When the pandemic hit, like many, my world felt blurry. Living in New York City and navigating motherhood of two young children; I worked daily to keep my emotions in check. Trying to make sense of it all, I began photographing our experience - my daughter watching the iPad, her gaze out the window that once was occupied by endless commuters, our first walk outside. This process held gravity and helped me express myself. When a few of my pictures made it into publications, I felt a certain energy and validation to focus on my photography.
By late May 2020, we decided to move to the Eastern End of Long Island. Once just a vacation destination, soon became our home for the next 18 months. During this time, I saw The Hamptons differently from my quick weekend getaways. The subtle seasonal changes, the way the light hit at different times of day, the metamorphic coastline, and the varied colors captured and inspired me.

That is when I realized that creating images was my authentic calling...
