I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

Danielle: Portrait

When you're representing yourself on a professional manner, you need to put your best foot forward. I've seen so many poor photos on websites or LinkedIn pages that were obviously cropped prom pictures or snapshots taken in bad light. Not only do people in these pictures not look their best, it also makes the whole thing look amateurish.

Luckily, Danielle is not one of those people. She needed professional headshots and knew this called for a professional photographer. She's super smart and also loves helping others, so I know she is going to do great things. Now she has the photos to match! Here are a few of my favorites.

Kaman: Pet Portrait

Besides having an absolutely adorable baby, Ken and Lauren also have a super cute dog, Kaman. You might remember him from this session awhile back. Anyway, as I was going through images from their baby and family session, I found this gem and couldn't resist sharing.

Ella: Baby Portrait

Ken and Lauren recently welcomed their first, a baby girl, and I couldn't wait to get over there and take some pictures. Baby Ella is absolutely beautiful and one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. Despite being passed around, positioned and repositioned, and even robbed of her diaper, she just cooed and snuggled up to sleep while I snapped away. I also took the opportunity to take some pictures of her with her parents and I've very honored to share some of their first family portraits.
