I was born in the Bronx and grew up between New York and Jersey, packing and unpacking more boxes than a UPS employee. Home was wherever my mom, grandma, or cousin Christine were. Christine was the first to show me that art could be both a mirror and a refuge. She once told me to create from right here - pressing her hand over my chest. That phrase has guided my creative life ever since.

Photography came later: Canon Rebel, a thrift-store wardrobe, and my cousin modeling in lakes, fields, and anywhere the light felt like an Irving Penn spread. What started as play became a language - a quiet conversation about grief, identity, and the many versions of myself I’d packed and unpacked over the years.

After years in corporate jobs and caffeine-fueled editing sessions, I took an extended break from photography. I found my way back, fittingly, behind a coffee counter where repetition, ritual, and small acts of care became part of my creative process. Coffee grounded me; photography taught me to listen. The camera feels lighter now. Less about perfection, more about presence.

My latest body of work was born from that rediscovery From the joy of playing with light again, to being curious instead of critical. The images from my flight over Greenland remind me of the beauty in stillness. That quiet pause between who we were and who we’re becoming.

At its core, my work explores the emotional weight of memory, the humor in impermanence, and the small, unspoken moments that remind us we’re still here. Still creating from right here.

I’m available for select portraits, art projects, and one on one sessions. I sell images as limited edition prints with a letter of authenticity. Once editions are sold out, the images are no longer available for sale. Inquire more for sale information, licensing use, and rates for desired projects.
