... a passionate portrait photographer, stylist and artist based in New Jersey whose work dances on the edge of whimsy. My portrait experiences are my canvas, where I bring all of the skills I’ve cultivated over the years to create something magical and personalized for the person being photographed. Even it’s your first time being photographed or you’re feeling a little nervous, just remember: Your job is simply to be present. It’s my job to bring out your sparkle!
