About

Welcome!

The question I get most often about my style of photography is: why do you specialize in glamour/couture portraits of women?  The simple answer is I believe it is every woman’s right to look and feel drop dead gorgeous!

The more detailed answer:  I bought into (and still do sometimes) the hallucination that I wasn’t good enough, pretty enough, thin enough based on what I saw in magazines and on television.  Then I started to get a glimpse of what *really* went on in a magazine photo shoot…

Through photography classes in high school and college, I was taught about flattering angles, lighting, shadows, blur and other tricks to make models look great on film.  Yes, film; I’m an old timer!  Out of college, I also trained as an esthetician and makeup artist, and learned a lot MORE tricks about skin, air brushing and the like.   Add digital media and Photoshop years later and voila!  Anyone can be morphed into the epitome of perfection.

(While we’re on the subject: as an esthetician, I worked on “every day women”, models, singers, dancers and Hollywood stars in a Beverly Hills spa.  I’ll tell you a little secret about the models and stars—only ONE of those women in the magazines looked like that in real life.)

Sadly, I started to notice in my friends, clients and myself the obsession with that kind fake perfection.

So, when I started to feel like I was too old, too mom-ish, too frumpy, too whatever, I took  photos of myself and I was transformed by what I saw.  My friends saw the portraits and asked me to take glamour photos for them.  They were amazed by how they felt, too! An obsession was born…I went down the glamour “rabbit hole” and haven’t looked back!  I am so blessed to be creating that amazing feeling for every woman who comes to me for beautiful portraits.

I am one hundred percent devoted to making you feel good about the body you’re in, to really see yourself as the living, breathing goddess you are and how a lover sees you.  I promise you will see yourself in a whole new light!
