Embodiment and Empowerment Portrait photographer, north carolina, austin, los angeles, costa rica

Mission statement

My mission is to empower women into loving every part of their bodies, hearts and wisdom within. Through a ceremonial portrait photography session we will,

  1. We’ll open with a ceremonial cacao or tea hot beverage

  2. We’ll tap into our breath to tune into our bodies

  3. We'll celebrate your wisdom, your body and the beautiful and powerful woman that you are right now!!!

Artist Statement

My work was birthed from returning to my body’s wisdom after experiencing a sexless marriage and relationship for 7 years! It awakened in me to begin to truly love every part of myself. My heart, my body, my wisdom, my sexuality and my joy of the woman I am right now.

My work is noticing the gestures of your breath and natural movement and capturing you in your most raw and authentic nature. My work is a conversation between your body, earth, spirit and honoring of the feminine and masculine within you.

Whether we create a portrait session together or you by an art piece of mine, my goal is that it invites you to slowing down, breathe and to remember the beauty of co-creating with the unseen.

About me

I was gifted a camera when I was 12 after babysitting my little sister one summer. That awakened to documenting my whole life through that camera which led me to successful photography business for 13 years capturing emotions through wedding days. My work has been featured in publications including TIME, PEOPLE, BRIDES, ESPN, Magnolia Rouge, and Green Wedding Shoes, among others.

In 2020, I awakened to the love within and my embodiment portrait sessions was birthed. This shift marked the beginning of my work today, exploring the relationship we have to our body, mind and spirit.

Today, my work continues to evolve, guided by curiosity, intimacy, and the unfolding journey of this wild human experience!
