As I said on my home page, My life is my family.  I have an amazing husband and four healthy, beautiful kids. I am blessed.

 I've spent the last 16 years being a mom. My oldest is almost 16 and my youngest is almost 3. Yes, they get photographed a lot, mostly candids though.

As a child, Family Photo Day meant a day of..."Don't move!", "smile", "say cheese" type moments. I dreaded it! This is not what I do. If I have to roll around with your child to capture their moment, then I will.

In 1989, in Buffalo, N.Y. My family lost most of it's pictures in a house fire. As I started to have children of my own, I would often wonder what did I look like as a child. This rekindled my love for photography. My whole life, I'v always been the one to  grab a camera and capture a moment and capture a memory. Photography is my other passion.

I love the  idea of photography because it tells a story. It's a reminder of what was. A window to the past. I have a horrible memory when it comes to events, so I  use photography to remind me of things I would otherwise forget.

 I am personally responsible for every aspect of your portraits, from beginning to end.  This is the only way I am able to deliver to you what I see with my eyes and what I feel in my heart as the perfect outcome of who is in the portrait. 

I also create DVD's. I create DVD movies out of pictures set to music.
