ABOUT ME
WELCOME, FRIEND
It’s great to meet you.
I’m not sure that I can tell you about a time when I wasn’t creating, or with my head in the clouds. Since I was little, art has always been my way of speaking and showing emotion. I’m a right-brainer. a libra. but also a highly intuitive introvert.
I remember my favorite parts of childhood involved visiting my grandparents’ house in Argentina, and spending hours looking through their boxes of old photos, books, and letters, and asking them to tell me stories about them. I felt like I was being transported back in time. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I ended up being a photographer.
I’ve always loved being a city girl, and the diversity and opportunities that the city brought. I studied photography in New York City at NYU and at the School of Visual Arts and I love that I have that I have my little stash of art knowledge in my backpack to carry around with me through my journey as I see the world.
Now, I live in the countryside, in rural Hunterdon County, New Jersey, where my backyard view is a field of deer grazing on corn stalks. It’s been a welcome change of pace to slow down and appreciate the calmer things in life alongside my family. Everything I do, I do it with intention, and my intentions are fueled by cultivating a spirit of kindness and unity in the world and celebrating its diversities.
Observations of life and love
I BELIEVE WEDDINGS ARE
not meant to be staged
I’m a documentary wedding photographer with roots in New Jersey, but ready for wherever destination love stories may take me. I believe real is beautiful — and that a wedding is not a performance. My work is about presence, emotion, and artfully capturing the truth of a moment.
I’ve been told I’m kind and compassionate, have a quirky sense of humor, am very organized, and can bring a calm sense of peace to a room. Maybe this sounds kind of cheesy, but when I work with people, I think of them as friends, not as clients.
I love weddings because I get to create something meaningful for someone. I don’t take for granted this responsibility, and it drives my energy throughout the day.
Your wedding day means just as much to me as it does to you.
AS SEEN IN.
LET’S TALK ABOUT
5 things I love
MY FAMILY
Being a mom, and having a family of my own, has shaped the way I see photography and the way I treasure those captured moments of my own. I know all too well how fleeting those moments are, and how important they will be for my kids in the future. For now, I enjoy it to the fullest, and family to me, is my everything.
DOGS
Well you can add to this pretty much any animal… but I am most definitely a dog person. While now only one of my fur babies is still alive, my dogs will always be a big part of me and my family, and have taught me love, compassion, and patience, in particular my one old guy, Kobe, who’s still in diapers (ask me about him, and I probably won’t shut up)… Oh, and I’m a vegetarian… also attributed to my love of animals.
TRAVEL
One of the things I grew up doing a lot of, and value a ton in my own family, is travel. We make it a point to travel to at least one new place per year. I love being exposed to new cultures and new ways of living, and stepping outside of our bubble to see what the world is like (and teaching our girls this too). I still haven’t even hit up half of the places I’d like to, but so far some of my tops have been Peru, Argentina (where I’m from), Brasil, Israel, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, and next on my bucket list is Northern Africa and Asia.
FOOD+WINE
Considering my husband works in the wine industry, it’s no surprise that I have a taste for a fine glass of wine (or whatever he feels like bringing home). One thing I’ve learned from enjoying wine and a good meal is how it all contributes to the experience of an event. I love to be taken back to memories through taste and smell, especially since my grandma was also such an amazing cook – so to get to experience it all over again when I get together with family, and eat a good “guiso” like my grandma used to make, or enjoy a glass of wine that takes me back to our trip to Italy pre-kids, that’s all priceless to me. (Remind me to tell you about the time that I got the go-ahead from my OB to drink wine to help the labor process go faster!)
CULTURE+ART
I’ve been studying art, in some way or other, since elementary school, and with a love for art that extends into college, I’m lucky to have had that background going into my photography career. I always find myself more of an artist rather than a business-person, and that’s because I truly love what I do, and that I get to use my craft not only as a profession, but as a means of expression in my everyday. Visiting museums, taking painting courses, improv classes, drawing in my journal, re-watching films just for the cinematography… all contributes to what makes this profession so rich and satisfying.
