1/14/2022 COVID-19 UPDATE: I am back to shooting in studio, but I am also committed to keeping us all safe. To that end, I am requiring all people present in studio to be wearing a mask upon arrival, including myself. Models/clients will be able to remove their mask once we are ready to shoot. Parents, guests, chaperones, makeup artists, etc, will be expected to wear a mask for the entirety of the photoshoot.

Hand sanitizer will be available in studio. And of course, if you are not feeling 100% well, please contact me to reschedule your session.

ABOUT ME

Looking for a Photographer?

  • Maybe your high schooler needs their senior pictures.
  • Maybe your modeling profile could use an update.
  • Maybe you just got a new job and you need a new headshot.
  • Maybe you’re recently engaged and searching for someone to record your special day.
These can be stressful times. And asking Facebook for recommendations for a photographer gets you 200 names but how do you really know who to pick?  Today everyone you know is a photographer, so what distinguishes one from another?

Experience.

After 20 years behind a camera, I’ve learned a thing or two about working with clients looking for great images. Whether you’re a bride, a senior, a model, a standout employee, or anyone else looking for photography, I can help you. Look, getting pictures done can be a hassle, but it doesn't have to be. At the end of the day, you want to know that you're going to have a great experience and you're going to get great images. I’ve done it. I’ve delivered quality, on time, and under budget, time and time again.

I have been a freelance photographer with the Rochester Woman Online Magazine, and I have also been published in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Daily Messenger, Life in the Finger Lakes, Eerie Eclipse, Zxibit, Pump, Vertiqle, Myssfit, Southern Style, Elan Vitale, Nephilim and more.

I carry pro grade cameras, lenses, and lighting, as well as backups for everything, to be assured to get the shot. But I also believe that having professional equipment only matters if you know how to use it to its fullest. As a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, former VP of the Western Reserve Photographic Society (Ohio) and current VP and Education chair of the Finger Lakes Photography Guild (New York), I have had the honor of sharing my experiences with aspiring photographers, helping them to get better images each time they pick up their cameras.  In the Spring of 2022, I worked with students at Keuka College as an adjunct professor for Digital Photography, ART 281.
​
I believe in the value of continuing photographic education. I have always believed that dollars spent on photographic education will do more for a photographer's skills than dollars spent on new gear. I have attended workshops at the Can-Am Photo Expo, the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, the Professional Photographer's Society of NY, as well earning a degree from the New York Institute of Photography. I have met and taken classes from professionals in the field including Doug Hansgate, Mark Bowie, Tony Sweet, Dan Hughes, Rick Friedman, Vincent Versace, Tony Corbel, and others. Each one has impacted my photographic vision and ability in unique and valuable ways.

​"Photography is an art of observation.  It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them".    -Elliot Erwin
