the girl next door, she’s the one.
You’re the woman in front of me at Starbucks.
The one eating lunch alone in a café.
The one who flew across the country for this—because she knew she was worth it.
You’re not here to perform.
You’re here to be seen.
Wear what you want.
Feel how you feel.
Say yes without needing a reason.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence.
Unfiltered. Unrushed. Undeniably you.
That’s the difference.
That’s the magic.
This is black & white for a reason.
Yes. I travel.
If you're not local — or just want to go somewhere that feels like freedom — I’ll pack my gear and go.
It’s not about the place. It’s about how you feel *in* it.
Alive. Unscripted. Yours.
We’ll find the light wherever we land.
Just say the word.
let’s create something iconic
cinematic portraiture
for the woman you already are.
the portrait you’ve been waiting for—
starting at $2000.
she sat down right there in the marigolds, like the whole field had been waiting for her.
the moment didn’t ask for direction—it unfolded.
and that’s where the magic lives.
most of my clients are between 35 and 50—
but if you’re outside that range and feel drawn to this work,
you’re welcome here.
"She made me feel powerful. Like I finally took up space and owned it." — Michelle, Los Angeles

this isn’t a logo.
it’s a phase.
a pull.
a rhythm that doesn’t ask for permission.
i don’t photograph perfection.
i photograph the shift—
the hush before the rise.
the knowing.
the return.
real light.
real women.
