Long time photographer, longer time cosplayer! 
My journey with cosplay began in ye olde year of 2006. Obsessed with Naruto, Fruits Basket, and Death Note, I attended my very first Anime Convention. The second I walked into that fluorescent warehouse of plushies, wigs, and costumes, I knew I had to be there. My very next year, I dressed as Sakura from Naruto one day and Misa from Death Note the next. I met so many wonderful people and had the time of my life. I was hooked for life.

For the next two decades, I continued to cosplay. I hired many photographers and attended shoots with my friends, and loved looking through photographers' instagrams of the beautiful costumes and stories they told. So I borrowed a camera from my roommate, headed down to Katsucon 2018, and started taking photos of cosplayers! I wondered if it was possible that I could love it even more than cosplay.

​

Turns out my love of cosplay photography turned into my love of ALL photography. I started offering sessions at conventions, took photos at events with my family, and on location photoshoots for friends. Portrait photography is something special.

& In 2024, I started working as a full time photographer in the Salem Massachusetts area. I feel very lucky to be doing what I love and still have time to travel to conventions and work with cosplayers.

To me, cosplay photography is a collaborative art. We are not simply taking pictures; we're creating a scene, a story, an emotion, a preserved moment that captures your endless hours of crafting and care, and the heart of the character you're in.
