Your Trusted Boston Portrait Photographer
With over 13 years of experience in portrait and editorial photography, I have dedicated my career to capturing the authentic essence of individuals and couples. My journey began with a passion for storytelling through images, which led me to graduate from the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies in 2010. Since establishing my Somerville studio in 2015, I have specialized in creating portraits that transcend superficiality, focusing on genuine human connection and vulnerability. My approach prioritizes client comfort, offering personalized guidance on wardrobe choices, professional hair and makeup services, and collaborative image selection.I serve clients across the Greater Boston area, with a portfolio spanning author portraits, couples sessions, and editorial work featured in publications like The New York Times and Wired. My commitment to technical excellence and emotional authenticity has earned recognition, including being named a top portrait photographer by Boston Magazine. Every session is designed to transform perceived awkwardness into empowering self-expression, ensuring clients leave with images that reflect their truest selves.
