Fun facts

I’m a bubbly NYC based creative running around with a million bags, an iced coffee or matcha in hand, dancing my way through the city. I’m naturally very calm and patient, and have a special way of making sure everyone is comfortable and confident in front of my camera.

I always want to be as creative as I can be and only do the things that bring me joy. From my childhood love of drawing to dancing competitively for 10+ years, art has really shaped me into who I am today.

I am a completely self taught photographer. I started my journey in 2015 having photoshoots with my roommate in our NYC college dorm room while studying Arts + Entertainment Management and Digital Design. From there, my passion for creating and watching things come to life led me to pursue photography full-time in 2019.
