I have always been fascinated by the creative process of Photography.

Twenty years working as a Professional Model brought me to locations around the globe, including Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Brussels, and many cities in the US and South America – shooting with many talented photographers – and some of the greatest designers in the world, including Oscar De La Renta, Carolina Herrera, Badley Mischka, Tadashi Shoji, just to name a few.

These wonderful experiences helped fuel my passion and curiosity, and propelled me into the second phase of my career – behind the camera.

I started a family, relocated to the Hudson Valley area of New York, and focused on building my skills – and setting up my studio.

Now I specialize in portraits, family photos, couples, headshots, maternity photos and more… and I look forward to more exploration – through the lens.
