Bio
PHOTOGRAPHY • BRANDED CONTENT • DOCUMENTARY FILM • CONSULTING
New York City born. Texas raised. Philadelphia converted and settled.
I've seen the impact of visual storytelling as a photojournalist and an entrepreneur. My passion has been validated by the measurable impact of my work in social and financial terms. In addition to being a photojournalist, commercial and advertising photographer, I am also a founder and board member of Tideline Marine Group, San Francisco Bay's premier and most innovative ferry service. These combined experiences give me relevant insight into appreciating a client's priorities for managing projects efficiently and producing work with the greatest impact. I apply the principles of design thinking into my process of visual problem solving to arrive at thoughtful, creative and on-message images.
Right Brain. evocative. spontaneous. genuine. impactful.
An oversized passion for authentic images that create connections to people, places and things.
Left Brain. collaborative. focused. relevant. strategic.
A this ain't no party, this ain't no disco attitude for the serious role that visual content holds for clients that ensures expectations are exceeded and strategic goals are met.
Do Love. Caroline, Ari and Margot. Anything made with heart and soul. Time on a bike or in a tent. Innovation. Problem Solving.
Don't Love. Serious Roller Coasters (I'll do the kiddie ones). Too much order. Wasting time. Disrespect.

What They Say.
WOW! We are so impressed and want to hire you for every client :)))) You nailed it in every way: the people, the place, the fresh attitude.
– Amy Levi, President/Creative Director. STRADA
This brand has life because of your photography.
– Katie Mae Ward, Senior Account Manager. STRADA
You were able to capture a great assortment of seriousness and lightheartedness, which speaks directly to who they are and what we hope to represent through their new branding and website. Other law firms in their space (and beyond) are going to be envious when they see this photography.
– Taylor Wenner, Art Director. BRIAN COMMUNICATIONS
Your photography went such a long way in telling this very sensitive, compassionate story about what it means to be a social worker, and particularly what it means to be a social worker who is educated at Bryn Mawr College's Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. It was a pleasure for Kismet Communications to partner with you.
– Rachel Beanland, APR, Principal. KISMET COMMUNICATIONS
I want to thank you for going the extra mile to capture the small town feel. Most photographers would have blown it off when circumstances did not present themselves.
– Jean Herr, Photography Editor, PACE Communications for Verizon Mobile
