I’m a photographer based in Rochester, NY, a mom to three amazing kids (11, 8, and 6), and someone who knows firsthand that it can be hard to show up for yourself - to celebrate what makes you beautiful - when others depend on you. I see you, and I get it —because I’ve lived it.

Photography is where I come alive. Not just behind the lens, but in that sacred space where light, emotion, and trust collide. Whether I’m working with a high school senior who's feeling less than confident, or an actor on the cusp who knows these headshots need to open real doors… I meet you where you are, and I do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. My sessions are designed to make you feel seen, and celebrated—never rushed or forced. Just you, unfolding naturally, beautifully, and honestly.

Before this chapter, I spent years as a licensed speech-language pathologist, working with children and adults facing significant challenges. That work taught me how to listen deeply, see past surface uncertainties, and help people find their voice—even when the words failed them.

My favorite moment? It’s when you see your final photos and your face lights up—not just because you look good (you will), but because you see your truth reflected back at you. And it feels right. Unapologetically you. That’s your superpower. 

Outside of photography, I’m a book lover, a movie-watcher, former theater nerd, and someone who’s always got one ear tuned to what my kids need—even when they don’t know how to say it yet. I believe in letting people breathe, in giving them room to grow, and in showing up with a quiet kind of love that sticks.

If you're ready for photos that aren’t just images—but invitations to own who you are—I’d be honored to work with you.
