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!

Shelley + Patrick | Engaged! Devils Hopyard State Park

A Connecticut girl, meets her Illinois guy, at their Ohio school. These two have more to thank school for than just an amazing education, Patrick and Shelley, met at school, fell in love at school, and were engaged at school. Their story is a sweet and cool as it can possibly be, and have law school to thank for their chance encounter.
We met in East Haddam, CT, at Devils Hopyard State Park, for a shooting session of just cool, fun engagement photos. The fact that these two definitely didn't make this girls job hard at all, as Patrick & Shelley just ooze, fun, & cool! I was so happy to finally meet them and I am so, so, so stoked for their wedding this fall!!!
Enjoy!

Taking Off Seminar | New York, NY

Several months ago, I was lucky enough to participating in a photography workshop with the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Robert & Kathleen, in New York City. From the second I walked into this two-day experience, I was in love! I met so many wonderful people, made so many incredible new friends, and shot some amazing photos thanks to Robert & Kathleen and the incredible team they had set up this unbelievably beautiful, Marie Antoinette inspired wedding shoot. Styling was done by Jubilee Events, the dress was from The White Dress by the Shore, flowers by Datura - A Modern Garden, and makeup and hair was by Jennie Fresia.

We meet and our seminars at the London Hotel, and shot at the incredible cool, and Rock & Roll, Hotel Chelsea, the entire day was right up my alley, it all just oozed, beautiful, elegant and cool! Months later, I am still beaming from this experience, the new friends I made and the opportunity to learn and work with my new friends Robert & Kathleen Trenske, thank you!!!!!

Here is just a taste of some of the photos I took....

And again, this amazing shoot couldn't of happened without the amazing help of my couples wedding planner, Solo Tu Events, their hairdresser & makeup artist Teena Gugliotti, and their amazing 'save the dates' by Jsala. Also a special thank you and shout out to La Fiorentina bakery for the yummy dessert, and Saccuzzo coffee for allowing us to shoot at their cafe space!! Thanks everyone for making this photo shoot EXTRA special for a very deserving couple!
