I am a collector of moments, a believer in soul shine, and make no apologies for falling in love with my clients. My passion for art is the strongest when standing alongside others in their most authentic state...in laughter and in love. In that instant, my soul comes alive. Sunsets, old stuff, and Johnny Cash had me at hello....

Ok, here it goes...LJ has wowed me over the years when's she's grabbed our phone and took a photo for us or posted her own pictures. ....She did a photo shoot for my family, something I typically do annually. She completely exceeded my expectations. She managed to capture the sweet, the innocent, the inquisitive, the personalities, and I even caught a glimpse of what my twin three year olds will look like as adults. She was patient and unobtrusive, and let me tell you, the results were stunning. I've hired photographers for a pretty price and not had as many or as good shots of my family. What I loved most, is that everyone always tries to get the perfect smiles, and yet by capturing the imperfect moments, some of them are my favorites, and in the end, she got the perfect smiles too. I couldn't be more grateful and pleased with my experience with her. Yes, she is a dear friend, but she gave me something priceless, she captured my beautiful family, as I see them, as I cannot manage to do myself. For that, I'm grateful. Thank you. More...

LJ did head shots for my daughter and they turned out wonderfully. She was easy to schedule with, is personable and knows what she's doing. All the photos were lightly edited and looked really great. The turn around time for the pictures was super quick. I would recommend LJ and will be hiring her again for a family shoot. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
creating an environment where my clients can be their true authentic selves.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It depends - on a personal level? Why do you want your pictures taken? When someone looks at these pictures, what emotion do you want to evoke? Would you like help with outfit coordination?
What do you love most about your job?
Capturing others in their most authentic state...in laughter and in love
What inspired you to start your own business?
I want to be able to give the gift of capturing that perfect moment for someone.
Why should our clients choose you?
There's no one cooler to work with!!! Also, because I'm from NY and I won't hesitate to break out a bottle of tequila for a "cheers" before we start our shoot.
