Photography has always been a passion of mine. As a teen I loved thumbing through Vogue, Elle, and Bazaar looking at poses, lighting, wardrobe. My goal is to give my clients quality images along with capturing real emotions in every frame.

When Cristina and Juan Carlos began dreaming up their New York City engagement session with me, I could tell we were going to have an amazing time from the start. We knew that we were looking for classic architecture, cobblestone streets, and that classic NYC feel. As I began to research, I found a gorgeous sky bridge in Tribeca and immediately knew it would be perfect for Cristina and Juan Carlos’s vision!
To kick off our session in Tribeca, we met me at a fun and trendy coffee shop. It was a great place to warm up and catch a little of the World Cup, before heading out onto the streets ..read more

I’m so excited to be sharing this gorgeous winter engagement session with you! Madison and Dylan are tying the knot this summer at the Lake George Club. As we began to plan their engagement session, they mentioned the idea of a wintery snow-filled engagement session on Lake George. I absolutely loved the idea of being able to capture them along the same lake twice, in different seasons, so we began to watch the weather and plan.
The night before their session, we lucked out with a snowstorm. So, the day of their portraits, we weren’t able to get super close to the water – which turned ou ..read more

Congratulations, Becca and Chris! These super sweet newlyweds planned a gorgeous winter wedding at one of my favorite venues, the Adelphi Hotel in early December. It was a chilly winter day, but Becca and Chris were troopers.
We did their first look on the iconic balcony of the Adelphi, which is always a stunning backdrop. Overlooking Saratoga Springs and full of old world charm with its great architecture. Becca stunned in an Eva Lendel dress that had a detachable train. She kept that off for their first look, which meant that she still had an element of surprise for her walk down the ..read more

Sarah and Tyler hosted the most beautiful winter wedding at the Franklin Plaza in Troy, NY this Christmas. It was a dreamy day filled with lots of personal details and reminders of the winter season. Sarah absolutely loves Christmas, so it’s no surprise to me that she and Tyler chose December for their own wedding. I loved walking into her bridal suite in the morning of the big day to find little hints of Christmas - including the super fun holiday light inspired cups she was drinking out of! Some of my other favorite photos took place in the morning while I was with Sarah and her girls, too ..read more
