Let’s face it—family photography hasn’t changed much over the years. Walk into almost any home, and the photos on the walls often feel like variations of the same portrait. I’m here to change that.

I’m a Wyckoff, New Jersey native who taught myself photography from an early age. After studying in London, I went on to assist some of the industry's top fashion photographers throughout Europe and New York City after returning home in 2006. I’ve been fortunate to turn a lifelong passion into a thriving career.

When our daughter, Nora, was born in 2021, my perspective shifted. Since much of my career has been rooted in freelance work, I realized I could bring everything I’d learned in the fashion, advertising, and commercial worlds into something more personal: creating family portraits with the same level of artistry, intention, and authenticity.

With more than 20 years of experience behind the camera, my goal is to elevate family photography beyond the expected. My style blends photojournalism, fine art, and editorial portraiture to create images that feel honest, timeless, and beautifully composed. No elaborate sets. No gimmicks. Just natural light, genuine moments, and a camera.

Let your kids be kids. Let your family be yourselves. Together, we'll create photographs that don't just document a moment—they tell a story you'll want to revisit for years to come, and images that are guaranteed to spark conversation whenever friends and family walk through your door.
