I was eight years old when I got my first camera, an original pink and grey Polaroid.  I’ve been taking photos ever since.

I started photographing nature in my hometown of Kinnelon, New Jersey and the interesting people in New York City. With Hoosier blood deep within, I ventured off to Indiana University to study photography and more. After school, I moved to Boston, Massachusetts to work as the studio manager for renowned photographer, Lou Jones. I continued my own work helping numerous non-profits enhance their portfolios and create documentaries. My work has been showcased in galleries in Indianapolis, New York City and the greater Boston area. I have traveled to many places around the world, developing my artistic perspective and documentary style photography. One of my greatest pleasures is meeting people and experiencing cultures. I believe that putting myself in new and sometimes uncomfortable situations allows me look at the world through different “lenses”, the lenses of the local people. This has expanded my views of the world and allowed me a deeper appreciation for all things beautiful.

I am now based in Brookhaven, Georgia and enjoy capturing images of the South, working with families to make beautiful memories and creating art.
