Born and raised in North Carolina, then moving to St Louis, I have been a photographer my entire career.
While in NC I learned the ropes as a photo-finisher, accepted a position at Wake Forest school of medicine as medical photographer, worked at a Los Angles based company that created one of the first online 3D shopping sites, where I was the manager of the digital studio. These experiences were extremely valuable, enabling me to hone my craft.

In 2000, I moved to St. Louis where I went to Webster University for a BA in Media Communications and Photography. I started my own business photographing weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate portraits as well as numerous assignments for various commercial clients.
I’ve learned, grown and have been shaped by all my photography experiences.
Now as an architectural photographer for real estate agents, this gives me the chance to work in an area of photography that I love. The technical aspects of photography; angles, lighting, design and beautiful architectural keep it exciting for me. Not to mention all the decorating ideas I file away for later usage.
In the last few years I have been working in the area of another one of my passions….Dogs!!!! (and other pet too). Loving every dog I meet, I feel strongly that all dogs are simply REGAL! You can feel their soul, their magnificence, their majesty and I want to capture that in a image that will last a lifetime. I have created a foundation as well, to help those with aged and terminally ill pets. You can read more on the Hope for Healing page.
