About Me

I'm a red haired girl on a mission: to take as many cool photographs as I can and attempt to do this for a living...
to see some of my photos - my site
and where I hide on flickr
About me: At the tender age of 5, I received my first tool of the trade - a tiny Kodak Instamatic, and have been hooked ever since. I consider myself lucky because my photographic world has also overlapped the cinematic as I've worked with many 16mm, Super 16mm and 35 mm motion picture cameras during my lifetime.
I love everything about photography. It is my language, my first love, my world, my entertainment, my solace, and my saving grace. Photography is my life, and what I strive for in my work is that each image will tell a story, and in each photograph, a mystery develops which waits to be solved, be it the viewer's or mine...
Oh yea, I also write...
If you're in Montreal (or if I'm in New York City), I can be contacted if you need photos for your event, portfolio, head shot or just because you want to look cool in photos...
