Who am I?

Me

I am a mama, daughter, sister, and friend. I am an advocate and an ally.

I have experienced moments where I’ve felt completely lost, where just brushing my teeth and showering feel like the hardest things to do. I’ve buried myself in certain roles, just to survive the real life happening around me. I’ve had my fair share of very dark days.

And I’ve also experienced the most beautiful and radiant joys that life can offer.

One day I realized that ALL of me matters - the darkness AND the light. The moments where I’ve had to wear a mask in public to hide my internal strife and the moments where I truly have shined for all to see. All of it makes me ME. And I am not ashamed of any of my layers because they all come together to build this human that I am today.

And thus was born this photography experience.

We all endure struggles, some quite complex and ever so challenging, and there are some battles that I have no clue what it feels like to have to try to conquer, and others yet that I wish I never had to figure out how to conquer. Yet, we stand and continue to face them. We’re tired and it’s unfair, we feel invisible and so, so frustrated.

But, I want you to know what I now know of myself: who you are is valuable.

I am the prize. You are the prize.

I want to give you the time and space to honor some of those layers that have, over time, made you the incredible human that you are. Acknowledge and accept the darkness, grieve and release the layers that no longer serve you, and celebrate and honor the layers that have guided you and helped you to evolve into the next, higher version of yourself.

My mission is to give you moments that fill your soul, and capture them on camera so you can have something tangible that you will always be able to look at to remind you of exactly who you are, what you’ve overcome, and where you’re heading. I am honored to work with you and excited to travel this journey with you!
