About Me

For contact & pricing PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [email protected] ONLY.
My "JOB": To bring to the eyes what my heart feels when it looks. Yet, who am I to be so pampas that I even try to capture something so big, so grand, something I think only God can truly see...yet I will try and try till my dying day knowing good and well that I will never get it 100% right. And THAT is what makes trying such a freakin' blast!!! Either way I hope my images make you stop, listen, feel and mostly smile! Thank you all so much for taking the time to look!
Someday when I am gone I want to leave behind zillions of beautiful images & I hope to come back as a song!
(below) Enjoy the view from my living room window. Fireworks over Central Park ringing in 2008! The finale was so ridiculous it looked like a bomb dropped! ..
Thanks for bearing with me. I am relocated & BACK!!!

I'm a die-hard friend and passionate self employed photographer. As cliche as this may sound, my work IS my play! I am grateful to have the luxury of doing what I love every day! -For this I thank God and good family that has always instilled a HUGE work ethic and a slap on the butt reminder that we come here owed absolutely nothing!
My dream is to hike Machu Picchu also to photograph Prince barefoot (has ANYBODY ever seen him w/out his Cuban heels?) before he puts his make-up on in the morning.
Cooking, discovering amazing music, hosting "Bring a Bottle" music night in my photo studio and conversation that inspires change- these are a few of my favorite things!...unfortunately these days my computer has been on my lap editing shoots far too much to be able to do this as much as I'd like.
(Yes, she is a bit of a workaholic, but she knows when to have her fun!!!)
Would love to tan my toes while on each and every beach in the world!
LONG LIVE THE INDIE ARTISTS!!!
PLEASE CLICK ON MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORT ALL THESE LOVELY ARTISTS INDIE AND OTHERWISE. IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR OF CLICKING ON AND LISTENING. ONLY GREAT MUSICAL TALENT- YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED...LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
Pics below are from my lens, what I see and who I love. ENJOY!

HEADSHOTS
I honestly am completely in love with my "job"! I have had the wonderful fortune of working with the lovely actors of NY for the past 14 yrs making beautiful headshots. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

My Interests

Shooting with natural, or at least available light...my version of "Shake what your Mama gave ya!"
Lately I feel like the only thing I really understand is light...and that's only because I can't control it!

Attempting to capture all that is beautiful in the world, especially the parts that don't yet know their beauty.

-Talking to anyone who is passionate about what they do.

-NYC- Live music in teenie tiny venues, hearing fingers slide across frets and the bump of a mouth against a microphone.

I'd like to meet:

Me 1 year ago...I would give her some serious insight! Also, cool people w/ interest in the arts and music who are willing to share the insanity...and PRINCE!!!
NOT dudes in tanktops w/ nothing but pornstars as their myspace friends. (You know the look, and you know who you are...Let's be rethinking the "manhood" shall we!)

Music:

yeah...whatever, I shoot Billboard Mag covers n' stuff ;)

The AMAZING Mr. LaMontagne

Movies:

WATCH LEARN!
Before The Music DiesSucker for a good Documentary! Hands On A Hard Body has the greatest 94' TX slice of life EVER! (Especially when watched w/ cousin Lisa!)
And give me some good acting and a great script and I'm a fan. - Also could never get tired of seeing Boogie Nights. If you can get the DVD and see deleted scenes Luis Guzman has a KILLER scene that should have never ever been cut!

Television:

Cesar Millan The Dog Whisperer rocks my world! (honestly...huge crush! The man has best use for testosterone I've ever seen!) In fact I don't own a dog but if you have one that is outta control can I borrow it so Cesar can come visit me?
Project Runway (except for the parts when Heidi Klum talks)
And now I am COMPLETELY HOOKED on Grey's Anatomy!

Books:

REQUIRED READING!!! If you haven't already you must READ THIS!!!

Heroes:

Brother, Mother, Sisters and Father. If you met them you'd know why.
Also anyone who keeps on a steady pursuit of their own defined happiness.
Underdogs RULE!!!
"...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

Jay Nash
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
This was written by Mother Theresa and is engraved on the wall of herhome for children in Calcutta.
