I had the pleasure of assisting California wedding photographer, Greg Wyatt in capturing the beautiful garden wedding for Amanda and Kendall Holmes at Estate Belvedere in St. Croix, U.S.V.I. This is my first wedding since graduating from Brooks and I was ecstatic for the opportunity! I was responsible for documenting the groom and his groomsmen getting ready…the ceremony…guests interacting, […]
During my last semester at Brooks, I had the opportunity to intern with Santa Barbara Magazine which was such an incredible learning experience for me! I assisted both, a food and architectural interior spread, which was fun and I was able to work alongside food photographer, Leela Cyd Ross and editorial photographer, Lisa Romerein, both amazingly talented female photographers in their […]
My amazingly talented friend, fellow photographer, and beautiful kindred spirit, Saskia Koerner filmed and directed this short video of me! Saskia’s beauty and lifestyle work is simply gorgeous, elegant and breathtaking, but it’s her awe-inspiring fine art black & white images that speak volumes to my soul! She captured me in my essence…doing exactly what I enjoy most in this […]

I just LOVE the amazing natural light that sweeps through this space, and the spectacular chalk mural by Los Angeles artist, Elkpen, which highlights […]
As of late, I have predominantly been photographing high rise buildings, interiors and architectural details for my Architecture class. I got my first taste of the genre last semester, and realized it was perfect for me and my OCD – it requires enormous attention to detail, the process is slow and meticulous, my eyes cannot […]
I spontaneously decided to head down to Los Angeles this past weekend to scout high rise buildings for one of my architectural assignments. My dear friend and fellow photographer/videographer, Michael Nissman, kindly offered to be my tour guide (as I am not very familiar with the City of Angels) as well as my ‘behind the […]
As a photographer and artist, I am often asked the question: “What or who inspires you?” This broad question often elicits a broad response as I am inspired by a myriad of elements, but I will save that for another blog post! However, when I dig deep down inside the realms of my subconscious, I […]
The following body of work, The Traveling Lense, holds a very special place in my heart – these images facilitated my growth as a photographer…opened up the door for me to be accepted into two prestigious photography schools, Brooks Institute and the San Francisco Art Institute…was the catalyst that inspired me to be on this […]
Let me introduce myself in more detail… Born and raised on the beautiful island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, I was inspired by my father’s photo obsession at a young age. He first handed me a Polaroid camera at age 10 – gave me a quick tutorial and requested that I take an outdoor portrait of him […]
