About

I have a confession. I’m a bit of a goofball. Really, I blame my father. His favorite pastime was to embarrass me in public doing something ridiculous. I should thank him. His gift to me was the ability to relate quickly to all ages and elicit authentic reactions. I enjoy bringing out that little sparkle in the eye that makes us…well, us. Being quite the kid at heart myself, I specialize in teen and mitzvah photography. It’s the perfect age. Remember how confident and sure of ourselves we were as 13-year-olds? Haha. I jest. This is where my mom pops into my head. She always wanted my sister and I to exude respect and love for those around us while maintaining confidence. It’s why I love photographing my teens as if they are ready to conquer the world. You can see it in their eyes. Confident girls and boys. Our next generation. Ready for anything. And, of course, we take the goofy shots as well.

Ultimately, my goal is always to capture the peak of emotion in a photograph, whether confidence, joy, or simply cuddly love.
