World Traveler. Visual Storyteller.
My life and work are a combination of my passions: traveling the world (forty six countries and counting) and telling stories through my Canon lens. Whether capturing the essence of a family as they play, laugh and love on a local beach like Plum Island or exploring the streets and cultures of a new country, documenting the fleeting moments of life is what it’s all about for me. I am up for a photo shoot – Family, High School Senior or Intimate Wedding – anywhere on the planet and am adding more travel destinations to the calendar for 2018. Sessions begin with a planning consult and end with the delivery of gorgeous printed pieces to be enjoyed now and for generations. Love our work and want your story told and brought to life? Let’s chat!

And while the KLP Experience is really all about you, here’s a bit more about me, what makes me tick and my fifty times around the sun thus far:
I’ve officially travelled “around the world” four times. Visiting many third world and impoverished countries and always with a compassionate spirit, I’ve always sought out ways to help make a difference. In 2004, my first trip to the small Himalayan country of Nepal, I spent nineteen days completing the Annapurna Circuit with my trekking guide Tika by my side. Back in Pokhara at its completion, he took me out to his village to meet his family. His wife had recently given birth to their new baby girl, Sabina, and it was love at first sight. I decided that I would commit to sponsoring Sabina’s schooling through college. Currently she is fourteen and top of her class and my sister now sponsors her younger brother, Rajan, too.

In 2009, after hearing first-hand stories about human trafficking, I became actively involved with Maiti Nepal and its founder, Anuradha Koirala. With my many awareness and fundraising campaigns, I then went on to found my own non-profit to help in this fight called Take A Bite Out of Trafficking (TABOOT.)
In 2017, KLP moved from Downtown Newburyport to our new location at 9 Water Street in Amesbury, MA. While On-Location Portrait Sessions work best for Family and Senior shoots, our Studio space offers a beautiful and comfortable space for clients year round for our Lifestyle + Contemporary Head Shots and KLP’s Contemporary Portraits of Women.
