Helping Women Feel Seen, Confident & Proud of Their Brand

You’ve put your heart and soul into building your business, and now you want to show up with the same clarity and confidence online.

But when it comes to photos, things get tricky. You’re not sure what you need. You don’t love being in front of the camera. And you’re wondering if iPhone shots might just do the job.

I work with women who are brilliant at what they do but often struggle to translate that into visuals that reflect the quality of their work.

Whether you’re launching something new or stepping into a more visible role, you want images that match where your business is heading, not where it’s been.

That’s where I come in.

A Little About Me

I’ve spent more than a decade behind the camera, first photographing families and now working with women to transform how they see themselves. 

I create a space where you can relax and be captured exactly as you are – polished and professional, but very much still you.

What I love most is seeing what happens next: when the photos give someone the confidence to show up and feel proud of how they’re presenting themselves.

That transformation is why I do what I do.

What It's Like to Work With Me

Most of my clients come to me feeling unsure. They don’t know what kind of images they need, what will actually help their business, and how to be in front of a camera without feeling self-conscious.

That’s completely normal. 

It’s why I’ve designed the whole experience to be thoughtful, supportive, and completely un-intimidating.

We start with a conversation about your business, your goals, and how you want to be seen. 

I ask lots of questions, listen carefully, and begin to map out a shoot that reflects you and gives you images that are not just nice to look at, but are genuinely useful.

During the shoot, I’ll gently guide you. I’ll suggest poses that feel natural, and show you the back of my camera to reassure you. 

I notice the small things, and instinctively know what kind of images will do your story justice.

You’ll walk away with a library of polished, on-brand images you’re excited to use, not just for your website or social media, but wherever your business is heading next.
