“Beauty isn’t something you possess, it’s something you .”
My journey began at the age of 5. I vividly remember taking my (Olympus) film camera and shooting everything I could; my family members, friends and yes…even my stuffed animals. They were the only ones patient enough to sit with me while I practiced focusing, aperature settings, ISO, etc... As the years passed, I continued to hone in on my photography skills, while also experimenting with various mediums such as: printmaking, painting & sculpture. Eventually, I acquired my bachelor’s degree in design & marketing (from the University of Arizona) and went on to work in the field as a graphic designer. This is ultimately where I learned to approach photography with a designer’s eye.
After almost 30 years into my career, I decided to step into portrait photography full-time. Combining my skills and experiences from the past has created the clean, classic, modern images that have brought you here today.
Fine art, fashion, and design strongly influence how I create. In fact, they are each a huge part of who I am. Growing up, I dreamt of being a model or fashion designer. When I was a pre-teen, I'd walk into high fashion boutique stores and try on haute couture gowns — studying the drapery of the beautiful fabrics and admiring how it complimented the feminine figure. I'd spend countless hours at the local library, in my hometown of Scottsdale, flipping through fashion and photography books. Feverishly absorbing all the information I could. The body language, the lighting, the angles… I found my happy place! To this day, I'm in love with simplicity of finely crafted clothing and the art of fashion.
And I use this passion and designer’s eye to provide you with artistic direction and magazine-worthy editorial style images.
You may think you have to be or look perfect for your images to turn out beautifully, but you'll soon discover that you're already perfect — just the way you are. Rather than posing you or photographing you to look like someone you're not, I guide and encourage you to express your most authentic, best self. As a result, you'll feel comfortable, accepted, and free to be yourself.
And because I personally demonstrate each pose, you'll know exactly what to do. So let go, take a deep breath, and have fun as I capture the powerful and beautiful woman before me.
