I cry when I laugh, my hair color is ever-changing (but usually a hue of blue or purple), I love afternoon tea, I'm slightly obsessed with Lady Gaga, and I'm a diehard Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. I am also a songwriter and I always have some sort of creative project I'm working on at any given moment!

This is me.

People fascinate me. I started photographing them with my mom's Canon A-1, and graduated to a purple digital point-and-shoot in high school which was heavily featured on my Livejournal. I'm originally from San Francisco and have a lot of pride about that, but did all my real growing up in NYC. I went to New York University, and after I graduated, I started my photography business. A few years into shooting mostly portraiture, a friend asked me to shoot her wedding, and the rest is history. I became a wedding and engagement photographer and I absolutely love it! 

I've been taking photos my whole life.

Sydney's shots are absolutely STUNNING objectively...but it was so exciting to see the great shots that she got under the radar, when I wasn't even aware she was shooting. She was so kind, transparent, and friendly from the get-go, I felt like we were friends immediately, which made all the shots feel more comfortable and natural...I would recommend her without ANY reservations. She's the best!

AMAZING AMAZING Photographer!

We got so many cool shots and she's just an amazing person to be. around. My wife and I love the photos of such a special day and i could not simply recommend Sydney enough! She's thoughtful and creative and extremely knowledgeable and we felt so comfortable with such an important shoot being in her hands.

Sydney was incredible!

She is so fun, down-to-earth, insanely easy to work with and be around, and I have never felt less stress in a photoshoot! We didn't have to do any thinking at all. Sydney directed us confidently but was also willing to play, and totally encouraged us to be our weird selves. We can't stop looking at the photos and had no idea we could love them so much. I would shoot with Sydney a hundred more times and can't recommend her more highly!

Sydney is AMAZING.
