the evolution of a photographer
My journey started almost two decades ago when I picked up a camera and began photographing women. I always found the bravery of the women who stood in front of me, a total stranger with a piece of equipment that captured and memorialized every inch of them, totally fascinating.
The bonding between my clients and me was inevitable, but what I didn’t expect was how I would become both a guide and an observer through some of the most vulnerable moments of these women’s lives.
The bride who made everyone leave the room except me as her photographer and then looked up and said, “I don’t want to marry him.”
The woman who never married and decided she didn’t need a mate to justify a photoshoot to celebrate her womanhood.
The woman who realized she married the wrong man by year ten but couldn’t find the courage to leave until year twenty.
The woman married to a narcissist who came to me and asked, “How can I be a better wife?”
The woman who decided to remove both of her breasts and her uterus before BRCA1 could take her away from her young daughters.
The woman who wanted to find herself again after her divorce and believed the first step was a healing photoshoot.
The progression from photographer to life coach came naturally, and blending both in a way that serves women on journeys of self-love and acceptance has been more fulfilling than I could ever have imagined.
READY TO FINALLY LIVE AN EMPOWERED LIFE?
It’s more than just a photoshoot.
It’s a reckoning with your own magnificence.
