A little about me....
Why Me?

Beautiful photographs begin with trust.
Choosing a photographer is about more than finding someone with a nice camera. You want someone who can help you feel comfortable, guide you through the entire process, and consistently create images you'll treasure for a lifetime.
That's why I've dedicated myself to mastering both the art and technical side of photography. As one of only a few Certified Professional Photographers (CPP) and Click Pro Elite photographers in NH, I'm committed to providing an exceptional experience from our first conversation to your final gallery!
I've always believed the most meaningful work is centered around people. Before becoming a professional photographer, I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy from Utica University and spent more than 20 years working with children and their families. That experience taught me how to connect with people, earn trust, and appreciate the beauty in every stage of life.
After moving to New Hampshire in 2007, what began as photographing my son's hockey games quickly grew into a passion for creating meaningful portraits. Today, whether I'm photographing a family, high school senior, athlete, or beloved pet (yes—I have a soft spot for dogs!), my goal is always the same: to create authentic images that not only look beautiful but also tell your story and make you feel something for years to come.
what to expect
Every family, senior and athlete receives a personalized questionnaire so I can get to know you, understand your vision, and create a session that's uniquely yours. I'll help you choose the perfect location, provide style and location guides, and even scout new locations if you're looking for something different. My goal is for you to arrive feeling confident, prepared, and excited....not wondering what's next.
During your session, I'll guide you naturally every step of the way so nothing feels awkward or forced. My background as an occupational therapist taught me patience, empathy, and how to help people feel at ease—qualities that have become just as valuable behind the camera. And if we're out on a chilly New England afternoon, don't be surprised if I show up with hot chocolate to keep everyone smiling!
When your gallery is ready, my job isn't finished. I offer professional printing, heirloom albums, and custom-framed artwork to help you enjoy your photographs for years to come. From our first conversation to the finished artwork on your walls, I'm committed to making every step of the experience personal, seamless, and enjoyable.
