Alluring model in Thousand Oaks California photography studio

Would you rather have a root canal than be photographed? 

If you answered "yes," then you are normal!  Most people hate it.  Most people say they're not photogenic and they've never looked good in photos.  Most people know they need to have their photo taken but they just keep putting it off until that magic day when all of a sudden they will feel perfect and ready for photos. They just need to lose weight, get a tan, have a haircut, etc.  We ALL feel like this. Truly!  But, alas, we know we need to be photographed, and waiting doesn't change anything about how we feel.  IT needs to be done for so many reasons!  

 

Reason One: The modern world is highly image driven.  We live entire parts of our lives online.  We have to show up online for our careers, our friends, and our families near or far. Whenever a profile or app calls for a headshot, we groan and scroll for something that's half-decent and we're surprised that we have almost nothing to choose from. What if you had a nice little stock pile of pics that you feel good about at the ready!

 

Reason Two:  Digital images are fleeting.  We have thousands of images on our phone and don't know where to start to even think about printing them. Also, tech is always changing and who knows if you will even be able to print them down the line.  Can we say CD's or VHS, anyone?  Pro-photos make it easy to know how and what to print. 

 

Reason Three: Goals!

  • Do you want stand-out images as an actor looking to stop the casting director's scroll? 

  • Are you looking for classic and beautiful wall art or albums for your personal memories?

  • Are you having a photoshoot to celebrate a special achievement, a birthday, a graduation, a wedding, a retirement?

  • Are you having a baby and you want to have incredible images to remember this magical and radiant time in your life, plus the birth, plus the first few weeks after when your life has changed! 

  • Are you looking to feel empowered and beautiful? 

  • Do you need a polished, professional online look for career growth?

  • Are you an entrepreneur who knows that pro-photos will bring you more money by raising your professionalism?

  • I will help you through every aspect of a photoshoot so you feel good about it!

TRUST ME, IT'S NOT JUST YOU.

I became a photographer because I'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it!

But I also knew that if I want to be a part of the world, I had to show up for it. So I figured, why not at least take control and create the best, most personally connected images possible?  If we have to do it, it might as well be great.   

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

As the world advances, so does the concept of headshots and portraits.

The "keep-every-hair-in-place, stand by a tree, say 'cheese' and smile" shot is a thing of the past. 

To stand out, stop the scroll, or make someone gaze upon the wall art in your home, 

personality and connection are key,

NOT PERFECTION.

AI is for perfection.  Real photography is for memories and authenticity!

 

People crave connection and want to see who you are in a photo! 

You DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT. 

Perfect is boring! 

Our imperfections are a big part of what makes us all unique and interesting!

My objective is to make you feel at ease and natural so your true self shines. I strive to capture photos that actually look like YOU at your best, so you feel good about using them whenever you need a REAL photo of yourself online, up on a wall, or in a pretty album.
