I have an amazing energetic little girl, and a darling hubby. We live in the suburbs of Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington DC. I’m a bit of a geek and can often be found behind my computer. I love nature, especially the beach, but also have an inner Jersey girl in me that comes out in odd ways.
Chocolate, red wine, good beer, pasta of any type… I could live on these foods alone. I love road trips, big cities, and small funky towns. I have driven cross country four times, with trips ranging from five days to two months.
I grew up in New Jersey, just outside NYC. After a couple years of art school in the city, I moved 90 miles north to a small town in the Hudson Valley, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts photography. Little did I know I would spend almost ten years of my life in the small town of New Paltz. Eventually I found my way out west, where I met my hubby. In early 2011, we relocated back east for my husband’s job.
Why am I a photographer? Because it’s part of who I am. I can’t really answer it better. I remember watching the images come to life in the dark room trays years ago, eating sandwiches surrounded by the smell of photo chemicals because I could not pull myself away long enough. When I was a little kid, I would look at my grandmother’s photo album and love seeing the old family memories. Telling stories, documenting our time, and having something to pass on for generations… this is why I believe in photography.
Below are some of my personal posts from over the last few years, to give you a little more insight into who I am.
