History
Born and raised in southern Maine, I loved taking pictures of my friends, the family goats, and interesting houses with my Fisher Price 110. I enrolled in my first photography class at 17 and was hooked from then on. Since junior high I had ambitions of being a pediatrician, though early in my college career I found this path was not for me. When I announced to my parents that I was switching majors from pre-med Biology to Photography, they didn't even bat an eye. I had immersed myself in all kinds of arts since I was a toddler, so they saw this as coming back to my calling. Post-college I spent ten years in the great city of Chicago. Upon my arrival I worked for a commercial children's photographer while assisting many other photographers on their shoots. After five years I struck out on my own to shoot weddings, events, and portraits. I'm now back east in the amazing New York City, enjoying the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, continuing my portrait and wedding work.
