I was gifted my first camera when I was four. It was a tiny little polaroid l-zone that printed band-aid shaped photos in the tiniest 1 inch by 1 inch frames, and I carried it everywhere with me. Scrapbook photo albums of my childhood are filled with these band-aid pictures: my first day of school, my best friend's bedroom, my little sister on the day she came home from the hospital. 

In my early teens, I fell in love with live music, and by fourteen I was spending a minimum of three nights a week out photographing concerts all throughout New York City for anyone who would hire me, from music blogs to bands to labels. I also briefly entered into the fashion world with work for Brandy Melville and American Apparel. Freshly seventeen and in my junior year of high school, I became the youngest photographer ever commissioned by Rolling Stone Magazine. Two years later, I quit.

My heart has always been tied to analog photography, and that didn't align with the live music world at the time. So I made the decision any nineteen year old would make: I sold most of my gear and got a job at a restaurant in the West Village. Thankfully, like any good thing in life, photography came calling to me again when my manager asked if I'd be willing to photograph her proposing to her (now) wife. I then went on to document their engagement session, their city hall elopement, and even shot super 8mm video at their celebration two years later. 

I've found that my unique background informs my approach to weddings: truthfully documenting every couple I meet like I would old friends, and collaborating to create photos that feel like home.
