About Me
From the moment I picked up my camera and learned to shoot in manual mode, I’ve been obsessed with printing my photos in photo books.
For me, it’s not just about printing photos in standard layouts but using design to highlight the photos and tell my family’s story. Designing photo books is another part of the creative process.
Now, I’m on a mission to help moms who love to photograph their everyday life, print their photos in beautiful photo books that their family will treasure forever.
A few of my favorite things:
- Coloring with my daughter
- Bike riding with my son
- Summer family car trips
- Cookies and Cream ice cream
- Reading the NY Times on Sunday morning
- MoMA
- Bon Appetit (magazine, videos and recipes)
- A Chef’s Life
- The Wire
- The Royal Tenenbaums
- Currently loving Ferrante’s Neopolitan Novels
- Chanel Coco perfume
My Story
In 2009 my first child was born and, like so many other moms, I became obsessed with capturing every little moment that I was experiencing. It was my way to slow down time and remember little details that I knew I would forget. This desire sent me on a path of learning to photograph in manual mode in order to capture what I was seeing, in a realistic and creative way.
Starting with my first photography workshop, I immediately wanted to print my photos in a photo book. As an architect and advocate for good design, it was my way to display my family photos in a unique and intentional way.
On photography forums I noticed that other moms easily became overwhelmed with doing anything with their photos. Instead, they let all of the amazing photos remain on their hard drives….or on facebook. This meant all of their hard work and amazing dedication to capturing their life couldn’t be shared with their family.
I love going through older photo books with my kids and reliving the moments with them. This is what I want for you – to have a creative photo book that captures all of the amazing family photos you’ve taken and share it with those you love.
