About:

Who am I? I am a Philly girl living in New England. I was a dancer (not on a pole) for over 20 years. I was a hip hop artist and rave MC in Europe in my early 20s. I was a 30 year old undergrad with a degree in film production and minor in photography. I was a TV producer in LA for 9 years and photographed music and playboy babes on my days off. I am now, a photographer of weddings, food, families and children with special needs. I have a kick ass husband who is a chef and two sons ages 7 and 3. I am currently working on a book for the Camphill Special Schools documenting the lives of the students who have extreme autism and other challenging disabilities in my ‘free time’.

I represent the unrepresented in the New England wedding world. I always ask my couples, “Do you see yourself in a typical wedding guide/magazine/or blog…well neither do I when it comes to my work”. I love to shoot off the cuff and will try anything once. I will never ask a groom to ‘dip’ his bride. (unless the couple asks of course) My clients are inked, into hip hop, rock ‘n roll, gay and lesbian, wild and crazy folks want a story told their way. Unexpected, not traditional and lots of fun.
