hey hey, welcome!

welcome to my corner of the web
Thank you SO, SO much for stopping by! Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or hot cocoa) and make yourself comfortable!
I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based out of Central New Jersey. Photography has been a passion of mine a little over half of my life. Every year the love for capturing memories grows stronger and stronger. So whether you're here to be captured or to be inspired, I appreciate it SO much, it is not remiss in my book.
I started my journey as a photographer in middle school. In 7th grade, I got the opportunity to join a photography program. I was obsessed ever since then, learning the history, techniques, etc. I begged my parents for a camera one Black Friday and became known as the girl with a camera everywhere. It is almost embarrassing the amount of photos I took everyday.
As time went on, it was always a love of mine. At one point, I went through a huge life change and, after speaking with my brother on where could life take me next, he said something that will forever resonate with me. He said, “You’ve always loved photography and are good at it. Why don’t you focus on that again?” And just like that, photography chose me and I embarked on the path of making it my career. Thankfully it never feels like a job, and being with people and seeing their face light up in front of the camera brings me the most joy. I’ve learned so much through the years in mastering the art of photography and photographing people.
a little history!

i'm creating art & freezing memories in time.
No matter how much work I do or when things are challenging, at the end of the day, I absolutely LOVE what I'm doing. I am able to make people feel beautiful and bring their personalities and stories to life.
And, to me, that is part of what it's all about. Being able to bring you back to a special time and place in your life, time and time again. With 5+ years of experience and over 50 weddings under my belt, I am prepared for any situation and ready to do it all!
I hate flying!
(Not for the reason you may think) but I absolutely LOVE to travel. The contrast is real, I know! I'll go literally anywhere for a photoshoot.
hebrews 6:19
this is my favorite scripture. I love it because it's about how faith is like an anchor and I love anchors. I almost named my business with something involving anchors.
I have a dry sense of humor
I know what you are going to say, "You should watch The Office! That show is perfect for you!"
But, NO! I refuse to watch The Office, I can't get into it.
I love sports
oddly enough, it's one thing that actually makes me emotional and I'm not an emotional person. There is something about sportsmanship and that camaraderie that just gets to me.
Want to Hangout?
You can get me to leave the house by inviting me to get coffee, tacos or pasta.
I might be a CA Girl At Heart
I'm obsessed with San Diego, it would be my dream to live there.
