I am increasingly fatigued by the social media standards — Doing what I do, it is hard to share my work, like REALLY share my work, without fear of getting banned from the platform (a threat I have received more than once from the IG powers that be). It’s a free platform, so for that we have to play by their rules — but why not just make your own space? So, here I’ll be updating this gallery just as I would my own grid (or in correspondence of my grid!)

I know that selecting images can be a huge pain point for my clients, so I’ve decided to write some of my thoughts down to hopefully make it slightly easier. These tips will hopefully make selecting your images a little easier if you’ve purchased an album with your session. If you’re selecting them for wall art or even a folio box, the process is still similar (see #1) but you’d probably have a different final criteria.

I’m going to let you in on one of my best kept secrets as a makeup artist…
For almost the entire time that I was an NYC makeup artist, there was one product you would NEVER catch me without! No matter the client, location or job - it came with me everywhere.

The women that step into my studio are so unbelievably amazing. All different ages, walks of life, stages of life. People ask me about the demographic of women that typically come in for sessions and I haven’t been able to truly pin point it. Except maybe it boils down to this one thing… They all have a PASSION for life. They are all in a place of celebration. Celebrating who they are, what they’ve overcome, what they’ve healed from.

I got to spend time by myself in this new studio space, creating, playing, flowing… it ignites me. It reminds me of what I do and why I do it… sometimes that gets lost when my days are filled with the administration aspects of my job, or editing, etc.

The number one thing every single person says to me is “I don't know how to pose!” or “What do I do with my hands?!” — While a great photographer will certainly guide you through posing and capturing engaging photos of you, knowing how to pose can make a significant difference in the final result.

Together, let's rewrite the narrative of beauty. Let's redefine what it means to be photogenic – not by conforming to standards, but by embracing our individuality with pride and joy. You are a masterpiece in motion, a work of art in progress, and your story deserves to be told through the lens of self-love and acceptance.

Bright and beautiful, a literal dream come true. I started my photography career using only natural light (as we all do), but when I shifted to a larger studio in 2020, the natural light just wasn’t the same. I relied heavier on my strobes and created incredible magic within that space. But I always missed natural light. You can replicate it with strobes, or at least try, but it’s never the same.
