On an October afternoon, the sun dipped into my Paris apartment in Le Marais while I photographed the lovely and talented Sylvie for a lifestyle session. I had gone to a flower shop the day before I just happened to be passing by while it drizzled outside. I picked up some cotton and neutral dried flowers to pair with the outfits Sylvie had prepared. I loved having a mix of her in her stylish and comfy daytime look, and then wandering the streets in with her gray tweed skirt and maroon beret. All the tones came together beautifully and we had such a wonderful time together! Are you in Paris or ..read more

9 days in Jamaica with Lindsay and Dave involved the best fish sandwich of my life at Rockhouse Hotel, endless bami and crystal blue water. This wedding was extra special as it was of two of my friends. I’ll look back at this celebration as one filled with relaxation and joy, friendship and beach patties. Lindsay and Dave have been coming to Jamaica for years and always stay at Whistling Bird, which is where they hosted their wedding with a small group of their friends and family. Super thankful to have been flown out to be the photographer of this dream Jamaica destination wedding! Getting ma ..read more

When I was in Paris last fall, the incredibly talented and kind Kristine and Calen Rhome of the filmmaking team White in Revery reached out about photographing their family while they were traveling there. It’s always such a treat to document other talented creatives, and we had a lovely autumn afternoon strolling around- starting at the Pont de Bir-Hakeim bridge and then finished at the Jardins du Trocadéro that overlooked the Eiffel Tower. I’m so glad I could photograph other fellow American families traveling to Paris, the best city in the world! I’m there often, so don’t hesitate to reach ..read more

Ty and Priya got engaged at The William Vale rooftop in Brooklyn. It was a perfect evening with the sun dipping down behind the New York skyline as Ty proposed. They finished celebrating the evening with a bottle of champagne while they took in the views of Manhattan! It was truly lovely being a part of this beautiful proposal and engagement session in Brooklyn! If you’re thinking about proposing, I’d love to be there to document it! I can’t wait to hear from you ..read more

If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with alpacas. I first fell in love when I traveled to Peru in 2013, and since then I’ve wanted to do a shoot with these lovely animals! When I moved to New York in 2015, I had no idea that there were even alpaca farms here- I did a quick google search and found Faraway Farms– owned by Leda and Steve- in Yorktown Heights and paired up with Justine with Together Events & India with IndyFaso to bring this idea to life. I honestly had no idea how this would all come together- bridal fashion and alpacas, but I trusted India and Justine’s vision, we col ..read more

Brita from Filigree Suppers held a Haiku dinner in New York at Frankie’s 457 Spuntino last May. It was full of local vendors and impeccable food. Tall candles lit the tables with each guest receiving a personalized haiku as they chatted over stuffed artichokes and sipped bright aperol cocktails.

We spent an evening in their neighborhood, Fort Greene. They started with cocktails at their favorite neighborhood spot, followed by wandering around the neighborhood brownstones and finishing with tacos at Tacombi.

It’s hard to believe this session was almost a year ago! I loved Elizabeth’s style on her maternity session, that pink off the shoulder dress was the perfect compliment to that morning light we had.

Kelly and Gordon got married on a Sunday in June surrounded by their closest friends and family. This one was extra dear to my heart as Kelly is my very good friend Tim’s sister, who is married to one of my best friend’s, Stephanie. It was so very special to document this quiet, relaxed and joyful day. I flew in that morning, got my rental car, and started photographing Kelly getting ready at her parents house before we all went over to Molly Ward Gardens together for the ceremony and reception. I loved getting photos with their dog Oscar and his puppy friends! We spent some time walking aroun ..read more
