After living in survival mode for most of my marriage, divorce was an awakening. One of the most difficult things to awaken too is a need to find value in yourself. When an addict is in active addiction, many try to keep those closest to them focused on all the things that are wrong with them. That way, you are less able to see what is going on around you. When I needed a way to increase my ability to provide for my family, I prayed earnestly and was given the direction to do photography. Something I had played with but I had never been a “serious” photographer. But when God directs and we listen, He makes away. Things fell into place for me to get education, equipment and even to afford website and insurance. From there it fell on me to decide where my heart lies. My greatest love is what I call slow glam photography. Glamour photography is not boudoir photography, though the terms have unfortunately begun to become synonymous. 

My goal is to highlight the beauty that is already there, not to completely reinvent it. Women struggle for various reasons accepting themselves and the natural changes that come through life events. My goal has always been to have my clients better see the beauty and class that is already apart of who they are. When they look at their images, they see themselves, not an army of hairdressers, make-up artists and Photoshop.  

During covid, I wasn’t able to do this, but I wanted to help. I wanted to do something that would show love for my community. I noticed that the Front Porch Project was taking off around the nation and I wanted to be apart, but I always like to do things a little different. I did not charge people money for their portraits, only their story. This has become a local vehicle for individuals, families and even business owners to share their challenges but also the surprised blessings that have come during Covid. It has been a vehicle for the positive. A place for the everyday person to have a voice.
