Introduction

We do it like no other. Why be the same? Check my site! I am a former New York City top fashion model and actress who became a professional photographer over 10 years ago. Since then, I have been featured in top magazines, ESPN, the MLB, NFL, musicians, top brands, and more. My style and aesthetic is taking over Arizona now--and I'm loving the landscape. One thing that makes me so different than the rest is I know what it's like to be on the other side of the lens for over 20 years. I am also here to help and guide you in this process. Plus, just let loose! You get the best of both worlds and some pretty unique and exceptional shots that you didn't even know you could create! I was on Thumbtack a while ago, moved, and now I am back on here and had to start a whole now account so I'm at square one but it's still an incredible ride. I have worked with all types of people from professional athletes, to new mothers, high-end brands, to the new actor who needs to update their headshot. A 20% deposit on all bookings is required to reserve your spot. Again, ask me any questions and I am happy to answer them. Thank You!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Pricing is pretty fixed but I’m willing to talk if the job is right. What a lot of people don’t realize is half the job is AFTER the shoot. I do my own retouching and editing and that in itself is a lot of work as well.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Let’s talk. You need to get to know them. Calm the fears and the worries. I get it—-you don’t do this or have never done this. Shake it off! You got this. Confidence is key—-to everything:)

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

On the job

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was a full time fashion model and actress in NYC and was so amazed at the photographers on set. I would ask them a million questions and some would even let me shoot! I would then meet my future husband who was a photographer and I never put the lens down. Soon, top agencies were asking me to photograph their models and actors. One of my biggest assets is that I’ve been a professional on both sides of the lens.

What types of customers have you worked with?

NFL; MLB; Meredith Publications; Musicians; Models; Actors; Businesses; Commercial Lifestyle; All types of brands; maternity; editorial; athletes; family; sports; portraits; profile updates; fitness and much more.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I’ve shit for many publications but the most recent one I did for Forks Over Knives was for an amazing feature on a woman who beat the odds with her health. Truly inspirational.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Hire someone who is willing to get to know you and what you want out of your shoot. Someone who has your style flavor and hype man mentality!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Where do you want to shoot? Indoors? Outdoor? Do you prefer a man or woman photographer or it doesn’t matter? Do they request a phone call? Depending on your project do they know anything about it?
