Favorite Movie: The Princess Bride
Favorite Book: Ooooh, that’s a tough one! I am a voracious reader, and could never pick just one. My usual recommendation is Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple. The writing style is a bit odd at first, but you soon fall into the story and forget that. It is absolutely hysterical. I never type LOL, but I very literally laughed out loud multiple times while reading this book; I think my husband thought I was nuts!
Favorite Lens: My 85 1.2L. Even though it’s heavy, the colors and bokeh are beyond dreamy.
Favorite Magazine: Vanity Fair – beautiful imagery, well-written articles, I love it.
Favorite Website or Blog: Humans of NY, The Bloggess, Mashable, Glitter Guide
Favorite Music: ZZ Ward, Elle King, Caro Emerald
Favorite Store: Kate Spade
Favorite Local Spot: There is a natural hot springs at our favorite boating spot. It is heaven on earth.

Photographer Idol: Mark Seliger
Favorite Instagram Accounts: Instagram is my favorite. I try to follow a bunch of people who share pretty, inspiring things (as well as my friends and family!), and some that I just find amusing. A few of my favorites: @RandomActsOfPastel, @MaryEllenMatthewsNYC, @SebLester, @VanityFair, @womenIRL, @ddccad, @katespadeny
Favorite Pinners on Pinterest: Glitter Guide, Damsel in Dior, The Beauty Department, Deluxemodern Design
Favorite Quotation: It’s a line from the Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose: “To covet beauty in environment, manner, word, and thought.”
I want to see the beauty that’s around me, recognize the beauty in others, and try to create beauty where I can. I may not always be successful, I get cranky and negative like everyone else, but I strive for it.
Most Interesting Place I’ve Traveled: I love to travel, but the most interesting place would probably be a tie between Belize and Ireland. Belize had amazing ruins to explore, and the rich history in the tiny towns in Ireland was amazing.
Favorite Family Vacation Spot: Ka’anapali, Maui
Guilty Pleasure: Frosting on graham crackers.
If money were no object, my occupation would be: A scuba guide.
What Makes Me Memorable: Probably the cotton-candy hair.
A Favorite Personal Photograph: This is my husband, and our first-born son about 20 minutes after he was born. I had just been wheeled to the recovery room.

A Favorite Photograph from Your Business: This is my recent favorite. The newborn isn’t tucked up and posed perfectly, but the love of the family overrides that. I like embracing the imperfection and focusing on the love. That’s what I want my brand to convey and why I feel this image is representative of my brand. I want to capture the love in a family and put it on display.
