Hi Friends! ( in my Ms. Rachel voice). I’m Gina, a nacho loving mom of two, navigating life’s adventures and in Belle Harbor, NYC.
Photography runs in my blood, thanks to my dad who was a wedding photographer back in the ’70s and ‘80s. Growing up surrounded by his passion for capturing love stories, I guess you could say it was inevitable that I’d find my own way behind the lens.
My journey into photography started through the world of fashion and commercial print modeling. Working for years in front of the camera made posing second nature. That experience has become invaluable in my photography journey, helping me create an environment where my clients can relax and be themselves. I studied photography at the Fashion Institute of technology, and was lucky enough to intern at Hearst Magazine’s studio with some world renowned photographers. I've also worked in commercial photography and even had some photography work published! I shoot with digital cameras as most photographers do, however I have recently rediscovered my love for film cameras! There is a magic that happens when the candidness of a special moment is caught on film.
Life took a beautiful turn when I hit pause to start a family, but now I’m back at it, doing what I love with a fresh perspective and a heart full of stories to tell.
So, if you’re looking to capture some real, down-to-earth moments—whether it’s a cozy family portrait or some headshots that feel like ‘you’—let’s chat!
