experience

Let me guess, You HATE having your picture taken. I get it.

Having your photo taken is one of the most vulnerable things you can do. My guess is that anytime you’ve had your photo taken you’ve felt awkward, nervous, and no idea how to pose or what to do with your hands. You perhaps felt unprepared and not guided on what to wear. It’s almost impossible to feel confident if you have ever felt any or all of these things during a photoshoot.

And guess what? It’s not your job to know any of that.

THAT’S WHERE I COME IN

Elevate, Empower, Embrace

Connecting with Your Authenticity, One Portrait at a Time

I'm here not just to photograph you, but to guide and journey with you – from our initial conversation right through to the final reveal. Our collaboration begins long before the camera clicks, ensuring that you feel at ease and radiate confidence.

In my portfolio, you won’t find professional models. Instead, you'll see everyday individuals, much like you, who may have once been apprehensive but emerged from the experience empowered. Every shot is a result of our shared vision, a co-collaboration to produce images that truly take your breath away.

Empowerment through portraiture isn't about external transformations; it’s about internal revelations. My goal for every session is to shift your perception, allowing you to see and celebrate yourself as your loved ones do. Wondering how a photographer, potentially a stranger, can achieve such a profound impact? It's all about genuine connection. With 19 years under my belt, I've mastered the art of photographing with empathy, understanding and resonating with diverse personalities and backgrounds.

With a deep focus on the spirit that makes you uniquely YOU, my commitment is to provide you with images you'll cherish and beam with pride over. Be it elevating your professional presence, boosting personal confidence, or commemorating cherished relationships – trust in my promise to deliver that, and so much more.
