arts. I realized that I wanted to use my creative talents to tell REAL stories. I knew I didn’t want to be cramped up in a studio all day but rather out, participating in the world, and capturing natural moments as they unfolded before me.

Over the course of the next few years I worked full time as a graphic designer and also worked with several different photography studios and photographers, expanding my breadth of photographic abilities. I’ve worked on everything from yearbooks to product photography, advertising, proms, even sporting events - but my heart was always out in the field. I live for the excitement that comes with the hunt for that perfect moment, the pursuit of the image that allows time to stand still, the photo that truly speaks a thousand words.

I’m excited to be running my own business now, focusing in lifestyle photography. I aim to capture people in their natural environments; be it through an editorial assignment, a wedding, or family portraits, I strive to tell a unique story with every image I create. I hope that we can work together to tell your unique story in the future.
