About Me

I am a Philadelphia photographer with over 13 years of professional experience, specializing in headshots and branding photography for corporations, entrepreneurs, small businesses, professionals, actors, creatives, medical students, and all makers, shakers, and do-ers.

Before I was behind the camera, I spent years working as an actor. Why does that matter for your headshot? Because I know exactly how vulnerable it can feel to step in front of a lens. My background in acting is my secret weapon for your session - it allows me to direct you with precision, coaching your micro-expressions and body language. You will never be left wondering, "What do I do with my hands?" or "Does this smile look natural?" I will guide you every step of the way to ensure you look confident, approachable, and authentic.

More than just someone with a camera, I'm a good listener, an encourager, an energizer, your personal hype man, and a guide. You can relax knowing you are in the hands of a professional who knows exactly how to make you look your best.

I've deliberately created a space where you can feel safe and secure having your photograph taken. When you're relaxed, your true confidence shines through.

My goal is to create a series of images that help take your company's brand to the next level, visually engaging visitors so you become their absolute number one choice. Let's make sure your online presence and first impression are nothing short of exceptional.

I have established systems to make taking headshots for your company efficiently and completely hands-off for you and your business. Individuals will automatically be sent individual proof galleries immediately after being photographed or will select their images on-site. They will then be delivered directly to the employee, and you will receive a master download link as well. Easy.

Whether you have never had a headshot taken before, have been disappointed by a previous experience, or have had great headshots in the past, your expectations will be exceeded.



I've had the privilege of photographing talent seen in Broadway productions and tours like Mean Girls, Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia!, Jersey Boys, CATS (multiple tours including 2021-2022), Starlight Express, Joseph...Dreamcoat, West Side Story, Smokey Joe's Café, The Wizard of Oz, Baby Shark Live!, and on national television shows including Grey's Anatomy, Blue Bloods, and Ellen.
