I knew I wanted to have a career as a photographer soon after I received my first 35mm film camera from my grandfather when I was in high school. I’m truly fortunate to have always made my living from photography.

I began my career as a photojournalist, working for a small suburban newspaper chain in the Washington DC area. After several years of being behind the camera, I made the switch to management as a photo editor at the Washington Post. I worked at the Post for 17 years and left to grow the freelance photography business I started in 2007.

Much of my work today is related to the food scene in the DC area. My editorial photography appears regularly in the Washington Post, Bethesda Magazine and Arlington Magazine. I also work for several top restaurants in the DMV, photographing their seasonal menus and interiors providing content for their websites, marketing and social media.

In addition to my food photography, I also cover corporate events and conferences and I do business portraits and family sessions.
