the Experience

I have a deep passion for posing and helping you show up confidently in your own body. 

Knowing that someone you trust is behind the camera and you don't have to worry about lighting, angles, or any of the other technical details that go into taking a great photo, frees you up to be present in your body, try new things, and and get comfortable in front of the camera.

I'm here to take the pressure off of you so that you can truly be yourself.
