Well, Hello there! Welcome! No one is more excited you found me than me, so let me tell you a little about who i am and why capturing your story means so much to me.

I grew up in small town Hope, NJ the oldest of three in the mix of both mom and dads abundantly large and loving families. For as long as I can remember I have been on the go, and always already onto what's next. I specifically remember the exact moment (I was 27 years old) when I realized the entire world does not live in a "New York Minute" and to this day "Island Time" drives me bananas, but I like to think that I have found a pretty good balance of the two.

Unlike many I never had a "when you grow up" or a specific career aspiration. This landed me in and out of college with more majors than I can count, and around the country primarily working in hospitality. What part? Well, all of it; from the front to the back, the early mornings to the late nights, the fine dining to the dive bars, and from New York City to a decade in Hawaii. I have met people from every walk of life, and shared in so many amazing experiences in my travels around the world. Too many, in fact, to remember; hence, my love for pictures. Which to me, bring back memories of a times, places and people that have been a part of the path that led me here to you today.

The most important thing in the world to me is my family. My husband is a saint for putting up with me still and always diving headfirst into what's next after what's next and before what's next is even next, and always supporting my dreams. My parents are saints for putting up with me through the years of travel and finding my way until I found him. My brothers are great men who married amazing women who i cant believe let me plan their days off for so many years (and counting). And my nieces and nephews are just the most incredible little ones who I am so lucky and honored to watch grow into their own people.

All this being said, time passes before we realize its gone and even in a world of cell phones and cameras in our pockets there is something to be said about the picture that no one is behind the camera in, thats captured and framed that may have otherwise been lost in time. These moments don't ever come back. It took me a lot of years, a lot of lessons, and a lot of different paths to land me here today.

Today, I want to create an experience for you and yours that holds on and will speak to generations to come. In time i have some big plans, completely original to my dreams (because that's what's next). And, today, I hope you'll allow us to begin a relationship that we can build upon as I build this true genuine passion of mine into an experience like no other that you won't be able to wait to come back to again and again (...next...).

So, LET'S GO! .
