I am a Philadelphia based award-winning director and director of photography with a passion for the creative process and the execution of bringing ideas to life. My mantra has always been “the image is the emotion” and I love to breathe life into stories through light, lens, and motion. Specializing in documentary and lifestyle content, I have directed content for companies like GE, Blackberry, New Balance, Outside Magazine, and Asana Rebel and have been behind the lens for many more. As a director/DP/Editor I have the unique ability to work as part of crew, or a small nimble team, or take on a project independently. Aside from filmmaking, I am an avid golfer, mountain biker, and snowboarder with a passion for the outdoors, sports, and music.

From a young age, I was fascinated by film. The Visuals of movies like Lord of the Rings and Jurassic park stuck with me while I was growing up in Eighty Four, PA. I started to realize how much cinematography can change the mood of the story. While in school I was constantly thinking about making films. I later made the decision to pursue filmmaking which lead me to go to Point Park University where I got my bachelors degree in Cinema Productions with a concentration in cinematography. Since then I’ve worked on a number of films and with various artists such as Grammy award-winning artist Daya. I love bringing great stories to life and working with directors to make strong visuals through lighting and camera work.

Hey! I'm Nina. I am a lover of all things food, fun, and finding things off the beaten path. I have planned many trips over the years, all over the country, as well as some over the seas travel for the husband and myself. I enjoy thoroughly researching wherever we are going, and plan most of it around food. I'm definitely more of a small town charm gal, rather than a big city girl. I spent ten plus years in the restaurant industry, front and back of the house, which gives me a deeper appreciation when dining out and supporting local businesses. Right now, I am a freelance food stylist, and part-time content creator. I also have my own little fresh pasta business that I started about a year ago. On my off time, you can find me binging anything on Bravo with my dogs. :)

My roles included administrative and management, but also writing articles and taking many of the photos seen on the website. I’ve been taking photos since the age of 15, and within the last 5 years have really focused on expanding my portfolio and freelancing for special events, portrait sessions, weddings, and personal art projects.
