My passion for photography started at a young age. I can remember my Dad always using the camcorder, recording everything. I thought it was so amazing that moments were saved in that way. I loved being in front of it and couldn't wait to be behind the camera creating my moments.

As soon as I graduated from high school I started to study everything I could about photography, which included film photography. I learned to develop film and process prints in a darkroom.  My passion for photography continued, as did the advancement of cameras and the mainstreaming of digital cameras. Learning about digital photography and design helped my photography skills grow in a way I didn't realize was possible.  

I have been internationally published and I also travel internationally for my clients. I specialize in weddings, engagements, models + entertainers, children, and family photography.
​
With over 22 years as a professional photographer, my photography has evolved into a style all my own. I am versatile and love many photography styles, from warm boho to bright and contrasty. I strive to make each session unique to that person or group. My style has been described as fun, edgy, and unique. I spend most of my time in Cleveland, Florida, and Los Angeles but travel globally for my clients.
​
Teaching and mentoring others in photography is something I do regularly, as well.
