Owner / Photographer
My work is about creating meaningful, lasting artwork—photographs that live on your walls, rest on your tables, fill albums, and become heirlooms your family returns to again and again. Pieces made to be held, shared, and remembered. That is always my guiding intention.
I’m a boutique family photographer offering a highly personal, elevated photographic experience, with a focus on timeless heirloom art for your home.
My photography journey began in the early 1990s while I was studying at New York University. At the same time, I was working professionally as an actor in theater, film, and television. Friends began asking me to photograph their headshots, and through those early portrait sessions, I discovered a deep love for capturing people as they truly are.
While living in Los Angeles from 1998 to 2008, my work evolved, and I found myself especially drawn to the quiet beauty and expressiveness of children—naturally expanding into family photography. After returning to New York in 2008 to start my own family, my creative world continued to grow, welcoming yoga, wellness, and community into my work. Today, I live on the Queens/Nassau County border and co-own and teach at
Here and Now Yoga, Wellness & Arts Collective in Floral Park, NY. I still accept the occasional acting role and, in 2023, earned my Master of Science in Nutrition with a concentration in Environmental Nutrition from the University of Memphis.
I serve families throughout New Hyde Park, Floral Park, Garden City, Mineola, Manhasset, Great Neck, Bayside, Little Neck, Roslyn, Jericho, and surrounding Nassau and Queens communities.
I would love to meet you and create something beautiful together—artwork you’ll cherish for years to come.
Our next step is simply a conversation.
