My Approach


Candids First


It's always a pleasure to help others preserve memories of their significant life events and milestones, whether that be a Mitzvah, a baby naming, or something else that sparks joy. My goal in all of these is to preserve the authentic feelings of the moment, and this means that my approach is very photojournalistic. I champion candid photos and raw emotion over orchestrated galleries.
