I needed a rocking headshot that I felt great about using.

Like many, I have never loved myself in photos and know firsthand the unease of having my photograph taken.  I needed marketing photographs that I didn’t worry over and second-guess.  As I studied and practiced the craft of image making, I learned a lighting technique and coaching process that transformed my own unflattering headshot into a beautiful, empowering image I am proud to spread around.  Now, I help professionals elevate their images to match their expertise and feel amazing in the process.  

Rewinding a bit, thanks to my dad, I’ve had a camera in my hands since age five.  I pursued my first career in business rather than the arts, yet I always leaned into my creative process as a leader.  While winding down a lengthy and rewarding career as a healthcare executive, I returned to art school as a personal enrichment endeavor. After leaving CEO life in 2018, I wrapped up my BFA in commercial photography and launched my studio full-time. What started as feeding my inner artist led to connecting with and supporting people in an entirely new and elevated way.

I understand the demands of running the show, be it your own or someone else’s, and relate to conveying your unique brand effectively and authentically. Whether it’s you or your entire team, I’m here for you.

Photographers are not here to show people what they can already see. They are here to give them experiences they would otherwise not have experienced and to preserve moments that would otherwise be forgotten.
