Photography for Creative adventurers
" May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art.
And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

Empower Your Brand
Does Your Visual Identity Attract Your Ideal Client?
It is no longer enough to have good photos. You need to sell your story. What can you do to change lives and how does it feel to work with you?
I know, it's hard enough to pose in front of a camera AND feel good about yourself when you see the results. Now you also need someone to shine a light into your world and to be able to represent you accurately? Yes.
It's time to make an investment in a session with me. I am adept at fleshing out the full story and nurturing you to let it all out.
I want you to be seen. I want you to feel heard.

On top of it, your session will leave you feeling it inside and out.
ABOUT
The Happiest Viking. A Portrait Photographer.
Based in Brooklyn
Viking sword-fighting photographer seeking creative adventurers
who want to take their life to the next level!
I spent my childhood engrossed in magic, fairy tales and mythology. All my interests involved the art of seeing things that might not be apparent to everyone else and I used to hide the eclectic, introverted side of myself. I decided to celebrate and own these things that made me who I am. I embraced being different, both in my personal life and in my photography.
I really enjoy helping others give life to the strength & magic they possess.
Authentic. Courageous. Unique. Whimsical. Artistic. Magical. Strong. Bold. Compassionate Warrior and Romantic Shieldmaiden.
Originally I was a painter, I concentrated solely on photography while attending college at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. My photography reflects my past work as a painter; producing tactile imagery that is rich and lush and uses multiple layers to create depth. I am the founder of Photomuse, an award-winning, fine-art & documentary wedding & portrait company. Prior to founding Photomuse, I focused on photojournalism and documentary photography while working at Magnum Photos and subsequently as the studio manager for renowned photographers Elliott Erwitt and Ed Kashi.
In my spare time, I like to play with my two dogs, Bali & MeiMei. I study HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts)....in other words... how to fight with a two-handed longsword. I love to read, draw and explore in the woods. I love marshmallow sundaes, I am obsessed with journals and I love black tea with coconut. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I blush. Too. Much.
And..
I really wish I were an elf.....
