The Girl Behind The Camera

Born in West Milford, NJ, a nature photographer's dream town, I have always appreciated the beauty of the great outdoors.

Though my passion for teaching came at a young age, my creativity shined through in many different avenues before it peaked through the lens (drawing, filmmaking, video editing). It wasn’t until college that I purchased my first DSLR camera and took a serious interest in photography. From then on I took my camera with me everywhere I went, going on scavenger hunts to find letters in ordinary objects to create WordArt in its most unique form, to capturing the sun setting on the Verrazano Bridge or behind a tree on a golf course, to everywhere and everything between.

After realizing just how much I enjoyed learning about my camera, I decided to look into shooting engagement photos. I’ve had the honor and pleasure to capture many of my friends’ bliss on camera. As they each begin to expand their families, I’m able to continue to expand my portfolio with birth announcements, maternity shoots, newborn photos, holiday family photos, and that milestone first birthday.

My goal is to bring nature’s beauty indoors, to add creative décor around your home, and to give you everlasting memories of those special milestone moments in your life.
