HOW IT ALL STARTED
The taunting due to my freckles, buck teeth, frizzy hair, chicken legs, & four eyes began when I was 8 & by the time I was in my late 20s, I was convinced I was ugly, especially as no one had ever asked me on a date & the only person I'd ever expressed interest in told me I was ugly.
In 2009, everything changed. I had a makeover shoot & suddenly realized that everyone was wrong - I am beautiful. Eventually, I got into modeling & decided to use my skills on both sides of the camera to change others' lives.
For the past 15 years, my passion for fashion has profoundly shaped my photography. I love transforming fleeting moments into timeless works of art, infusing every shot with a chic, editorial flair.
Originally just a portrait studio, in 2025, I expanded to capture all the facets of beauty, love, & individuality, ensuring every image feels as unique and stunning as the person in front of my lens.
I am genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to capture your beauty, your story, & all the love that surrounds beautiful YOU.
From an early age, I was captivated by the world of fashion and the glossy allure of magazines, but felt ugly in comparison due to childhood bullying.
I was bullied by my peers & my crush said I was ugly
