I took my first photograph with a point and shoot in Jerusalem. It was a family portrait and I was seven. I lived in Cape Town. Several years later as a high school student living in the Bay Area, I discovered my grandfather's PENTAX SLR and I was in love. I graduated with a B.A. in Photography and moved to The Big Apple to pursue my photography dreams. I started shooting digitally. I miss film sometimes...and the dark of the darkroom.
 

In New York, I shot events, portraits and documentary photography. I also photo edited and produced for print and television. In 2009, I fell in love again. His job took us overseas and by 2011, I was living back in Africa. This time in Angola. Since then I have lived on several continents always with my camera and my NYC professional experience in my back pocket.
 

As a Freelance Photographer, Multimedia Producer and Photo Editor, I am available for assignments globally. Whether you are in need of a corporate headshot, event coverage, behind the scenes stills, food photography, or something newsworthy and socially important, I'd love to help you out. Additionally, I can edit, color correct and write captions. Or if you just need help setting up a shoot, art directing or licensing stock imagery, I can help with that too.
 

I hope we can collaborate soon!
