Escapes

As I travel I collect quiet moments that bring a place- it's culture, people and ambiance- to life for me. These moments are as scattered as the places they were taken. This collection includes photographs from Rome, Venice, London, Shanghai and beyond. I hope it takes you away for a moment as you enjoy them.

I specialize in portraits, interiors & creative commercial- with themes of rich colors, beautiful detail & authenticity. The very best way to get to know my photography style is to see the images themselves!

I opened my studio ten years ago in New Haven, Connecticut, passionate about using my photography to help people connect with their families, their stories, and their own beauty. When I'm not at the studio I love to travel and collect new photographs for the fine art series. My work can be found in private collections around the world, and has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, National Geographic, Forbes, MSN, and Connecticut Cottages & Gardens. I live in New Haven with my husband, Yale University professor Dr. Paul Van Tassel, and our three kids.
