Your Photographer

I’m thrilled to be living my first passion…taking professional headshots of amazing people!

My initial experience behind a camera was taking headshots of performers in community theater years ago. I enjoyed working with them and making them feel proud of their images posted at theatre entrances and in playbills. There’s nothing more energizing to me than capturing one’s true personality in a photograph, especially when the image exceeds expectations. 

You may be thinking, “performers, actors, dancers, … of course they know how to pose and feel comfortable in front of a camera… right?”. Well, not always, they may be composed, but still need direction from a specialist who understands the nuances of headshot photography. As such, I will provide the level of guidance you need to look your best and I’ll capture your confidence and approachability. It’s my responsibility to ensure a successful session. You’ll be guided through what to do and how, I’ll even demonstrate it for your convenience and entertainment. You’ll know what to expect before and throughout the session…no surprises.  Whether you need headshots or portfolio images, you’ll feel comfortable and confident in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. The result will be quality images that make you look your best.

In addition to creating quality images, you’ll receive quality customer service. It’s all about you and your needs, we’ll custom tailor a session together that will be right for you. Speaking with you ahead of time is important so we can talk through the process, length of session, what to wear, what to bring, etc. “Contact Me” by pressing the blue button below. You can also call or text me at 908-616-1849.

Many clients tell me that they feel my passion for taking headshots and could tell that I truly love my job. I am extremely passionate about taking great headshots, but I do not view it as a job. I love meeting people and helping them get the great images they need.

I look forward to having the privilege of working with you and creating your unique images.
