Make Your Trip Last a Lifetime
Whether you're planning a bar mitzvah trip to Israel, a family Safari in Africa, a destination wedding, or a much-needed getaway, there's no doubt you're putting in countless hours of hard work to create the ultimate experience for your loved ones. From flights to hotels to day to day adventures, you've thought of every detail to make this trip perfect. Creating these memories is so special, and when you return home, it's all anyone can talk about for weeks! My job is to capture these moments for you to look back on and cherish forever. As a destination photographer, I create custom packages catered to your every need and photograph the most special moments of your trip or event, so all you need to do is be yourself and enjoy!
From early in my photography career, I focused on capturing love, mainly photographing couples, families, and bridal events, striving to freeze effortless moments of affection. I have a love for creating an editorial experience and really want to make each shoot as unique and special as possible, curating the locations and styling down to the small details. I was always searching for new gorgeous locations and knew I had to combine my love for travel with my passion for photography, and so I began taking my subjects with me on my adventures.
It started to come to life with a crazy idea to take a couple to New Orleans, Louisiana for the “Dream Session” photoshoot of a lifetime. We explored the streets of the French Quarter, ate beignets by the riverfront and danced our way through jazz-filled streets, capturing it all as we went along. I have continued this idea of Dream Sessions and went on to explore the gorgeous Martha's Vineyard with a family of four, interacting with the landscape while enjoying the island and even photographing a proposal in the bright and colorful Charleston, South Carolina.
There’s a genuine emotion that emerges when we're making discoveries and experiencing new places that make for such honest, effortless, and beautiful photographs. I continued looking for ways to capture travel experiences and went to Aruba during winter break to photograph family and couple sessions, scouting the island for new and unique spots and styling each session to blend seamlessly. From there, I started booking packages for destination events, capturing moments including bat mitzvah trips to Los Angeles, bar mitzvahs in Israel, and destination weddings in Florida.
To push myself and my work to the next level, I spent four action-packed days photographing the most gorgeous editorial Dream Session in Iceland. We explored the out of this world landscapes of Black Sand Beach, Katla Ice Cave, Diamond Beach, and the Blue Lagoon creating memories that will last forever in the photographs we were able to create. I'm continually looking for new places to take my Dream Sessions and feel so fortunate to have explored places like the hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque, the unbelievable sand dunes of White Sands National Monument, and the magical mossy trees of Olympic National Park that look straight out of a fairytale, all while calling it work. I am so thankful for the community for supporting my journey and giving me the opportunity to turn what I love into a career. I hope to capture countless more adventures and occasions. The next time you’re planning a trip, think about what you’re going to be bringing home- memories of your journey that will stay with you forever and photographs that will last a lifetime!
