I am a mom to three and Lucy, our lovable, black Labrador Retriever. My husband’s job brought us to beautiful and picturesque Stonington, CT about six years ago. After twenty years of moving around, we are lucky to call this place home. We are fortunate to live in between two quaint seaside towns. We have boutiques, coffee houses, wine bars, bakeries, beaches, boating, and the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Most important, I’m pretty sure we have the BEST seafood on the coast, and some of the best food in the country!!

I am a landscape and family portrait photographer. I feel so alive when I am outside shooting sunrises, sunsets, oceans, skies, and the mountains. When working with people, I strive to capture connections, and real, honest, authentic moments- a storyteller with a creative soul. My goal is to make things as comfortable and easy going as possible for you and your family. I want you to walk away with beautiful photos to display in your home and feel the experience was worth the investment.

When I’m not photographing our lives, the great outdoors, and editing photos, I am in the kitchen cooking and baking, driving to and from the endless hours of swim practice for our kids (which I wouldn't t have any other way), or planning our next family adventure.

My Gear: Canon 6D, Sigma 35 mm, Canon 135 L, Canon 24-70 L, Canon 85 mm, Lensbaby Edge 80
