About Me
I started photography as a hobby after my son Carmine was born. At that time I was working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. I had taken my son to various photographers throughout the years and learned that I really loved the on location life style photo sessions that captured his adorable personality while making priceless memories. I was so intrigued by this that i invested in a camera, took some classes and fell in love with photography.
Then the unexpected happened…my second son Santino was born 2 months early. Thankfully he was healthy and strong. He stayed in the Hartford NICU for 40 days and when I brought him home I couldn’t bear to leave him. My husband Randy and I re-evaluated our priorities and I left my job working with special needs children after 15 years to become a stay at home mom.
This gave me the wonderful opportunity to be home with my children and build my photography business. I was incredibly fortunate that my children were both healthy and my husband was supportive of making my hobby into my business. Growing up I always knew I wanted to work with children and completed my bachelors degree with that goal in mind. Capturing the beauty of newborns, children and families while documenting their now is what I strive to do with each and every person in front of my lens.
