Portrait Photographer & Master of Posing
HIGH QUALITY PORTRAITS FOR INFLUENTIAL WOMEN
LUXURY HEADSHOTS THAT MAGNETIZE THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES.
HI BEAUTIFUL!
YES, I’M TALKING TO YOU.
You’re not un-photogenic.
You just need a photographer who knows how to use the right angles and lighting to make you look absolutely flawless!
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You cringe at the thought of getting your headshot taken, haunted by past experiences, or convinced that cameras just don’t do you justice.
New headshots have been on your to-do list forever—you’re just waiting for life to slow down or to lose that last ten pounds.
Between career, family, and a million other commitments, you rarely feel glamorous, let alone camera-ready.
YOUR IMAGE SHOULD MATCH YOUR AMBITION
For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working exclusively with hundreds of inspiring female executives, mothers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
Combining my background in styling, fashion, and design with my education in classic portrait photography, I’ve discovered my true calling: capturing the essence of accomplished women through custom brand photography.
I've mastered my process—flawless lighting, expert makeup, and confident posing—not just to elevate your professional image but to boost your self-esteem. Running my own brand and business helps me understand your goals and target audience.
Nothing lights me up more than hearing from past clients who secured book deals, funding, and board roles thanks to transformative portraits that authentically capture their essence. Captivating images that you’re proud of magnetize the right people and opportunities.
I’m so excited to partner with you to create classic, chic images you can be proud of. Because, in my book, you don't just deserve to feel beautiful and glamorous—you deserve to shine

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A GREAT HEADSHOT.
In the business world, first impressions matter. In this digital era, they matter even more. Studies show it takes about 50 milliseconds for users to form an opinion about your website that determines whether they’ll stay or leave.
Could the lack of polished, on-brand images be sabotaging your success?
Don’t spend time and effort driving traffic to your website only to have them leave because your images don't reflect your expertise and authority!
Stop letting awkward selfies or outdated headshots undersell your professionalism. Without the right visual cues, doubts creep in, and business is lost.
Prospective clients seek reassurance through images that exude gravitas and competency. Together, we’ll ensure your image sends the right message about your skills and builds trust from the start.
