I went to Art Center College of Design for photography, and graduated in 1993. Through my time at Art Center, and the few years following my graduation, I weathered the trends of cross processing and fish eye lenses, and continued to nurture my connection with documentary photography of which I felt was timeless in its beauty and relevance.

Now, 30 years later, I run a Photography Agency out of our New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles offices with the best team of agents who are all really good people at their core. I find great joy in cultivating and nurturing the work of photographers who I feel have a vision. I thoroughly enjoy the creative process - and I get to go through it daily with multiple artists on many different projects. I am so thankful to be able to make a living working in the arts, and having a great time doing it! 

I live in South Pasadena, California with my husband Sean, my 21 year old son Miles, 8 year old son Hank Ryan, and our dog Louie.  

The daily flow of creative people provides our sons with many fantastic influences in their lives.
