Let's Connect
I'm excited to hear your story and create something meaningful together.
As both a therapist and photographer, I see beyond the surface to capture your authentic narrative. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply want to preserve this moment in time, I'm here to bring the vision to life.
What Sets Me Apart
The Therapeutic Eye: My background as a mental health professional means I notice the truly authentic moments—the way your eyes light up when you laugh, the gentle touch of your partner's hand. These aren't just photos — they're frozen moments in time.
Pittsburgh Native: I know plenty of hidden gems in our city, from secret overlooks in Schenley Park to perfect golden hour spots on the North Shore. If you know of a scenic location that I haven’t been to yet, that’s even better!
Adventure-Ready: Spontaneous ideas welcome. Want to hike to that waterfall for your engagement session? My camera(s) and I are always up for it.
Natural Comfort: I create a relaxed and collaborative environment where your most authentic self is fully encouraged to shine through—no awkward poses, just realness.
