Whitney is a photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. She specializes in family and newborn photography, serving clients across New York City. Considering herself to be a perceptive and empathetic person, she finds great joy in capturing the true essence of the subjects she photographs and providing her clients with images that they love.

In addition to her client work, Whitney is particularly interested in using photography to raise awareness of social justice issues and inspire action. Influenced by her work with several non-profit organizations that support initiatives around topics such as gun violence prevention and equitable access to health care and education, Whitney is working on three photography projects focused on the gun violence crisis in the United States. Her "Final Moments" project has been exhibited by United Photo Industries as part of their “Capture Your Freedom” exhibition and by the Museum of Impact at the Weeksville Heritage Center.
