My Life
I’m a Jersey girl, born & raised. I feel at home when I have the ocean in my ears, the sun on my face, and my toes in the sand. My fiancé and I live with our golden retriever puppy just blocks from the beach. I love going for walks with the dog, riding bikes around town, bundling up next to the fire, and wearing oversized hoodies while sipping on coffee. As well as being a photographer & designer, I’m also a certified cycle instructor, so I have knowledge, training and love for the fitness industry too. Traveling inspires wonderment & creativity in me that sparks a special joy inside. We love to travel and can’t wait to bring Maani along with us!
I love:: photography, dogs, all things nautical, zombies, "Friends", chocolate covered strawberries, cupcakes, Dunkin Donuts, Autumn, Disney/Pixar, Star Wars & Marvel
My History
I graduated the Richard Stockton College (University now!) of New Jersey, with my Bachelor's Degree in Art. From there, I worked alongside an amazing portrait and wedding photographer for years before starting my own business. I have had the opportunity to shoot film and digital, process film, and develop in a darkroom. I have learned alternative processes such as cyanotype prints, lithography, and transfers.
I enjoy stylized shoots with models, and have even modeled myself some (so I know what it is like to be on the other side of the camera!) I have found a love photographing families, portraits, couples, children and commercial/product photography.
My Mission
As a photographer, it is my job to “take photos” but over the years as a professional, I’ve selectively crafted and developed my style; compelling imagery, created naturally.
I strive to produce photo sessions that are laid-back and focus on making each client feel comfortable & relaxed. My intention is to bring your vision to life, even better than imagined.
If you value photography & art, consider your investment as an investment in YOUR memories & legacy you will leave behind. Capturing the natural, comfortable interactions between loved ones is what I hope to achieve with each and every client I photograph.
I can't wait to speak with you and capture your family's memories!
