As a portrait and commercial photographer in Brooklyn, NY, I've been blessed to travel around the world taking pictures. This includes circumnavigating the globe by ship. Twice.

I have a passion for people. I connect through photography and use it as a vehicle to get to know the movers, shakers and creators. I welcome my audience to stare at the people in my photos.
