.. dressing up my little sister (and all her friends) for the fashion shoots I staged in my bedroom at 15. I fancied being a fashion photographer, make-up artist, art director & magazine designer. Instead of moving back to NYC in my early 20’s, I moved to the Midwest. Nothing against the Midwest, but face it, that dream got put on a big hold.

Oh, but there’s always a silver lining.
Almost blindly, I fell into the world of commercial, editorial, film production as a make-up, prop & wardrobe stylist. 
See – all those bedroom shoots prepped me.

I worked alongside the most creative clients, art directors, directors, cinematographers, and photographers for more than 25 years. I absorbed every drop.

I slipped back into photography in 2008, landing in food in 2010. It was that or re-visiting fashion, but the ginormous amount of energy needed for that was long gone.

Life is funny. I often wonder how this introvert arrived here.
