About
I am fortunate to have my own secluded beach in my backyard! I can shoot intimate photos of couples, boudoir, families and amazing sunsets.
I am currently the House Photographer for DelVino Vineyards in Northport. I am an expert on the landscape of the vineyard and am able to give my clients the feel of Tuscany as they enjoy some wine and rolling hills as we are shooting.
I love meeting new people and capturing their moment in time for them!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Phone call, Personal consultation to discuss their individual needs and to plan the best possible shoot!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Years of experience and numerous photography courses offered by Nikon.
How did you get started in this business?
I love nature and being outdoors, and living on the LI Sound afforded me wonderful opportunities to photograph nature and people on my private beach. I eventually bought more and more equipment and started taking photography courses. I became a band photographer, then worked for Rockdiva News and PopImpressKA Journal. Currently I am the house photographer for DelVino Vineyards, a north-shore vineyard which is opening up this summer.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Over the years I have worked with families, friends, children, couples, bridal parties, sweet 16's, models, bands, Rockdiva News covering Buckcherry, Heart and other performances at The Paramount in Huntington, as well as a Manhattan based Journal shooting gala events and having one of my photos featured on the cover of the PopImpressKa Journal in 2013.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my favorite shoots was taken at my home with the Arden Sister models. We used Olga Papkovitch's beautiful paintings as a backdrop and the models wore clothing designed by Olga. After shooting in the house, we took the 4 sisters down to the beach and had them pose with their musical instruments wearing the most brightly colored hand-made outfits designed by Olga.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I think the best thing to do is to talk to former clients.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
They should know where and when they need the photos taken by, what type of photo shoot they are interested in, their budget, how long the photo shoot will take that day, and how quickly do they need the photos back.
