I was born and raised in Albany, New York and service my hometown & additional surrounding areas for all your family & wedding photography needs.
I make a mean buffalo chicken dip (ask me for my recipe!), I'm terrified of outer space, love lots of color, football (GO BILLS!), & all types of LOOOVE. I have been photographing families and weddings for over seven years, and it really is my true bread & butter.
When I'm not running around photographing, you can find me chugging coffee, messing around with a new creative project, or snuggling with my husband Vincent and our cuddly fur baby, Minnie (a beagle mutt).
Other important things to know:
- I am 1 of 5 siblings (aka chaos = the norm)
- I am the biggest, sappiest, hopeless romantic (& will never be afraid or embarrassed to admit it!)
I grew up on the best street EVER and after not living home for nearly 8 years, I am back on the same block. And now we live exactly 9 (!) houses away from my childhood home.
We've had our sweet Minnie for 10+ years, and you'll see her a lot around here (she's just too cute not to photograph all day long!). Consider her my unofficial mascot!
We've been together for 17+ years. We got married at 27 years old in 2018. Our wedding was the main reason I got in to wedding photography in the first place!
