About Me

I received my first camera when I was 10 years old as a birthday gift. My father bought it because I’d been mentioning wanting a camera.  It was a 110 film Instamatic, with the 10 flash cube sticks.  

I was intrigued at the concept of capturing what I saw and began documenting people and things around me, it just felt like home and was fun. I also had an artistic flair and could draw well, paint, write poetry and short stories, and had to try to play any instrument that was near me. I’ve always had a guitar nearby, and was able to learn a bit. I was always drawn to the artistic side of things.

A friend's sister thought of me after I had my son in my mid-twenties and did not want to return to a 9-5 schedule.  I was offered a position at the studio where she worked as a photographer's assistant. This was a very busy NJ wedding studio, so- I began a new chapter in the photography industry.

My learning experiences began hands on.  I was immersed in it. Weekends were spent assisting photographers at weddings and Mitzvahs, and from the first one I was hooked. Each wedding was its own little adventure and I loved that.   

While I photograph events and portraits when working with the public, on my own I photograph a wide array of different subjects. I enjoy landscapes, nature, wildlife, street photography, travel, and anything interesting. When not using my Nikons, I enjoy shooting with my iPhone.
