ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
My purpose is to love and be creative
I took some detours before realizing my true calling in wedding photography. After spending 7 years working in non-profit organizations focused on immigration and child protective services, I recognized my love for connecting with people. Being a natural empath, I was always curious about others and their stories.
I also got a chance to explore the wedding industry with an event company in Brooklyn, NY in the preface of my social work years. I was able to photograph 30+ weddings during that time. Eventually, I decided to pursue a bachelor's degree and temporarily put photography on hold. But, I always gravitated back to it whenever I needed a creative outlet.
I didn’t believe wedding photography was “serious enough” to do as a career. But finally taking a leap of faith, I am certain that the amount of love, pride and happiness I feel is not a coincidence. I am put on this earth to love, be loved and photograph love.
It’s about the raw moment now and reliving it later
In the 11 years of my photography experience,
I have yet to leave any session thinking “wow, these people were so awkward on camera”.
That’s because I make it my mission to make sure, we break that ice and have fun- you’ll forget all about the pressure you were thinking about before the session.
I will lightly guide you into movements & poses that feel natural and true to your love. I will never ask you to a fake laugh to get “real” smiles. Genuine moments is what I’m about.
What’s next?
Let’s set up a video call! I’m super excited to meet you and hear all about your upcoming plans. During the call we will go over the when and where.
I am a planner kind of gal - so let me help you-help me -help you by discussing timelines and suggestions to make your day seamless.
