“Bloom beautifully,
dangerously, loudly,
bloom softly
however you need
just bloom”
― Rupi Kaur
Photos to me are the one thing we can tangibly hold. After my mother passed, I had zero photos of her. Excuse after excuse she made, until it was almost as if she had never existed.
So this is for you Mamas. Ladies. Sisters.
I will take the most amazing photos of you.
I will treat you like family.
I will pamper you like a celebrity.
Because you are worth every minute.
Girl, Let me take
I will literally move heaven and earth...
Care of you
A little about me...
I love with all my heart--- making women feel and look beautiful.
❤
It is my passion.
I truly believe no one ever really outgrows playing dress up. I want every single person I photograph to look and feel like a model. And to be honest, the people who "think" they are not photogenic are the people I love most to photograph, because "not photogenic", is not a real thing, at least with me behind the camera.
Each session comes with a complete pampering including full Hair and Makeup. Hair and makeup is around 30-40 minutes, and then the shoot lasts around 45-60 minutes total, with up to 3 outfits/looks.
I usually try and mix it up between, angelic whites, vanity fair blues, and perhaps some outside portraits. I even have an in-studio closet to help your day be stress free!

DEAR LOVELY,
It doesn't matter who you used to be; what truly matters is who you decide to be NOW.
You are not your mistakes or wrong choices. You are are not your past! You are not
your mishaps, you are not your wounds... You are not the story you keep telling yourself...
You are the only one who can decide differently, today and at any given moment...
The beauty is, you are given new opportunities with each breath... to think, to choose, to decide and act differently in a way that serves and supports you in being all that you are capable of being! No one is you, and that, my lovely is your truest power...
You are not less than... You my dear, you are glorious, you are enough.
"Let your soul feel its worth..."

"The strongest actions for a woman
is to love herself,
be herself,
nurture her brave spirit,
and shine amongst those
who never believed she could."
