Photography changed my life before it became my career.

I grew up not seeing much worth in myself. That didn't shift until my mid-40s, and it started in a place I never expected. I was practicing posing and lighting on myself, and I fully planned to delete every frame. Instead, I saw something in those photos I had never been able to name. My own beauty. My own confidence. I kept a few of those images, and I still take self-portraits at every age and stage of my life.

Now I do that for other people.

Who I Photograph

I work with established entrepreneurs, coaches, speakers, consultants, real estate professionals, and creatives. Usually someone in a season of growth or change, someone who has quietly become a different person than the woman in her current photos. My job is helping her see what everyone around her already sees. I also work with small to large corporations to provide stellar headshots and consistent visual branding for social media, website, and marketing materials.

How I Work

I photograph people in the moment they stop performing and start being themselves.

That takes a room where you feel safe enough to let go of the careful angle and the practiced smile. I build that first and pick up the camera second. It's the whole reason a stylist, a hair and makeup artist, and a session plan built around you are part of every branding session. You shouldn't have to coordinate any of that, and you shouldn't have to show up wondering if you got it right.

What Makes My Approach Different

Most photography shows what you look like. I'm after who you are.

That's true whether you book a full personal branding session, a corporate headshot, or portraits marking a new chapter in your life. The intent doesn't change with the price.

Denver, Scottsdale, and Richmond, Virginia

I do this work on the road. My husband Jeff and I live in an RV full-time, and I split most of my year between Denver in the summer, Scottsdale in the winter, and Richmond, Virginia, where I built my business and have been voted Best of Richmond Photography for 7 years running. Sessions in other cities happen by request.

Wherever I am, you get me. Same eye, same process, same care.

Off Camera

I give Body Image and Confidence talks to young girls. It's the closest thing I have to a full-circle moment, standing in front of a room of girls who are hearing the same criticism I grew up hearing and sharing a new way to think about it.

Let's capture you.
