I’m your person
I want to help you sparkle
Let’s go beyond headshots, flat-lays and basic product photos. If you’ve been looking for a way to marry your story and purpose with the images you use for your brand, I’m here for you.
I have worked in retail and for multiple small businesses, in addition to making photographs for local style magazines and blogs. My favorite projects have been styled look books and making photos of unique experiences that also give back to the communities they serve.
I’ll help you make imaginative photos of you and the work you’re doing that serves people and planet – photos that help you convey your message and the passion you bring to what you do.
Let’s get photos off your to-do list
You dream of having a business that helps you feel free, and lets your inner gifts shine.
I'll handle the photos so you can share the work you're doing with the world with ease and joy.
We'll bring your most brilliant creative work into the world together.

Preparing for our time together
This is kind of a trick question - you can do as much or as little as you want to prepare.
Before you ever step in front of the camera, we'll get to know each other via phone and questionnaire and I'll send an email with an outline for our shoot, so we'll both know what to expect on the day-of.
The question I hope you'll consider is what makes YOU feel unique and free and brings you disproportionate joy about yourself? (I'll go first: mine's my hair, and my eyelashes. Pink hair should be my natural color and a touch of mascara makes me feel my very best.) And then focus on those things and leave the rest.
Whether you prepare for weeks or seconds, I promise we'll make something beautiful. I only ask that you do whatever it takes to show up open to experiencing - willing to allow your senses to lead you on an adventure and be delighted. If you haven't had your photo taken frequently or recently, a little bit of anxiety beforehand is normal...and we'll take care of that together.
Props, locations, and outfits
During our planning time, we'll create a vision for your shoot that will help us know what types of props, locations, and outfits would enhance the experience and bring your dream into reality.
I hope it's clear from the photos on this page that you don't have to wear a suit or look "professional." Your people want to see the REAL you, not the you that anyone else told you that you should be. Most shoots involve casual attire and something that you feel good wearing. If you have colors associated with your brand, that's a good place to start.
I can help with providing photography props - things to shoot through, ways to create interesting light and color. You'll just need to provide your working materials and or/products.
If you are looking for a fully designed and styled experience (think unique locations, flower installations, wardrobe styling, etc), all you have to do is speak up and share your dreams - we can always add that on for an additional fee.
A word about bodies
All bodies are welcome here
My body and I had a tense relationship from the time I was started puberty at six years old (far too early) until I was 32...which is to say, our relationship has been in recovery - from religious trauma, burnout, disordered and restrictive eating, stress, anxiety, and people pleasing - and on a path of healing for the past three years.
What helped the most was letting go of my need to like my body, which was holding me in a pattern of seeing it for the ways it does or doesn't meet certain standards. Instead, I decided to try for simple acceptance. When I lowered the bar to acceptance of whatever my body wants to be, I began to appreciate the unique way my body exists in the world and was amazed by the ability it has to feel so deeply, which is what it was designed to do.
These portrait sessions are meant to celebrate the unique way your body experiences joy and delight, and create art that will help you treasure that feeling. Your body does not have to be "perfect" or fit into any type of mold to be able to participate in this. It only has to have its very own way of being in the world. What brings you joy and the way it lights you up is the only type of beauty we're seeking.
Comfort and consent
Your body will be much more open to joy if it feels safe.
Because your body is in charge of your photo experience, we'll honor its needs throughout the time we spend together.
You get to decide what you feel comfortable with during your shoot. I'll meet you wherever you are and check in periodically during the session to ask how you're feeling. If we need to take a break to breathe, drink water, or take care of any other bodily needs, we'll make the space to do so.
What this is (and isn't)
A few boundaries:
While these photos are intended to be of you and what you make or do, they likely aren't going to be traditional headshots or product photos. What I want to make is something that tells your story, that explores how you put your soul into the world.
This is an inclusive space, rather than an exclusive one. Everyone and anyone is welcome here, and what makes you different and unique is what I want to celebrate.
This is an artistic exploration. Any work that we create together is intended to be driven by curiosity and self-expression. The space that we hold is intended to be free from any type of exploitation and objectification. You control what photos you keep from our work together.
