a family, maternity, and newborn photographer based in ny/nj.

I love photos that feel warm, honest, and full of life. Instead of asking everyone to hold a perfect pose, I give gentle direction and let real moments happen.


As a mom of two, I know that children do not always follow a plan, and that is okay. I make room for movement, play, breaks, and all the little things that make your family yours. You do not need to know what to do in front of the camera. I will help you feel comfortable and find the light and places that work best for your session.


I photograph families throughout New York and New Jersey, at home or outdoors. My goal is to give you images that bring you back to how this time felt.

I'm an active member of several photography communities, where I connect with fellow photographers, exchange ideas, and continue growing in my craft. Being part of a creative community inspires me to explore new perspectives and bring fresh ideas to every session.
