Influenced By Fashion & NYC
My journey being influenced by NYC starting in 1996, at the beginning of my career as a hairstylist. I worked for Redken as a hair color educator, and worked “behind the scenes” at shows and large events.
Eventually, I became the Artist that was know to always have my camera handy for “The Behind The Scenes”. I did that for close to 10 years.
High Fashion (Behind The Scenes)
In 2009, I was introduced to High Fashion photographer Ron Contarsy.
I was first assisting him, and then he wanted to know if I did nails/manicuring? To date, I have work on countless NYC shoots.
The planning that it takes to create beautiful shoots, involves much creativity and an immense attention to detail(s).

A little about me….
You will find that I am very artistic and love what I do. I love humor, laughing and working with people.
My favorite movies:
- Devil Wears Prada
- Matrix
- Adam Sandler Movies
You will find that I have an apetite for education, and will probably get caught making people laugh.
If you are looking for a stuffy & pretentious photographer….you are on the wrong website.
(I hope I just made you laugh)
My love of photography began in a darkroom, in 2001. Digital photography has taken over, these days, but I will always have fond memories of watching a print come to life in the darkroom trays.
Life can get so busy, and the fascinating thing about photography, is that a camera can actually stop time.
I am very fortunate to be an eclectic published artist, hairstylist of 24 years & going, and an entrepreneur. Creativity lends itself to many avenues.
My style of photography is:
- Artistic
- Detail Oriented
- Lifestyle & Events
My work has been published for photographing “behind the scenes” at Fashion Week, to providing commercial headshots for employees of Redken/Loreal USA for advertising.
