Showing women their true selves through transformative portraits and events so they can live with more authenticity, intention and purpose.

What if there was no such thing as strength or weakness?

We tend to label our qualities as strengths and weaknesses. It makes sense that we do this in a culture that values simplicity over complexity and nuance.

The journey of feeling everything

The journey isn't just about feeling good. It's about feeling everything. It is the importance of duality and seeing that we are made up of both light and dark and that these two things are not separate or opposite.

When I was growing up, I remember feeling so loved When I was growing up, I remember feeling so loved by my parents but as I grew older and formed my own opinions and views of the world that were radically different from my far right religious parents, that love started to have conditions. Those conditions became a heavy burden I carried well into middle age because I was afraid to lose their love. Not too many years ago, I decided that I had to finally live life for me and choose to love myself most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always believed love was a feeling and I would know love when I felt it and it would never go away. But life has taught me that love isn't always a feeling but an active practice and choice and that practice is all about choosing to accept ourselves exactly as we are. When we learn to do this for ourselves, we also learn to love those who are closest to us this way too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've had to continually put this practice into action and am tested as a mom as I constantly catch myself creating situations for my children who might believe my love for them is conditional. My kids also call me out those times too saying things like, "I shouldn't have to do this to get your love" and I am grateful to them for that. It forces me to give them my unconditional love but also to give myself that same love too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In ways will you put into practice loving yourself exactly as you are? Not for only showing up as the best of you but those times when you are fallibly human and show up at your worst?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choose to love. It ALL starts with us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I started calling myself a Transformative Photogra I started calling myself a Transformative Photographer when a friend of mine saw a portrait I did of a mutual friend. I was pulled to studio portraiture by a calling although at the time, I didn't know why. My friend called my work transformative and I loved the term so started using it to describe my work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, 4 years later from when I first dived head first to now, my work has evolved so much, along with my own personal journey which has served as its North Star. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From wanting only to show women their light to shifting how I see beauty as complex and incomplete without our shadows... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From wanting the women I photographed to like their pictures to inviting women to dive deeper when they didn't and recognizing that's where the embodiment practice lives... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To looking to the quality of my work to determine my value to seeing that I was the one who was the source of my value all along...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am an EMBODIMENT Photographer & Mentor. It's one thing to just say with our minds that we want to love and accept ourselves but another to fully embody this in your body and soul through the daily practice of accepting ourselves exactly as we are, shadows and all and recognizing that is the only way we will fully feel whole. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I embody light and dark and everything in between. My intention is to empower you to feel the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
