From a young age, I was drawn to every type of camera I could get my hands on. I knew I was destined to create images and was always passionate about storytelling through still & motion images, which led me to film school. It was then when I realized my true passion for photography. I moved to New York City right after college to jump start my career in film & television production, where my dreams started becoming a reality.
NYC was my dream come true - I had the opportunity to run the daily operations of multiple studios, shoot photography, & work behind the scenes to bring various forms of content to life for some of the top brands in the industry (iTV, Refinery29, Condé Nast, Equinox+, & various independent projects to name a few). After a decade of living this dream I decided it was time to pursue my creative passions in photography full time.
I am so grateful for the opportunities and growth I experienced over the last decade that brought me to this point in my career. Time after time I realized my heart has always brought me back to photography. As I reached a crossroads in my career I knew it was time to launch my photography business full time and that's when Shutterbug Pictures LLC was formed!
Its been such a joy befriending new clients and I can't wait to meet you!
