I began my career as a photographer at a chain of newspapers in Boston, Massachusetts. Soon I was assisting the staff photographers as a wedding photojournalist, which was at the time a brand new approach to weddings in a traditional industry. Inspired by my colleagues photojournalists shooting long term personal projects on the side, I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I worked and lived on ranches, capturing the connection between ranchers, their livestock and the land; documenting a rugged yet romantic lifestyle threatened with extinction. My words and images were published in local newspapers and national magazines and exhibited in galleries and museums in Jackson Hole and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

I met my husband Kevin while living in Wyoming. We lived in Annapolis, Maryland for twenty five years with our two daughters, Sophie and Eliza, and Sawyer, our beloved rescue dog. I was voted "One of Washington D.C.’s Best Wedding Photographers" by the Washingtonian Magazine for fourteen years, and I also included family, corporate and political portraiture and events into my repertoire.

After a recent battle with breast cancer, a new perspective and a move back to Vermont, my daughter Sophie Macaluso and I have teamed up as a mother daughter wedding photography duo!

Sophie is a Washington DC lifestyle photographer who loves everything DC. She is always impressing me with her assignments that include public transportation adventures to monuments at dawn, hundreds of Nats games, dog parks and events of all kinds in her beloved city! Recently engaged and planning her own wedding, she has given us both a new perspective on the wedding industry. Together we have so much to offer. I would love the opportunity to come down to DC, crash on her couch with my granddog Cowboy and capture the joy and beauty of your day!
