Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and taking the time to read a little about me, for those who do not know me.

I am an expat!  Originally from Hornchurch, Essex, a town south east of London, (United Kingdom).  

My husband, Craig and I moved to NY in 1999.  We started off in Midtown Manhattan, then lived for several years in Hastings on Hudson, before finally settling in Tarrytown, NY in 2005.  We love where we live and feel so thankful to have found such a fabulous community to raise our two children.  Cameron (21) and Campbell (18).  We have an adorable Rottweiler named Angus and backyard chickens.

The Hudson Valley has been an amazing location for them to grow up.  As a family we love hiking, camping, cross country skiing, cycling and just generally being outdoors enjoying nature together.  I enjoy gardening and along with Craig we grow a wide variety of food in our garden.  Cooking is another passion, I especially enjoy being able to harvest our own produce and create something delicious and healthy with it.  There is nothing better than knowing where our food came from.

My love of the outdoors and our incredible surroundings constantly inspires me when assisting my clients in deciding on locations for their session.

You will often find me in Rockefeller Preserve, along the Riverwalk, on Croton Aqueduct or discovering a new and delightful off the beaten path trail with my camera.  Whether it is an early morning, post sunrise session or pre sunset, Golden Hour session there is no doubt I will ensure your session will somehow not only capture you at your best, but also feature what Mother Nature has provided us.  

For that reason all of my sessions are outdoors, on location.  I can assist you in choosing the perfect spot, suitable to the time of year for your session.  But I also LOVE discovering new places that are meaningful to my clients.  A recent discovery was the charming town of Beacon.  It was the perfect backdrop for a senior session.  I cannot wait to go back for another shoot soon.
