My mission as a transformational portrait photographer is to allow women the space to be truly seen, for exactly who they are, and to witness the beauty of their being beyond all the thoughts and ideas of who they think they’re supposed to be.I’m deeply passionate about this mission because I myself have lived a lifetime hiding. Hiding my essence, hiding my body, hiding my voice. Feeling unworthy and trying to fit into a box of who I’m supposed to be. On my own healing journey, I discovered that what I really want is to help women like myself release the shame they carry and see how beautiful and powerful they are. So they can live their lives fully expressed and in their purpose. So we can collectively step into our power and heal the world. Because that's the medicine I've needed.I've been helping women fall more deeply in love with themselves for years, and through hundreds of photoshoots, I've witnessed how incredibly hard we are on ourselves. Every woman who steps in front of my camera is a beautiful work of art, and yet it's so hard for her to see this for herself (and believe me, I've been in the same boat). I've used makeup, styling, posing, and retouching to help women see that they can look like the models they see in the media, and that they truly are beautiful.After years of photoshoots, it got me thinking - Why do we need all of these masks to see our inherent beauty? Why is it so hard for us to see the beauty in ourselves? Could it be possible to show women their beauty without all the charades?This is why I created RAW.RAW is a photoshoot experience that captures your unique beauty and essence underneath all the stories and beliefs you've been told about who you're supposed to be in order to be beautiful and worthy of love. Once you can see your shame as a piece of art that is outside of you, it loses it's power over you, and changes the way you relate to yourself.
