About
Photography. Yoga. Ukulele. I have a home photo/yoga studio in PLG Brooklyn where I teach, or will come to you.
Photography is my main gig. I have been in love with photography since I was a kid with a kodak camera. I earned a BFA fine art photography at RIT in the 90's, and have been a professional photographer since 2000. My specialties are portraits and events, in studio and on location. I also have a side gig photographing real estate.
Yoga is the way I keep my body and mind in shape. I am a certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher since 2011, and teach group classes and privates. The group classes I teach are vinyasa-based and physically challenging. My private lessons are adapted to the strengths and abilities of the student. I use my backround in martial arts, Acroyoga and Thai massage to offer a fun and well-rounded experience.
Ukulele is one of my favorite past times. I have 30 years of experience playing guitar and almost 10 years of ukulele. I don't read music but I can teach chords, scales, strumming patterns, and of course songs! I love learning new music and will work with students to create challenging lessons that advance your skillset and keep your enjoyment levels high.
I am happiest when I am using my muscles of creativity. I love teaching people what I know and watching them grow and evolve.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When the student is ready, the teacher appears! Find someone whose work and or skills you admire, and then make sure you get along with them. Finally make sure they teach in a way that fits your style of learning.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Determine what really excites you about what you want to learn. Write it down, and then ask a lot of questions.
