Thank you for taking time to look at my photography! It is always so hard to find the right words to explain who I am and what this business means to me without writing a book, so here are the cliff notes. I am a published natural light photographer specializing in headshots, family portraits and special events since 2008. After high school, I pursued a career in the performing arts, where I gained my Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University while studying at the famed Second City Training Center in Detroit, Michigan. All the while camera in hand and hearing from friends and colleagues I have a real knack for this photography thing. It was a hobby for many years and while my career was focused as an actor, director, teacher and casting agent, I was also fascinated by my growing talent to capture images. I took several college courses and studied with the best photographers in the country taking workshops, classes and one-on-one instruction. I was hooked and pretty soon gained so much experience that it was the natural progression to move towards a career as a professional photographer.

I've been a landscape and travel photographer, with several images in magazines, books, airports, websites, etc. and then became a wedding photographer, which allowed me the honor to capture love on its best day. Since those days, I have directed my passion and focus towards combining my experience in the arts to help actors capture and brand their talents. I use my experience to put you at ease and am constantly praised for capturing the best possible headshots for your career. I take the time to collaborate with you and make sure your shoot has the variety you need and your eyes stay alive in the photo. It is very important to me that you walk away knowing you were prepared in your session and that I captured what is unique about you taking your career to the next level!

Since I was a successful business owner for several years {inquiring minds want to know? message me for details}, I know what it takes to strive towards branding yourself and your product, so I love helping business professional who are in need of capturing dynamic professional headshots for your thriving business. Not to mention, capturing the look and feel of your business to convey to your clients the transparency of you. I am really loving this right now! 

My style is a documentary approach combined with artistic flare. I shoot primarily in natural light and am in love with the warm creamy sun as your backdrop. It is from this style of my own personal photography that allows me to photograph families, high school seniors, special events and unique portraits. I am the photographer for those who value the art of photography and story telling. 

I am approachable. Fun. Professional. Open. Supportive and I always want you to be happy! Please feel free to email me with questions you have and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
