Welcome!
I’m a portrait photographer serving upstate New York. I’m based in Oswego, New York so if you’ve ever visited Oswego that means beautiful sunsets, amazing HarborFest fireworks, and delicious soft ice cream from Bev’s. While I like to focus on summer points of pride, not much about the wind and snow of Oswego winters scares me. Having spent time living in Albany, Utica, Syracuse, and Rochester I’m definitely an upstate New York girl and all too familiar with the cold weather season!
I’ve loved taking photographs of people ever since I was little when my Dad gifted me my first camera. While I enjoy all photography, capturing the emotion of people and the dynamics between them have always particularly energized me. Whether its families, couples, children or even individuals I truly enjoy capturing unique and beautiful moments that will last forever.
My photography style is defined by vibrant colors, dynamic locations, and creative posing. You will always receive a healthy mix of posed images as well as candid moments where you are at your most genuine and natural! I come to you or meet you in real places and photograph not just portraits but the moments in between. You can also expect from me helpful tips before your session, a warm personality to put you at ease during your session, and a sneak peak of some of my favorite photos after your session.
