Westport family photographer

This is home. And I've been photographing it for 25 years.

Westport is where I built my life and my practice. I know the light at Compo late in the afternoon. I know the way Old Mill beach looks in October. I know how fast those school years go – because I watched my own children move through them while I was documenting the same years for families all over this town.

Every chapter. All of it worth preserving.

I started photographing families when I was raising my own. Young kids, a full house, the years that feel endless until suddenly they're not – I was living it at the same time I was documenting it for other people. That shared experience gave me something more important than my technical training: I understand what this time feels like from the inside.

Over 25 years, my practice has grown the way families do. The couples I photographed with newborns have teenagers now. The families I met a decade ago are starting to gather as extended families – cousins and grandparents and in-laws arriving from three states for a long weekend at the beach house. I've been there for all of it, and I hope to be there for what comes next.

The Art of Your Life isn't just a tagline, it's a description of what I actually do.

Young Families

The years that go too fast. At home, at the beach, in the backyard – wherever your family is most itself. Newborns, toddler chaos, the elementary school years you'll want to remember forever. I'll be there.

Extended Families and Reunions

The gathering that only happens once in a while – three generations around one table, cousins finally old enough to really play together, grandparents who can't stop looking at everyone. I specialize in these sessions because I believe they're the most important photographs a family will ever make. They're also the ones people tell me, years later, they're most grateful for.

Celebrations

The important events that deserve more than a phone photo. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirement dinners, Fourth of July at the family house. Every celebration is performance art – you set the stage, and I capture everything that makes it meaningful.

New Beginnings

Small ceremonies. Second weddings. And the quiet moments that surround them. I bring the same sensitivity I bring to every session – to feel the story that’s unfolding and document it so you have it for years to come. 

Personal Branding

You've built something, or you're building it. Maybe you're launching something new, stepping back into the workforce, or putting a cause out into the world. I love this work because it changes people. The images you put into the world may be the first and only way your real audience sees you. I'll make sure they see you clearly.

25 years of showing up with a camera.

I've been photographing people in Fairfield County and beyond since 2001. My work has appeared in the New York Times, Greenwich Magazine, and Westport Magazine, as well as in corporate publications and reports for organizations including the Mt. Sinai Children's Environmental Health Center, Adam J. Lewis Academy, and A Better Chance of Westport.

For years I had the privilege of photographing the work of agencies supported by Near and Far Aid – and I'm an active supporter of nonprofits and causes across Westport and Fairfield County. That work earned me recognition as one of Westport's Unsung Heroes, which remains one of the things I'm most proud of.

My photographs are in private collections around the world. The ones I think about most are hanging in the homes of families I've been photographing for two decades.

Before all of this, I was an oncology nurse. That background has never left me. It lives in every session – the ability to see the story,  to meet people where they are, to bring out something real.
