New York City and Hudson Valley based photographer specializing in portraits and headshots

I create honest, storytelling images for corporate and editorial clients, businesses of all sizes, and personal branding.
With an eye for relationships and community, I bring a unique sensibility to my work.
My grandmother was one of my earliest influences. She was an artist and activist who taught me about aesthetic and creative process at a young age. Born on 11-11-11, she continues to inspire me.
After earning degrees in sociology and criminal justice, I spent ten years as a federal probation officer. Empowered by an overwhelming sense that I needed to turn a lifelong passion into a career, I became a professional photographer and never looked back. Photography has provided me with an avenue for creative storytelling and a powerful tool for capturing emotion.
As an advocate for diversity and inclusion and a visible member of the LGBTQ and allied business community, I feel passionately about human rights and social justice.
I love to travel and collect new experiences. I can also be found in the yoga studio, practicing Qigong, studying metaphysics, or creating abstract paintings. I never miss an opportunity to challenge the status quo.
ThreeTwelve Media is a company I co-own with my brilliant husband and partner, Josh.
