ABOUT ME
You feel it don’t you? How fast the time goes. I sure do…With my kids at ages 18, 13 and 11, it blows my mind. The days can be so long but the years really are short. With photography, we can grab on to those moments we don’t want to forget. At age 14, my mom handed me a Canon and I have been shooting ever since. I can still remember spending hours in the darkroom in college when film was our only medium. Now the beauty of digital gives us that instant gratification. Photography is actually a second career for me. I have a Doctorate in Chiropractic and spent almost 10 years helping patients with their pain. Photography, however has always been my passion. It grew ten fold as my kids were born and now I’m so grateful to get to document moments for others. While my husband and I now call DC home, I grew up in New York in a musical family! Dance was a huge part of my life and helped shaped the artist I am today.
PARENTHOOD
—
I am a loss mom. Why am I telling you? My first daughter passed on the day she was born and it changed me forever. It has made me compassionate and strong and more present and I have met so many others who have gone through similar experiences. I wouldn’t have the family I have today if it wasn’t for her. I am also an adoptive mom. Our 11 year old was adopted from Korea and I am not sure what I did to deserve such a gift. She is absolute sunshine. The boys… one in high school, one in college. The teenage years are equal parts terrifying and amazing and just as important to document as the newborn years. Blink and they will be moving out.
MY OTHER LOVES
—
I can’t live without my Nespresso machine and I never leave the house without lipstick.
My ability to retain 80’s music trivia is ridiculous.
Travel is everything to me. I’ll go anywhere.
Spending time on the beach in The Outer Banks is probably my favorite thing ever...With the camera of course!
