As a known people pleaser I’ve struggled to walk away from those toxic relationships. I choose me.

Some days are just harder than others. We must choose to take life one day at a time. 

The struggles to maintain a more peaceful lifestyle. 

I did something that scared the shit out of me and i’m glad I did!

Passionate about what I do can be so demanding. Allowing myself some grace on days i’m so profound. 

I changed the narrative for my daughter. The impact of Body Image is huge and projection is real. 

First step of believing my photography journey was so scary! My studio keys are a symbol of taking that chance. 

Reflection on my gratitude from my first Body Image Bootcamp. 

Don’t call me brave for existing. I am brave for far better reasons. 

This dear Me letter was written about me and to me. My past, future and present self. Thank you. 

There's a solace moment that happens when you become comfortable in your body. Almost like an aha moment. 

If you have ever thought back to a memory from your adolescentance or early adult years that you realized was kind of silly? Well for me, that was my views about my body.

Why did I do this for so long? When my body image changed it allowed me to believe I am worthy of good things.

I stopped planning things out like if I had the time or if I have the money. If I have the confidence.

My conversations shifted. This is what I'm doing. These are my plans for my near future. It help me set boundaries with relationships that no longer support me and to surround myself with like minded amazing humans.

This is me

This is me discovering more about me

This is me declaring no one person or thing controls my happiness

This is me and all my glorious self

This is me and I will not be ashamed of me

This is me and I’m loud, passionate and caring human

This is me on a rock, in the ocean, in Mexico soaking up the sun

How did I get here? Like many photographers I started off taking any and all work. Once I realized what brought me joy and how I was able to make a difference in other people's lives I knew this was for me.
My studio is a space for you to feel empowered, supported and authentic to yourself! I am here to help you see how amazing you really are!

If I can help just one person walk this earth a little more confident and comfortable in their own skin then I'm doing something right.

I set out empowering others in my studio. I started selfies to showcase new wardrobe, sets, etc. What I discovered was so healing for me.

As I shared my journey via social media when I was vulnerable with my sadness or struggles I had abundance of support. However when I shared my happiness and self acceptance there was very little support.

As we get older our priorities shift. We tend to do less of what we love and more of what's expected of us. Can we not balance both?
