Portraits matter because identity shapes action.
Women, and the lives they are building…
Most people live inside an old picture of themselves, meaning we don't live from who we are. We live from who we believe we are. Sometimes the most important thing to renew isn’t your wardrobe, career, or relationship—it’s your self-image.
Full-Service Commissions
Portrait commissions are available September through June. I work with a small number of clients each year, creating portraits centered on women, motherhood, work, creativity, and the lives people are building.
-
Each commission includes planning, photography, image selection, and the creation of finished artwork for your personal or professional needs.
-
We charge a $625 commission fee which covers your planning, photoshoot, and ordering session. Print collections are sold separately. Contact us for more details.
The Woman Behind the Camera…
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. - Zen Proverb
I love helping my clients leave behind their inhibitions and take control of their confidence.
Whether you need portraits of a personal nature or for professional branding, I am here to offer you a valuable and transformative experience.
I believe confidence starts with vulnerability and ends with a powerful perception of yourself and your work. The between part is about making the connection.
