In the beginning I spent many hours in the darkroom developing my prints, (and getting rashes and headaches from the chemicals) learning about tones, f8, the decisive moment and other valuable information.

I look up to, (In no particular order) Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Brassai, Berenice Abbott and Mary Ellen Mark, just to name a few. When I am in need of inspiration I look to them to find it.

I annoy everyone with my constant barrage of wedding speak. I don’t know when it happened, but I obsess about weddings. I love everything about them and that’s why I love to shoot them. I Love to work with couples who are cool, interesting, fun loving, creative, laid back and in love.

As much as I love photography, I hate having my picture taken So I understand when couples are a bit nervous in front of my lens.

I also love to cook and I love punk rock, horror movies, sipping wine, my two cats Genevieve and Ansel, my very patient guy Barry, eating out, things in groups of three and ghost hunters.

I currently live in Beacon, NY, just north of New York City in the beautiful Hudson Valley with my fiancé Barry, who is my second shooter and right hand man with all aspects of the wedding business. Barry, comes from Hollywood, with an extensive background of work in the TV/Film Business for and with numerous Top Celebrities.,
