My Greatest Inspiration

The reason I picked
up a

camera

Her name is Aria. Minutes after she was born, they placed her on my chest and she looked up at me. I remember thinking I never want to forget this. So I picked up a camera and never really put it down.

She's ten now, and these days she's often right there with me on shoots, filming behind the scenes, throwing drapes and taking her job as my assistant very seriously. Watching her grow up alongside this business has only made one thing clearer: Time passes faster than we ever imagine.

She taught me that the photographs we treasure most aren't just about our children. They're also about the women we were while raising them.

That's the heart behind everything I do.

Why This Matters So Much

Motherhood changed me in ways I never expected.







After the joy of becoming a mother, my second pregnancy ended in an ectopic loss. I didn't have words for it yet, so I picked up a camera instead and turned it on myself. Self portraits became my way of processing what I couldn't say out loud. A quiet, private work that wasn't about anyone else, just about getting back to myself.
That process taught me something I still carry into every session: a camera can hold what words sometimes can't reach.

Today, I use photography to help other women hold onto their stories and honor their strength.
