I am more than just a wedding photographer; I am a storyteller, a cheerleader and I am here to help bring your vision to life. My lens captures all of our incredible traditions. From the intense emotion during your first look to the intimate glances under the chuppah, all the way to the epicness of your dance floor, my heart, soul and camera will capture it all. 

Beyond weddings, I love embracing the chaos of family portraits, cherish the sweetness of newborn sessions and photograph the personalities of our furry friends. If you have a story, I want to help share it!

Engagement sessions are an integral part of the wedding journey. Not only does it give my couples a chance to connect with me and get a feel for my style and approach, it also gives me the chance to get to know them, see how they work and what they like. I design these sessions to be relaxed and fun, more like spending time with a friend than a formal photo session. This laid-back experience helps couples feel at ease in front of the camera, melting away any jitters. It also allows me to capture genuine, heartfelt moments that truly reflect their personalities and connection. The result? A beautiful collection of photos that sets the perfect tone for their wedding day.

 It all started with a deep love of the Jewish culture, the passion to celebrate as much as possible and the A-HA moment that drove me to create a life full of meaningful moments, incredible people,  and TONS and TONS of dancing!

The moment I picked up the camera, it felt like magic. Everything clicked. What began as a whim became my happily ever after.
