Stay in the Frame.

I also know what it is to almost disappear from the frame.

A few years ago, I went through a health scare while raising two little boys and holding down a career. Life didn't stop, so I went on autopilot. For a long time afterward, I wanted no part of being in front of a camera. Like so many moms, I'd rather take the picture or hide behind one of my beautiful boys.

Here's what I've learned: you deserve to exist in the photographs, too.

That's why I created Stay in the Frame. These portrait sessions give women space to celebrate themselves through every stage of life, including the hard ones.

Whatever brings you in front of my camera, I want you to have photographs of this chapter, exactly as it is.

Who these sessions are for

These sessions are for women in Stamford, Fairfield County, New York City, and beyond who are moving through something. That might be illness, recovery, a milestone, a quiet shift, or a chapter that's hard to name. You do not have to explain more than you want to. You do not have to be at the end of the story.

What to expect

We'll talk first, at your pace. We'll choose a setting that feels comfortable. The session itself is unhurried. You'll receive a private gallery.

I gift four Stay in the Frame sessions each year as a way of giving back.

Follow along on Instagram and TikTok to hear when bookings or nominations open.

Privacy and care

Your photographs are yours. Nothing is shared on the website, in a gallery, or on social media without your clear permission. If you want the story told, we can tell it with care. If you want the photographs to stay just for you, that's enough.

If this is you, or someone you love, I would be honored to photograph her.
