Special Skills: My goal as a premium photo assistant is to be an extension of a photographer’s creativity and take care of whatever comes up. I will be the camera tech, the lighting tech, the digital tech, the lunch tech, the model-wrangling tech, the client-schmoozing tech, and I can grip. In my years of assisting I have been on every type of photo set, and feel comfortable in any situation. I am outgoing, friendly, and give 100% from call time to the end of the shoot. When it is time to dig in and go to work, I will always be by your side. Please feel free to call anytime with additional questions.

Special Skills: I’ve worked on TV commercial stills, fashion, advertising and corporate jobs. I can do anything from set up lighting to shoot stills & video to direct models to edit & retouch on set. People often like me to direct their models (being a model seems to help with that) and sometimes hire me mostly for that part of it-especially if it is not their strong suit. I have been able to work with any photographer and make the client feel like we have worked together for years. I am calm under pressure and can pretty much learn anything in 5 minutes or less give or take 1 to 2 minutes;) If you need some cool iPhone shots behind the scenes, many photographers refer to me as “The iPhone Queen” with my wicked in phone Photoshop skills.
