Photography to me is being able to freeze time in a moment you want to remember forever. Growing up my mother always had one of those disposable film cameras in hand. She took countless photos of every moment in our lives and now I have the privilege of being able to look through those images and remember the amazing time I've had growing up. Having this opportunity has taught me that every moment is to be cherished and that photography is what I want to pursue. Being able to attend New Hampshire Institute of Art has helped my mind expand on creativity. Starting off at the very beginning and learning Film photography and the darkroom process all the way up to learning how to start our own business. Four years later I graduated college with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography.

My passion for Photography has grown with every shoot I do, whether its a Wedding or a family portrait session. My style of photography is to capture the little moments which develop your story. My images are honest, intimate and original.

My Favorite thing to capture is the second after my couples pull away from their first kiss. That right there is the most genuine smile and the purest, happiest moment.
