• I was raised with 3 brothers in a ranch house outside Boston. Bunk bed life. Peruvian mom. Boston dad. We spoke Spanglish at home.
• I spent my summers on Fortunes Rocks at my grandparent’s beach house. 15 years ago my husband and I secretly eloped on that beach. We didn't tell anyone for almost 3 years!
• When I was in first grade brought a pack of Virginia Slim menthols for show-and-tell. Faked smoked them on the bus.
• I failed out of UVM after my freshman year. I went to summer school and got my act together. Yay for second chances.
• I'm a traveler. No matter where I ended up, Chile, France, Peru, Switzerland- I’d always set up my darkroom in some small non-ventilated windowless bathroom. Darkroom fumes are almost as bad as Virginia Slims menthols.
• I dropped out of photography school a few months before graduation. It was a fork in the road situation. Spend the last of my savings on the final 3 months of tuition or invest in professional camera gear? 8 months later I had one of my first weddings printed in The Knot magazine. Follow your gut!
• Boy mom. Frankie & Johnny. My path to motherhood was a long & sad one. If you want to talk failed fertility treatments and loss, I’m your girl. If you want to talk miracle & rainbow babies I’m also your girl.

I'm the happiest person with a camera. Sometimes dreams do come true, even for the girl who grew up wearing her brother's hand-me-downs. So grateful for everyone who has supported my small business over the past 16 years!
