For over a decade, I have been a professional photographer in my favorite medium of traditional film. While digital cameras are wonderful tools that I use often, they still can’t capture people and light with the same magic of old fashioned film.

While I can see in my work how film imparts an unmatched warmth and timelessness, I know that the roots of my love for the medium all go back to my family. I grew up in a family of amateur and professional artists and musicians, and my grandfather was a passionate Leica camera collector, so discussions about cameras were a routine topic around the house and at every holiday meal. I still use some of his cameras today.

Photography became an avocation at a young age and after earning my Arts degree from George Mason University, I began my professional career in Washington D.C. in 2010. Today I photograph family portraits, as well as commercial work for small creative businesses in Mendham, NJ and the surrounding areas.

When I’m not attached to my favorite camera, a 1960 Rolleiflex (whose signature square images predate Instagram by a good five decades), I’m spending time with my husband and two young boys or I’m out in my garden (a newly realized hobby). As a family we also enjoy attending classic car events up and down the East Coast and spending time at the beach, particularly Nantucket Island.
