My passion for photography started in my early teens after my grandfather got me my first film camera. I remember walking around, shooting anything and everything, and being so moved by shadow play. As a critical deep thinker and observer, photography has become an integral part of how I see the world and a way to express myself. It offers a unique ability to turn the mundane into something truly special while also conveying reality. Sometimes that means pointing directly into the sun to catch a magical moment, or trying to capture the aura of my couples. I’m obsessed with nuance and the unseen: the shadows of walkers, not just their bodies; the guests who never hit the dance floor. I’m into it all.
I love all aspects of photo work. I’m self-taught and spent over a decade in my twenties immersed in the NYC photography underground. I came to weddings by chance in 2016 through a Craigslist ad, and I truly fell in love.
My wedding style is honest, steers away from posey traditional, and leans into rough-around-the-edges, freestyle documentary work. I have a deep passion for truly creative and artistic photography, using real surroundings to tell a story. In doing so, I hope to capture deeper and more meaningful aspects of my subjects. I truly believe what sets me apart is this a most of the photo scene is filled with overly posed and cliche work. Even the so called documentarians are falling into the same ( click bate) for the gram type work. I pride myself on doing this for the photo pabulum that still resonates in 20 years from now. something you’ll look back on and be like yep that was us.
I shoot 35mm film and digital, with a focus on my many point-and-shoot cameras. I currently have around 8 at each wedding someone counted them for me once. The half-frame is my favorite right now, along with my beloved Yashica.
I recently moved from NYC, my hometown, to the Poconos in PA with my husband Ralph and two children, Luchiana and Odin. I serve NYC, PA, and NJ, as well as other locations within a 2–3 hour drive. In addition to photo work, I hold a master’s in counseling from NYU, and I work part time as a therapist for a private practice in Bethlehem, PA.
these two beautiful ladies totally stole my heart last night. right in my home town started at @promiseridge and ended in town. It was an honor ..
Wasn’t ever really into the idea of becoming a wedding photographer but I fell totally in love with this and so deeply happy I keep meeting couples who let me do what I want .. and allow me to be an artist !
