I am a photographer and antique dealer living in coastal Maine with my husband and three pups. After living in cities and abroad, I settled just an hour away from where I spent my childhood. These days I am continually working through the trials and triumphs of restoring an 18th century home that is uniquely also an artist enclave. The home and community served as the inspiration I needed to leave behind a career in house museums and historic preservation for photography. My prior career path continues to inform the work I take on, always looking for projects rooted in cultural heritage and craft and using my camera as a tool for a similar kind of preservation through documentation.
I shoot both editorial and commercial photography. My design and travel work has been featured in leading national and international publications such as Architectural Digest, Frederic, the Wall Street Journal, and Cabana Magazine where I serve as a Contributor. My environmental portraits, ethnographic and religious projects, and still lifes have been exhibited in galleries and museums in the US, UK, and Europe. My commercial work has included product photography for homeware brands such as Bunny Williams Home, Matouk, Nicky Kehoe, and D’ascoli. I continue to work with nonprofits and museums advocating for art and cultural education, along with landscape and environmental conservation initiatives such as the Chantecaille Foundation. Let’s chat about how I can further your vision and brand messaging. I’m available to shoot globally.

I occasionally offer New England immersion workshops, focusing on the food, historic sites, and rich cultural traditions of New England. Think days filled with antiquing, local food cooked over the open hearth, touring New England’s best house museums…all while we photograph it along the way.
