locations
Most of my work takes place at my 1750 sq ft studio in Manayunk. Keep scrolling to view several outdoor session locations I photograph at as well. (Click the left/right arrow in each photo block to scroll through all the photos.)
The Studio
4100 Main Street, Suite 201, Philadelphia, PA 19127 (Manayunk)
Open by appointment only.
I’m located right on Main Street, Manayunk — a great area with awesome restaurants and shops, wall murals, historic buildings, a canal and the Schuylkill River. Two minutes off of I-76 (The Schuylkill Expressway), I’m easy to get to from Philadelphia, the Main Line, and the ‘burbs. Worried about parking? Don’t be! Your session includes on site FREE PARKING!
You can even combine your studio session with outdoor photos in this awesome town.

Manayunk: Main Street and the Canal
Want to combine studio photography with some casual outdoor shots? No problem…. we’ll just step outside the studio and walk along the vibrant Main Street and picturesque Canal of Manayunk.
The Steps — Manayunk (Philadelphia)
This spot is fun, funky, versatile, and beautiful! Mosaic steps, graffiti murals, the canal, a cool bridge, and some wonderful nature all combine to make this location really unique and wonderful. Please note: this spot is well used by trail goers on both foot and bike, so we will have to pause regularly to let people by. Great for adults and teens, but not the best spot for little ones.
Stoneleigh
Located in Villanova, this absolutely stunning property has a combination of beautiful stone architectural features as well as lovely natural beauty. Managed by Natural Lands, this location requires a $100 permit for photography that can be paid at the entrance. Please note that Stoneleigh closes at 5PM, so does not work well for golden-hour sessions during the late spring and summer months when sunset is late.
Hildacy Preserve
Located in Media, this is another beautiful Natural Lands property. My favorite spots at Hildacy are a bit spread out, so be aware that a shoot here will include a good amount of walking.
Haverford College
Versatile, pretty, with great options for both morning and evening light, I have always loved shooting at Haverford College.
Appleford Estate
Another gorgeous property in Villanova that includes a formal garden, water features, and wooded backdrops. Appleford requires a reservation with a $75 per-use permit, and is only available when they are not hosting events such as weddings.
Downtown Ardmore
Ardmore is a great little urban town and has some fantastic spots for an outdoor session.
Cynwyd Heritage Trail
A 1.8-mile-long rail trail in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, following the route of the former SEPTA Cynwyd Line railway line from Cynwyd station to Belmont Avenue, and forking along the way to the Manayunk Bridge.
Merion Botanical Park and Train Station
I feel that this location is a bit limited, but if you live nearby it might be just right for you.
