When my youngest child was a baby, I bought my first DSLR and started studying. I had famous photographers’ posters on my walls in college, and I’d always taken tons of pictures, but I wanted to learn how to create the beautiful images I enjoy so much.

After much practice, and instruction from some amazing photographers, I opened Rockland Studios Photography in Madison, Connecticut, in May 2017. It has been my honor to photograph so many beautiful people, and to see kids and families grow from year to year. I had no idea I’d love photographing events, but it has become one of my favorite things.

As the seasons change, the beautiful Connecticut Shoreline area changes, too, along with the light and the leaves. So my photos change in a cycle of colors and seasons. There’s something beautiful in all of it.
