I truly believe that a woman should be photographed at each stage of her life. You are changing through your life cycle and it shows in your eyes, your attitude towards life and it translates into your portrait as well. We will never be able to bring that moment back, but we can preserve it. The question you need to ask yourself in not now then WHEN?
I photograph women ages 21-60+. I believe each woman is beautiful no matter what age. Each phase of our life is beautiful and deserves attention.
I will create sensual intimate portraits by discovering and bringing forward best parts of your body and inner beauty, make it shine through your eyes. I have the skill, experience and the most important you have my promise and trust that I will deliver the images worthy of a cover.
The main reason is because I am a woman myself and had my share of obstacles in life that I have learned to overcome and still preserve my personality, optimism, big dreams, confidence and beauty. After having a son it has become so easy to forget about my own self worth and beauty. I have made it my mission to show women that we don’t have to sacrifice ourselves and still be those women that we once adored.
I help an everyday woman discover and embrace the sexy, confident and drop dead gorgeous woman within herself.
I have actually decided to give this one a thought, so I could offer solutions. Here is my list.
My solution to that is One of a Kind Experience.
I give women a gift of a day of self love and pampering and an excuse to celebrate themselves. It’s an act of indulgence, overall there is nothing bad with gifting a little time to yourself.
I give these women a gift of self reassurance, a confidence boost, empowerment, show them their beauty in and out. When they come to me they might feel that they are not pretty enough, not skinny enough, not sexy enough and I make them feel that they are more than enough and more. I uncover that amazing woman within.
Women are my primary focus. I do photograph men as well as couples.
Mainly the very personable service. Once you are in my studio you will feel like you are the only client I have instead of feeling like you are one of many. That will make you feel special. A lot of times our clients stay our friends for life because of the level of care they receive in our studio. It is the experience and ease of working with us, quality and professionalism at every step. And I am not even talking about the amazing and unique studio location. Where else would you find historical industrial location. It’s the total package that makes us stand out.
For your studio session – your make up artist. She might also assist us at your session. I may have an occasional assistant. If you want to request minimum personnel than please let me know in advance.
Well if you read this far, I have already touched this subject. But to elaborate a little further, I will show you that you don’t need to be skinny or pretty to be beautiful. You are enough. On top of that posing techniques, clothing, cropping and post production can do some magic and I will help you through that every step of the way.
I will guide you through the process of selecting your clothes during our in studio consultation. I have some options available through my in studio closet, you can shop for your clothes at your favorite boutiques or vintage stores based on the guidelines that I will give you for layers, textures and accessories. There are a number of options for outfits. I usually ask you to bring 5 options with you for different looks.
It’s totally fine, I don’t expect you to. I actively guide you through a posing flow, so you don’t have to stress about it.
I am usually not comfortable in front of camera too, so it is not uncommon. When no one tells me what to do. I have no clue how I look in camera, even despite the fact that I know the rules of posing. I also think that I need to lose a few pounds and I don’t like myself in pictures. However, there are a few photographers out there who I had a privilege of working with. What they do differently – they direct me on my posing and pictures come out so good, even I am surprised and liking the result. It’s about proper direction, and it is my job to direct you, so leave it up to me and I promise you will not even notice the camera. What you will remember is having fun with me as a result.
Preferably as soon as you decided you want to have a session with me. Right now 2 months in advance is a good place to start.
Majority of my sessions are taking place at my studio in Norfolk, VA. The old bakery warehouse that my studio is situated at offers multiple industrial locations for us to use as well. I have an access to a number of rental studios if needed. Your home can also be used if desired. Weather permitting outdoor locations are great too.
The only difference between local and destination session is that the client will be responsible for photographer’s travel expenses, studio rental if needed, all quoted on case by case basis. I can bring my makeup artist with me or I can work with a professional from the area.

I was pregnant with my first son when at 36 weeks gestation I discovered that his heart stopped beating. I did not have good photos of him, so since that moment I promised to myself to document every day of my new son’s life with my camera.
