About Me
I was born and raised in New York City; attended West Side Montessorri, Spence, and
Riverdale Country School before heading off to Smith College and The Sorbonne, where I
majored in Art History and French Literature.
I began studying photography in Sixth
Grade and have maintained a passion for it ever since. I graduated from the Rocky Mountain
School of Photography in Missoula, Montana and spent several years as an assistant to top
New York photographers. I now reside in Manhattan and try to spend as many weekends
as I can in Northwestern Connecticut.
Photographing children was a very natural course for me to follow. As a child, I had been
fascinated by the photo albums my mother so diligently kept filled with the snapshots she took
of our family. I truly feel that it expanded the memory I now have of my childhood .
To look at an image of me and my sister having a picnic by a river at ages 5 and 2, soon after the
event itself, strongly reinforced the memory of the experience and gave me a definite sense of
myself at a very young age.
It caused me to realize that photographs taken during childhood are
not only valuable to the parents, the family and the friends, but also to the child! It is very much
because of the impact photographs had on me at such a young age, that I chose to enter this field.
