Having a background in Art History enables me to take a unique approach to creating portraits. While earning a BA at Tufts University and an MA at The George Washington University, I spent six years studying all mediums of art, from every period. My experience analyzing these images-the history, genres, subjects, light, color and composition, is something that I bring to every portrait I create.

Through Professional Photographers of America, I have earned two degrees as well as certification. The Master of Photography degree is awarded in recognition of superior photographic competence demonstrated through photographic competition. The Photographic Craftsman degree, is the highest recognition for speaking, writing and/or mentoring in photography. And finally, the Certified Professional Photographer designation, which was the result of rigorous requirements measuring both artistic and technical competence.

I utilize this knowledge, along with my love of working with children, to fully explore the inner “joy of life” that makes each child so wonderful and unique. Known for my patience and connection with children, my goal is to make sessions fun so that memories are created alongside the portraits. By incorporating my art background, I craft images that capture important moments in a purposeful and artistic way. Every image is then hand processed to accentuate all of the fine details that comprise a memorable fine art portrait.

As a Columbus Ohio Photographer I serve the metropolitan area including but not limited to New Albany, Bexley, Dublin, Gahanna, Westerville and Upper Arlington.
