about me

Like many, my love of photography began years ago as a creative outlet while performing. In between shows, gigs, auditions and classes, I would experiment with different lenses, lighting and subjects. It wasn't long before I discovered the power of a photo that truly captures people at their best while helping them in their own careers. My passion became a driving force and turned quickly into a successful business.   

As a NYC based headshot photographer, I have the great joy of getting to meet and collaborate with so many talented artists, and it’s one of my favorite aspects of my job. Coming from a professional performing background, I know how important marketing yourself wisely is, and how much of a difference it can make in your success. A good headshot not only makes you look great, but it captures who you really are and is ENGAGING! This is the moment that I strive to get out of my clients on every shoot.  My #1 goal is to discover the aspect of each person that makes Casting, Directors & Producers scream "I want to get to know them!”

Beyond photography, I’m an award-winning Director of Photography, as well as an original co-founder of www.ontherocksfilms.com, where I currently serving as the Creative Director and resident Director of Photography.  Recently, I was honored with three Best Cinematography Awards for my work the feature length documentary, UPROOTED: The Journey of Jazz Dance (HBO Max), FREE (AMAZON PRIME) & the On The Rocks Films original short, DIVIDENDS.

I still remain active in the professional theatrical community as member of AEA and currently direct and choreograph for productions around the Country. I look forward to meeting you and guiding you towards a personally unique and captivating image...while having a lot of fun in the process!
