Hello & Welcome!  I’m so very happy that you are here – grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and stay awhile.  The mission of The Ligonier Street Studio is to provide stories whether with images or words.  The studio is a place where I can play, experiment and be creative.

collection of moments

For me, photography is all about feeling and emotion.  I am inspired most when I immerse myself and allow the photo to unfold.  I stay away from overthought images because I love authenticity and the moment has to be real, yet inviting.  I tend to create images not how they looked when I lived these moments, but how it felt.  My photography work reflects my great love for artistically natural images. I am always inspired to capture honesty, emotion and detail when I am behind the camera. I believe a photo should reveal meaning and depth; something beyond just the appearance of a subject.

lifestyle BLOG

sit back, relax & enjoy

In between projects and sessions, I create lifestyle stories that celebrate classic fashion, messy hair, relaxing weekends, impromptu getaways and a great book that is hard to put down…oh yeah, and I never forget to share a fantabulous recipe!  Also, while you’re visiting the blog, make sure to check out the WORTH SHARING page…there you will find websites that focus on lifestyle, DIY projects and really awesome products – you may just find them worth bookmarking!  I created this blog as a diary of random adventures and a collection of delightful insights for living happy and living right.

real life + fine art

If you are a business in need of creative images, feel free to view my work. I absolutely love working with people who, like me, value simplicity and emotion…and of course, creativity.  I marry my journalistic approach and my fine art editing style to create unique custom images.  I am known for my candid photography, my uncanny attention for detail and my drive for perfection.  My photography is complemented by my skills as a stylist and creative director which makes me more than just a photographer.  Whatever the project, my ultimate goal is to deliver artistically natural images that make a return on your investment.
