about

THE ARTIST

With over 1000 sessions under my belt, I have the experience to:

calm children

elicit playful smiles

find beautiful light

choose gorgeous session spots

create beautiful prints and books for you

I know the thought of a photo session may be stressful. But I promise that in one fun outing, we can document your beautiful family and create heirlooms for your home.

I began my professional career as a scientist, and as far from photography as it may seem, science - especially biology - does inform my practice. I earned a PhD in biological anthropology from Yale by studying chimpanzees (I trained them to pee in cups for me so I could analyze their hormone levels!). I gained at least two skills that are essential to this line of work: 1) an ability to observe and anticipate behavior, and 2) a complete imperturbability when it comes to getting peed on. And if you are going to photograph dogs and naked babies, this is not an unimportant skill! :-)

 

Photography lets my creativity fly, it introduces me to new, wonderful people daily, and it allows me the independence that I crave. I love capturing the moments for families that I miss now that my own children are older (13 and 17, already - where did the time go?). My photographs of my family are by far my most treasured possessions.

FILMS!

Did you know I also create family films? These documentary videos are set to licensed music and can be added on to any photo session. Ask for more details!
