About

Approach

I connect with people through pictures to celebrate who they are and tell stories to support their purpose and creative expression. I strive to make images with meaning and artistic integrity that can be treasured for years. I love photographing people and gatherings and finding the art within.

Work

I am a visual artist based in New York working in photography. I have a collection and active practice of fine art photography, and specialize in portraits of all types, weddings and other events.

Background

I grew up in Lafayette Park, Detroit. My mom was a ballerina and owner of a cheesecake business. My father was an architect and later a grocery store owner.

I drew inspiration from my childhood and while living in Paris, Berlin, Northern California and Bolivia, before settling in New York. I am a commercial, portrait and event photographer based in New York since 2003.

My list of clients includes the Hall Art Foundation, Sotheby’s, Gagosian Gallery, Myles Group, Columbia University, New York University and the Center for Jewish History.

My artwork has been exhibited in Paris, Boston, San Francisco, Berlin and New York. I hold a BA in Economics and French from Smith College and received my photography education at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, the Boston Architectural Center, and The New England School of Photography, Boston. My work has been published in The New York Times, Elle Magazine, and dozens of other publications in the US and Europe.
