Interesting Fact


I Love the Lord of The Rings series. I even have a LOTR tattoo on my forearm. When people ask me about it, I get super excited!

I'm a Boston-based photographer specializing in storytelling through images, particularly capturing weddings and love stories across the country and around the world. My work is all about authenticity-turning real, raw moments into bold, timeless pieces of art. I believe that every couple's story is unique, and I work closely with my clients to ensure that their images reflect their true emotions and connection. Each photo I capture is handpicked, carefully curated, and crafted to tell a real love story that resonates. What I'm most proud of is that my "why" has never wavered, even after years in business and working in an industry that's often swayed by trends and fads. I've always stayed committed to creating work that is timeless, not something that will be out of style in a few years.

What truly sets me apart, though, is my personality and the way it integrates into both my work and my business. Clients often tell me that I make them feel completely at ease, almost as if we've been friends for years. This comfort is so important because it allows my clients to be themselves, and when they're comfortable, that's when the magic happens. The moments I capture are never forced-they're real and authentic. I believe that creating a safe, relaxed space for my clients is key to making them feel confident and beautiful, and ultimately, that's what results in photos that genuinely reflect who they are. That connection and trust is what makes my work stand out, and it's something I'm incredibly proud of.


My artistic journey began early in my childhood, as I was raised between two diverse worlds— half in America and half in Europe. Growing up in such a rich cultural environment exposed me to a wide variety of art forms and perspectives, sparking my passion for creativity and visual storytelling. I was deeply influenced by the art and history around me, and it was during these formative years that my love for photography began to take shape. At 15, my father gifted me my first camera, which became a tool for me to capture the world around me and explore my growing artistic voice. Throughout high school, I entered art programs and competitions, which further fueled my desire to pursue a career in the arts. After high school, l attended Chester College of New England, a small but inspiring art school nestled in the hills of New Hampshire. It was there that I refined my skills and found my artistic direction. Since graduating, I've had the privilege of traveling across the U.S. and around the world, always seeking new experiences and inspiration to hone my craft. My focus has evolved into capturing love in its many forms, using photography as a way to document human connection and emotion. Each new place and encounter continues to shape my work, and I remain passionate about telling stories through the lens of my camera.
