Pacchen Mayan Tribe Project
I recently traveled to the jungles of the Yucátan, Mexico, with Eco-Community expert, Aeon Karris and anthropologist, Adrian Perez, to work with the indigenous Pacchen mayan tribe to create photographs in efforts to help them protect their land and waters from commercial builders.
My goal is travel back to create more photos for a book where I can give the proceeds back to them. To view some of the images taken so far click here.
Donations and products can be purchased of my underwater art for the cause and can be made, at
I’d be grateful for your support!

The Underwater World at Rebel Yoga Studio
Although it may not feel like it, summer really is around the corner and I’m looking forward to kicking off the season of creating art underwater with new and old friends!
To get things started, I’ll be having an art opening at Rebel Yoga studio in Chestnut Hill (8020 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118). Join me for the opening reception on May 4th from 6-9pm to view of my Underwater World photographs. Click here for more details.
To entice those who have been interested in an underwater portrait session, I’ll be giving away $50 gift certificates at the opening to put towards your session this summer.
I truly hope to see you all for a fun night out filled with art and yoga!

Underwater Portrait Session Video!!
I'm finally posting a video that my very talented friend, Erika Schoof, shot for me to give folks a little taste of what I get to see underwater while taking my underwater photos. The video was shot during one of my favorite sessions of the summer of my friend, and sound healer, Jennifer. I hope you enjoy!
Underwater Babies!!
Recently I had the wonderful privilege of teaming up with the amazing, Infant Swim Coach/Lifesaver, Barb Gorman, www.infantswimphilly.com, to photograph babies underwater that have taken her swim course. The images will be used on her website. It was one of my favorite shoots of all time capturing these little angels in flight! Here's a little taste of what we captured that day...

The photos were taken to celebrate her hard work paid off. You Go Girl!!!

My dream of working with professional dancers came true this summer and the first to model underwater for me was this incredible guy, Cameron Auble-Branigan. There are way too many photos I love of him and can't wait to share many more! Thank you Cameron for being so Awesome to work with!!
Pennsylvania Ballet Dancer- Lovely Nardia
This summer was packed full of wonderful photo shoots in the pool including one of my favorite sessions with the lovely, Nardia. As you can probably tell from this photo, she is a professional dancer with the Pennsylvania Ballet. I had the privilege of photographing a few professional dancers and I have to say my mind was totally blown away by this lady. Although she had no experience modeling underwater, she was one of the most gorgeous graceful, powerful people I've ever photographed. This is just a taste of my sessions with them and look forward to posting more soon! Thank you Nardia!
