Background
With 18 years of experience as a journalist, a lifetime behind a camera, and hundreds of weddings and events in my portfolio, my passion has always been to record the human experience through words and pictures.
The daughter of a sculptor and a photographer, I have been training my photographic eye since childhood. While other children played in the sandbox, I spent hours in my mother's darkroom. I use my background in psychology as well as my intuition (and my heart) to recognize all the moments that make up a life.
With my camera, my job is to capture moments, emotions, milestones and rites of passage. I look for the joy, the spirit of celebration and the sense of community on every face. I record on film all the moments you might otherwise miss, whether they are happening to you, or to people around you.
