My Story

I was born in New York and moved to Florida when I was about 4 years old. I grew up walking distance to the beach, so my childhood memories were filled with the outdoors, surfing, and lots of sunshine. I had a very active, and exciting lifestyle from early on, and I always felt the need to capture every second of it. I felt blessed to live in such a beautiful town, that had so much to offer, especially pleasant on the eye.

I then travelled the world, which then lead me to living in the United Kingdom for 5 years. I photographed many weddings over there, and kickstarted my cinematography career. I found it to be so exciting to learn a different culture, however, I was excited to be able to come back to my home town, back to the beach.

I was very shy as a child, and found myself to only build confidence when I was behind a camera. I learned to work well with individuals who are confident as well as others who are like myself, and aim to make them the most comfortable and natural as possible. 

Moments became a lot more important when I became a mother, I then found myself emotionally invested into capturing those moments the way I wanted to remember them - this influenced my style.
