First and most importantly I am a mother of four boys! I had my first-born son in 2002, and he would be only one of many inspirations for taking way too many photos! I would also give credit to my four sons for gifting me with the knowledge and patience that has made me an excellent photographer and friend to many children! I do consider it a gift to have been called "the baby whisperer", "magic worker", and so much more!
I spent many years loving photography. Growing up with a camera always present in my life, as well as in my face, I developed an early understanding of how meaningful it is to preserve life's most important moments, with a deep appreciation for the power of memories and storytelling. I appreciate all the moments captured by my own family that has allowed me to look back at so many cherished memories!
I established Bellissimo Fotography (Beautiful Photography) in 2009. My family is Italian originating from Bari, Italy and the name is a tribute to my beautiful Grandmother Grace!
What began as a passion has grown into a dedicated career capturing authentic emotion and making beautiful connections. I believe photography is more than just taking pictures, it's about preserving moments that can be cherished for generations. And... the best part of my job is making people smile!
My artistic eye has no limits, but I do specialize in family, newborn, children, maternity, and weddings. I enjoy creative projects and truly enjoy making moments magical and fun!
