About Me

Don't Be fooled by the location, I also work in the Upstate NY region, specifically Albany and Saratoga.

***If I sent you a friend request, its because I wanna work with you,or I dig your work,I'm not a collector or creeper***

*Also note, that I am not the person in the main profile picture at any point in time, I doubt you'd be propositioning me to pose if you knew what I look like ;o)*


I'm an ex-model turned camera junkie (aka, somewhat better than amateur, but not professional photographer.). I love people, I love making people feel beautiful, and I have stupid fingers (and therefore cannot style hair). I've always had an eye for the aesthetic, and nothing makes me happier than when I can make a client genuinely smile.

A few rules with working with me:

1.) You must be willing to laugh.
2.) You must be willing to take the risk of looking absurd
3.) TRY to have fun
4.) You are absolutely allowed to bring someone with you to the shoot, provided that they aren't going to interfere with my work.



As far as subjects that I won't shoot? They are as follows:

1.) Pornography. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be taking any pictures of EITHER gender touching themselves or a partner in a naked, obviously sexual way. Love, sexuality, and the human body are beautiful things, but the pictures I take won't be if one or the other of us is not comfortable.

2.) As far as nudes go, I'm gonna have to make the end call. If I feel something is too explicit, I'm not going to shoot it. Period. Sometimes, less is more (and I'm not talking clothes here people)

3.) Fetish has its place in the art world, but I personally don't shoot it. Nothing against it, just don't have the heart/eye. I WILL shoot Darker themed portraits, gothic subject matter, that sort of stuff.

-Long story short, if you would like to take your shoot someplace sexy, clear it with me so I can tell you whether or not I can accommodate what you are looking for.


I have tons of references that can be easily furnished at any time. I'm a female photographer who is very sensitive to posing, your insecurities, and how comfortable you are in a shoot. I know how intimidating it can be in front of a camera, I've been there myself several times. I will never push you to pose in a way that compromises your integrity, I will do my best to make sure you always look your thinnest, and I will make sure that your kids have a great time as well! I am committed to YOU!


I'm sorry ladies and gents, but I don't pay models, unless you're cindy crawford or dita von teese. And then I couldn't afford you.

As far as rates go, lets leave it like this.
-If I ask to work with you, its free.

-If you ask to work with me, and its an amazing idea that I love, which I can also use for my portfolio, its free.

-If you ask to work with me, and I can use the pics to promote myself, its crazy cheap.

-If you ask to work with me, and I cannot use the pics in self promotion, then its still not very expensive.

I like to meet with my clients before I determine a price for my work, so I don't over charge them. I'm a reasonable woman, make me your best offer and we'll move from there!

Makeup artist available on certain dates. Please inquire if interested in professional makeup.

I also apply makeup for a small kit fee (not as well as the MUA, but better than the average bear)

Thank you for checking out my page. I look forward to meeting with you, and making beautiful memories.
