Express yourself with a portrait session that's as unique as you are, with a photographer who actually cares about getting to know you.

As someone who has overcome a lot of hardship in my own life, I'm really passionate about helping you not only embrace the fullness of your personal journey, but also capturing you and your story in a way that inspires others in your world. I firmly believe professional portraits are more than just photos hanging on your wall: they are monuments we create and keep around us to embrace with enthusiasm the fullness of who we are becoming. This chapter of your life is worth preserving!

Finding a photographer who seriously cares about you, your journey, and capturing your story (plus, one you can have a fabulous time with) would be really amazing, right? But in the midst of life’s challenges and distractions - not to mention our own feelings of uncertainty - sometimes that doesn’t seem possible.

Capture your strength, beauty, and individuality with a custom-tailored portrait session.

Talk with Gary one-on-one to get to know each other and design your custom photoshoot with expert guidance.

I'M GARY

hello there!

FASHION DESIGNER, PHOTOGRAPHER, YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND

LET'S CONNECT!

And together we can create authentic, gorgeous images that will ring true and be treasured forever.

I understand, though, that it can be challenging to find a photographer you can relate to and resonate with. One that helps you let down your guard so you can truly be seen in all of your beautiful complexity.

I would be so honored to provide for you a personal approach to portrait photography and pamper you with an incredible experience, so you can have someone behind the camera that you connect with. 

Okay, I’ve gotta be honest with you. Even though I’m probably the most delightful, absolute joy to be around, New-Jersey-native bestie you’ll ever meet with stories to fill the pages of 5 books, I actually take what I do quite seriously. During my extensive and robust experience working as a model, agent, and fashion designer for industry giants like Neiman Marcus, Chanel, Cartier, Saks 5th Avenue, and the late James Galanos, I was around photographers every day.

I recognize the impact of stepping in front of a camera and allowing yourself to be vulnerable, to pour your heart and soul out. 

What he did for me with photography was nothing short of miraculous.
