​

I'm a photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah who specializes in photographing families, life celebrations, sporting events, pets, 1st birthdays, corporate & charity events.

​​

I grew up in Sea Cliff, New York: a small town located on Long Island.  Here I was able to meet so many great friends, family members & teachers who opened my eyes to the world of art and photography.  My childhood consisted of playing sports, going to Mets games, summer trips to Maine, Sunday dinner at my grandparents & countless family BBQ's.  I fell in love with photography in high school where I learned how to develop film & make my own prints in the darkroom.  I will never forget receiving my first film camera on my 17th birthday, my Nikon FM10 35 mm film camera, which is still on my desk to this day.  After graduating high school, I would then study fine arts and photography at VCU & Alfred University. 

​​

I ended up finishing my college education from Alfred University in which I graduated from in 2010. I would then start my career as a photographer & image editor working in New York.  This included the New York Mets, Island Photography, Lifetouch & my own business. 

 

I had an opportunity to move to Utah in 2014 & drove out west in March of that year.  This has been a life changing experience; I have put my roots down the past 10 years after getting married & growing my family. Over the past several years my photographer portfolio has grown significantly.  Which include corporate events, life events, charities, engagements, family pictures, birthdays, youth & high school sports.  I am driven by a lifelong passion for both sports and photography.  My goal is to create powerful images that connect with both athletes and fans,  Let's collaborate to capture your next event !
