I’m a work in progress—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m a mom to four grown kids and the unofficial family photographer at every celebration, big or small. While I appreciate a good posed photo, what I really love are the in-between moments—the laughter, the chaos, the realness.

That’s what I want to capture for you: the memories that make you smile every time you look back. Whether it’s your newborn’s tiny yawn, a wild and wonderful wedding day, or the beautiful mess of a family gathering, let’s make something meaningful together.

And then there’s The Studio Dogs—born from my love of photography and my three dogs: Ringo, Gonzo, and Gryff. What started as a passion project has brought me so much joy, and I’d love to share that joy with you and your furry best friend.

Let’s create some magic—and memories—that last!

It’s not the destination but the journey….From The School of Visual Arts on a photography scholarship when it was only film photography, learning and growing with digital photography, back to film (my art school girl heart is loving this!), photographing NYC streets, my family, children and now my granddaughter, countless family sessions, weddings, magazine covers, bat and bar mitzvahs…it’s been one heck of a journey and I want you to be a part of all of it! So hop on this crazy train of life we me and let’s capture some memories!
