December's got me thinking of all the dreamy summer photos I got to take last year. As second photographer, I helped lead photographer Zara Neifield capture this lovely summer wedding at the American Swedish Historical Museum. This sweet couple's day was all about spending time with friends and family-- and dancing the night away. (Seriously! I don't think the dance floor was empty for even a minute during the reception.)

Hello everyone! I've been quite busy over the fast few months with some creative portrait photoshoots, from a Hobbit picnic in Richmond, VA to a fairy garden tea party hosted in my small backyard in South Philly.

The tea party was co-hosted with Carolyn Leonard Photography. We styled all of the food and decor to create a magical summer evening event. You can see photos from the night on my blog-- I hope it helps inspire some of you!

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a TikTok video from creator Maddy Olson about a fairy tea party and thought “I need to do that.” So I texted some friends— including my frequent collaborator and fellow photographer Carolyn. Five days later we hit up Trader Joes for snacks and fresh flowers and put...

Throwing it back to 2020 with this cozy, cat filled couple shoot. Zach and Liz were newlyweds in this photo, and graciously allowed me into their home during the pandemic to take these portraits of them. The cats decided they wanted to be apart of the day, and who am I to say no? 🐱

Do I wish every session could be filled with cats? Yes, yes I do.

Happy International Women's Day! In the spirit of today, I'm celebrating my friend and portrait photography partner-in-crime, Carolyn Leonard of Carolyn Leonard Photography. She's always up for an adventure, and always pushing me to try new creative outlets. She's also always willing to dress up and wield a sword, and that's pretty badass.

Happy ! Please go check out her page and give her a follow.

Happy first day of March! This month is my birthday month, so I wanted to take a second to re-introduce myself with a birthday self portrait and 5 of my favorite non-portrait photos.

I started off doing photography as a hobby when I was in my early twenties as a way to decompress after my very stressful job in New York. When I moved to Philly, I was able to give that hobby some more life and room to breathe, taking continuing education courses at UArts, going to photography meet ups, and spending entire weekends exploring the city. During 2020, I took a virtual course on portrait photography that challenged and inspired me. (Shout out to the instructor, Daniel!) and here we are today.

That's a little bit of my photography background, but some other fun facts about me are:
- I lived in England for two years.
- I dislike peanut butter (unless it's in a sauce of some kind)
- My favorite band is , and I've seen them in concert 6 times.
- If I could eat sushi every day, I probably would.

What is a random fact about you?
