I’m obsessed with really good food, fun vacations, cool music, cheesy jokes and I really, really, really LOVE photography.

I am a photographer that works out of both New York City and Connecticut and I love shooting couples, engagements, weddings, kids & families, and I am always down to travel anywhere!

Meet Me...again, but on video!!!

So I get a lot of emails and I meet a lot of people who give me the "you're just like your pictures!" speech. While, I guess that's true, it's sometimes hard to actually visualize it myself, as I just see myself as a big geek, that loves taking pictures and working with people! That being said, I thought I'd capture that "love" on camera and share with all of you!

When I shoot, one of my favorite things is meeting new clients because its always like a meeting with old friends and I just happen to have a camera in hand, handy for taking amazing shots of you! I like to have fun and I love being silly, and I think my amazingly talented videographer friend captured just that!

So here's a little video, about me, to hold you over until we meet in person! =)

All this awesomeness on tape is thanks to James Patts, you can check out more of his work here, www.jamespatts.com, and my killer makeup job was done by the awesome Danielle Santagata, and of course, my favorite song ever "Home" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros is the background to my "background" on what its like to shoot with me, after all shooting is like home to me!

Photos from this session coming soon!

Nicolette + Omar | Engaged! Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Uncontrollable laughter. That's how I can best describe this session, my face seriously hurt from so much laughing after spending a chilly afternoon with Nicolette & Omar at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Also, did I mention how amazing these two were in front of the camera? They are seriously secret celebrities at heart! I just loved learning about them and shooting their engagement photos, plus Nicolette and I learned we share the same birthday (Flag Day, who hoo!!!) so poor Omar had to spend the day with two spunky Gemini's, maybe that's why we laughed so much? =)

Family Session

I am so happy to share this session, it was a hilarious, candy & cupcake filled day at the Stamford Nature Museum & Crumbs Cupcakes! Bridget & Dan, their awesome 2 kids I've know since birth, plus one really important blue snow hat (!) made for an amazing fall day. I had too much fun, rolling around in the dirt with these 4!
