My goal is to always offer a headshot photography experience that's warm and welcoming to absolutely everyone, no matter what sensory sensitivities or physical abilities my clients might have.

In this Blog post, I will be sharing the design choices I've made in order to create a sensory-friendly and accessible Studio, so you know you're in a space that prioritizes your comfort at every step.

It has been almost 5 years since I signed the lease on my photography Studio in Greenwich, and while I absolutely love being in that space and adore all of my local Riverside clients, I had to make the decision to move…

I believe that every business should be fluid. And if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we should be willing to change and adjust based on the circumstances that are given. I’ve always been a big proponent of evaluating the services that are offered and figuring out how to best serve my clients…

Every year, I like to do a “Year in Review” Blog post to share some of the learnings from the year.. and 2020 is no different.

I don’t believe you should ever sell something that you don’t actually use yourself. Personally speaking, photography is not only important in my life for my profession, but it’s also front and center in my own home. Now, that doesn’t mean that my house is covered in photographs from top to bottom…

When it comes to my photography, keeping things simple means that certain elements become more important than one would expect. Things like color, for instance, can either enhance the portrait or become too distracting…
