Photography has been a passion of mine since my early teens. As a critical deep thinker and observer, it’s become an integral part of how I see the world and a way to express myself. Photography offers a unique ability to turn the mundane into something truly special while also conveying reality—choosing to point directly into the sun sometimes to get a magical moment, maybe even trying to capture the aura of my couples, obsessed with nuance and the unseen: the shadows of walkers, not just their bodies; the guests at the part 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 perfecting my craft. I came to weddings by chance in 2016 through a Craigslist ad, and I truly fell in love. It’s been such a gift to merge my creativity with my other passion: people. In addition to photo work, I hold a master’s in counseling from NYU.
My wedding style is rooted in realism and documnetary styled work, but I also have a deep passion for truly creative and artistic photography—using the surroundings to tell a story. In doing so, I hope to capture deeper and more meaningful aspects of my subjects.
I currently shoot 35mm film and digital, with a focus on my many point-and-shoot cameras. 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 and two children Luchiana and odin. I currently serve NYC, PA, + NJ as well as other locations within a 2-3 hour drive.

Happiest of birthdays to this forever beauty.I had the honor of photographing her family portraits a few years back, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. It was another true honor for the Collective to capture her recent birthday celebration. You are absolutely stunning—inside and out—and always will be. shot by ignacio @deewest_
i always feel drawn to these characters at the weddings, our older population has so much wisdom to impart onto us, while we remain obsessed with youth we are all missing a major aspect of the picture, that with ought the wisdom we will also remain lost on our path, in ancient indigenous times the elders held the highest positions in the society. I really enjoyed talking with these two, i think the human connection is a huge part of the work i do.
