More History behind the Artist:

“I’ll never forget the first time I took a professional photo. I felt an exhilarating rush of excitement and creative joy with every click of the lens. It was over 18 years ago in New York City, where I was a dancer trying to make art. My friends needed headshots, and I wanted to provide that for them. Photography gave me the same sense as dancing in front of an audience. It was a feeling of complete and utter happiness and warmth. I could study the curves, shapes, space, and relationship between my subjects. Bringing my love of art, color, movement, and aesthetics together.

Years passed, my dance career morphed into a career in cosmetics. It’s a long story of how I got there, but an interesting one never the less. (I’ll save that story for another time.) I booked photography jobs regularly as I was also building my other profession. I have worked on everything from corporate headshots to music videos. I was in demand due to my unique and creative background. Funny thing about being an ex-professional dancer and make-up artist, who is also a photographer… I really learned how to make my clients look and feel amazing in their photos.

I hope to bring that same feeling to YOU, my future Client. You are the reason I do this. I want to capture your true self. Whether it be for your professional headshot or just a celebration or your life. I want to be there to make YOU feel incredible. I offer a luxurious and pampering experience. My clients’ happiness and providing quality work are among my highest priorities. Let’s create something special for YOU! Contact me. I want to talk! "
