When you work with me, it’s about more than just taking photos, it’s about creating a space where you can feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely yourself. I started Rust Wind Photography from a deep love for storytelling and a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. I grew up in New Jersey and fell in love with photography early, I got my first camera at 12 and was always the one documenting everything. I went on to study Cinema and Photography at Ithaca College, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. During that time, I created short films, wrote screen plays, created animations, worked with film and in the dark room, studied visual theory and art history, and even curated and installed my own photography exhibition from start to finish.

One of my most memorable experiences was interning at Studio D, the in-house production studio for Hearst Magazines. I got to work on creative content for brands like HGTV, Food Network, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, an experience that shaped my eye for editorial and lifestyle photography.

Since graduating, I’ve worked in real estate photography and now specialize in capturing weddings, families, maternity, engagements, and life’s special moments. My style is soft, nostalgic, candid, editorial, but also full of natural light. I bring a calm, grounded energy to every session, and my goal is to help you feel fully present so your photos reflect the love and story that’s already there. I want your photos to feel like you, not just my style.
