If we were grabbing coffee (a Vanilla Latte for me!), I’d tell you photography is more than a job—it’s how I practice gratitude and preserve life’s beautiful, honest seasons. I believe the most meaningful images come from a place of ease, so you won't find any stiff posing here. I want our session to feel like hanging out with a friend, giving you the space to simply slow down, be present with your loved ones, and let your memories unfold naturally.
If we were sitting down for a cup of coffee right now (make mine a Vanilla Latte), the first thing I’d tell you is that photography is so much more to me than just a job. It is how I practice gratitude. It is how I hold onto the moments that pass far too quickly. And it is how I preserve the beautiful, messy, and honest seasons of life for the families who trust me.
I believe the most meaningful images come from a place of ease. You will not find stiff posing or pressure here. Instead, I create a space where you can slow down, be present, and simply be yourself. Kick off your shoes, hold your people close, and breathe it all in. I want our time together to feel less like a formal session and more like time spent with a friend, where the moments unfold naturally and the memories are captured as they truly are.
A Connecticut storyteller, chasing golden light and preserving the unscripted moments that become your family's legacy.

When I don't have a camera in my hand, my life is wonderfully full and beautifully unscripted
Beyond the Camera (The Personal Side)
- Family-Centered: A proud wife, mom to two girls, and owner of three dogs who embrace a loud, loving, and chaotic life.
- Authentic Approach: Her lively home environment inspires the way she documents real, unscripted moments.
- Simple Joys: Finds comfort in the little things, like sipping a Vanilla Latte.
- Fun Fact: Made a surreal appearance on HGTV’s House Hunters.
- Deeply Grateful: Practices daily gratitude and considers it a profound honor to capture memories that will last for generations.
- At the heart of everything I do is my family. I am a proud wife and mom to two incredible girls who inspire me every single day and remind me just how quickly these chapters pass.
- Our home is shared with three dogs, which means life is often loud, a little chaotic, and always full of love. It is exactly the kind of environment that has shaped the way I see and document real moments.
- I find so much comfort in the little things. A Vanilla Latte is my go to, and if you ever catch me twirling my hair, it just means I am feeling relaxed and at ease.
- Somewhere along the way, I had a fun moment being featured on HGTV’s House Hunters, which still feels a little surreal.
- More than anything, I stay grounded in gratitude. It is something I practice daily and it is the reason this work means so much to me. Being trusted to capture moments that will be looked back on for generations is something I will never take lightly.

Proudly Calling Connecticut Home
Services
Operating out of North Haven, CT, I am deeply inspired by the organic textures and landscapes of our state. The historic stone walls, the rich autumn leaves, and the golden hour light hitting the coastline—these aren't just backgrounds; they are the grounded elements that bring your portraits to life.
Whether we are shooting in my inviting North Haven studio or exploring the beautiful parks across New Haven County and the CT shorelines I love using our local scenery as the canvas for your timeless storytelling.
