Thank you for popping by the blog today and for taking a peek at my work! 

It took me a long time to arrive in this place. To unravel myself to discover my deepest passion of photographing people in love. Now, I can't imagine doing anything else. I studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology but always thought I would work in the commercial photography industry and did for many years as a photo producer. After a while, I realized I needed to do something that fulfilled my soul and to be creative for real people celebrating real occasions. I realized that life is fleeting, and if I could make moments stand still with my camera, I would want those to be real moments that mean something very special to the people in the photographs, and that they might last for generations and tell stories of love and life's precious beauty. I strive to create photographs that are timeless, romantic and graceful.

I'm originally from Connecticut but call the San Francisco Bay area home having lived in every part of the peninsula. My husband and I enjoy trips to the wine country, Hawaii and Italy. If we're not cooking a delicious meal, enjoying time with friends, playing tennis, or taking a ride on one of his motorcycles then you'll find us cuddled up on the couch with our cats Zeus and Suki who think our laps were designed especially for their lounging pleasure.
