Portrait Art is about capturing the essence, the heart, of who you are.
It’s also about how you want to feel about your portraiture ~ every time you see it ~
Portraiture is your own, timeless expression of life - your personal story of love and loss, joy and pain, vulnerability and strength, innocence and wisdom … an artistic, visual legacy that resonates through generations, eternally connecting who you are to your past, your present, and to the future beyond.

A SIGNATURE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE is like nothing you have ever experienced in getting your pictures taken.
Yes, I am a photographer, but I will not take your picture.
What I WILL Do…
I will guide you on a journey where you can reconnect with yourself, what your heart desires, and what makes you, you.
I will learn about who you are, what you truly want for your portraits, and more importantly, how you want to feel about them.
I will custom design a portrait session exclusively for you, based on all that you are and all that you want to feel about yourself.
I will work with you, and for you, to create works of art that are timeless reminders of all that you are.
I will do everything in my power to provide you with an EXPERIENCE that is full of self-discovery, self-appreciation, and yes, self-love, for who you are.
Together, we will create an incredible collection of portrait art that captures the true essence, the heart, of all that you are.
So, I will capture you in portraiture, but I will not take your picture.
Besides, I’m betting that you don’t even like getting your pictures taken, right?
Who wants to have pictures of strangers where they know they should see themselves? Who wants to feel like those faces and bodies represent something they aren't loving about themselves? Nobody.
You want to see portraits of yourself, and recognize who you see; and feel good about them. You want to have more than just some random "pictures" that only say you were "here"; you want them to say you lived.
Your photos no longer have to be “just pictures”, they become portraits. They honor all you have been, all that you have loved, lost, and lived through; and it shows all that you are going to be, because you feel that everything you are, is exactly who you are meant to be.
This isn’t anything like “getting your pictures taken”. It is so, so much more.
You are so much more.

Why becoming a “Portrait Art” Photographer was more than a Business Goal - it was Personal.
I finally realized that the disconnect between how I felt, how I looked, and what I wanted to see and feel, was what I had been witnessing in A. I had designed this Portrait Experience journey for all of you, but I guess I also did it for myself; yet I never actually participated in it on my own.
It was a face palm moment. I couldn't believe that something I worked so hard on, with such love in my heart, and believed in so much, was something I never once thought of giving myself.
I was feeling the pressure, or the wisdom, (and the regret), of my first 50 years and I cried. Life is so short, so precious, and such a waste when we don't allow ourselves the magic that was meant FOR US. All of the people we choose to surround ourselves with, the people we bring into this world and have responsibilities to take care of, and the things we do in life, all matter. But, so do we. So do I.
Turning 50 gave me the drive to give my needs and my wants the 1st oxygen mask, and to fill my own bucket up.
I was doing it for me, absolutely. I was also doing it for all the people I have witnessed handing out the masks and buckets to everyone but themselves. I was especially doing it for my children; for my daughter obviously, but also for my two sons. I don’t ever want them to believe that the proclamations that have always heard of "you can be anything you want to be" and "it's awesome to be exactly who YOU ARE, and never let anyone take that away from you" don't apply to you anymore once you become an adult. I want them to understand that for themselves, their partners in life, and for their children, if they choose to have them. We don't know how long we have here on Earth. What a shame it is to push ourselves aside, to ignore who we are, and who we want to become, and risk never actually living that life we want.
Where and when did we lose these all important rights to living our own lives? Where and when did I lose them???
Then it hit me. I had created something amazing for others, to help answer this exact question, but I had never actually participated in the Experience myself. So I did. And that made all the difference.
I made myself a priority. I asked myself what brought me joy, what made me feel alive, what made me, me. And I captured myself while bringing all of those elements to light within me, and I created true portraiture of myself.
I finally created something personal. For me.
I felt. I connected. I celebrated. I honored who I am. For myself, for my kids - and for you.
The personal commitment I made to myself is why I am making the same commitment to you. It’s very much the essence, the heart. of my business to capture the Art of You.
My business is personal.
The more I remembered who I am during that Experience, the more I FELT, and more & more of "me" . seeped out.
I remembered all I had been through, and I FELT STRONG.
I remembered that this body has been stretched for the sake of 3 babies, been squished under the weight of their snuggles, been filled with good food and beverages while surrounded by family & friends, and I FELT LOVE & RESPECT for it.
I remembered that I find the positive in any situation and I FELT CONFIDENT.
I remembered that I am light-hearted & can have fun wherever I go and I FELT PLAYFUL.
I remembered that I am a woman and I am capable of taking care of myself, my children, my home, my friends, and my community, all at once, and I FELT FEMININE and BADASS.
I remembered that I am connected to the energies of my surroundings and I FELT SENSUAL.
I remembered WHO I AM and I FELT ALIVE.
