In 2024, San Diego’s dancers will be etched forever in art. Driven by how dance moves me, expect portraits dripping in strength and grace. The goal? To showcase fine art in motion. Stay tuned.

When talking to clients, they often ask, “What am I going to do with so many pictures of myself?” The simple answer is that you’re going to love them, plain and simple. Also, having more than one image means that you can update your profile picture more often. That’s good because people pay attention to your profile pictures. The same picture month after month gets stale. Updating it with the seasons is a fun way to keep your visual profile looking fresh all year long.

Here’s a tip for the fall…Did you know that at n**es are the new neutrals and the new black! They convey warmth, approachability and staying current. Also, there is a n**e shade for everyone.

Are you interested in updating your visual presence with a personal branding session? DM to schedule your consultation today!!

When people think about having their portraits taken, they might think that is all very stiff and serious. It doesn’t have to be like that. Of course, to really show all sides of a person, you want to have a mix of different poses and expressions. I take the time to guide all of my clients through each pose and their expressions so that I deliver real, authentic images. Some of the poses may feel weird but I can tell you that they always look amazing. Also, to create these images, I tailor my clients experience to them and their personality and what they want from the session. We listen to music, laugh and sometimes cry but we are always having fun. Portrait photography is a journey. Into the soul of the person in front of my camera. It’s a reflection of who they are at a given moment. Does this sound like fun? DM me to set up your consultation. I want to learn more about you and what your want from your session.

Let’s talk about personal branding today. I know it’s the latest buzz word around the photography community so let me take a few minutes to let you know what it is and how it can help your business.

A personal brand is the idea people get from the information that they find about you online and how they perceive you in real life. Your personal brand is what sets you apart from everyone else in your field and it helps you connect to your ideal client while reeling those that are not a good fit for you. For example, not so long ago, a proper businesswoman’s headshot was with her wearing a blue or black blazer, not showing any piercings, covering tattoos, and having your hair in a conservative fashion. If that speaks to your brand today then that’s awesome because that is a reflection of who you are. However, if your brand identity consists of purple hair and a nose ring, then rock what makes you, you. When you show up as your most authentic self, then your ideal client will find you and will want to do business with you.

When I’m talking to women at networking events, I often run across one or two that feel that are too old to have a photoshoot. Let’s face it, we all have a few more wrinkles this year than last year. But that is because we were all fortunate enough to have traveled another year around the sun and in that year there were good times —with probably a few bad times sprinkled in there, as well. We can’t run away from our wrinkles just by breaking out the anti-aging serums and creams — although they do help. I am probably one of the biggest offenders of wanting to ward off the wrinkles and age. I’ve spent years trying to outrun something that is going to happen whether I liked it or not. But its always my wise children that remind me that they love me just the way I am and it doesn’t matter to them whether or not I look old— they are just glad that I am here with them. So let’s celebrate our age and jump in front of that camera and take amazing pictures because in truth, today we are the youngest that we are ever going to be.

So many women tell me that they aren’t interested in a photoshoot because they aren’t photogenic. Then they proceed to tell me that they’ve never seen a great picture of them. That’s sad. I think everyone should experience being in front of the camera with someone who knows posing and angles and will help them look their best.  
That is where I come in. When you do a photoshoot with me, you are going to start with professional hair and makeup — not to make you more beau
tiful but to show off your natural beauty. Then I will fully guide you through all the poses. Yes, some of them feel a little strange but that’s ok because the end result is amazing! You will finally have images where you look beautiful and confident. You will wonder why it took you so long to do a photoshoot.

Let’s talk about what how you want to be photographed. DM me to schedule your consultation.

Are you thinking that you are not quite ready to book a portrait session because you need to lose a few pounds? I know exactly where you’re coming from. I thought the same thing….When I lose some weight, I’ll look better and then I’ll set up a session. I watched what I ate and I walked and I tried to lose weight. Did it come off? No. Then I ended up having two surgeries and guess what, my stomach is now puffier than that it was before.

With that being said, I dove in and had my pictures taken. I enjoyed getting my hair and makeup done and the shooting was fun. When I saw the pictures, I was surprised that I looked so good. My husband and my girls commented on how beautiful my images were. Then, I thought, maybe I should do this again and I will.

If you are on the fence about scheduling your portrait session, there is no time like the present. You are perfect just the way you are — You are enough!

DM me to schedule your photo shoot today!!

BTW…this lovely lady is the beautiful Ashanta, who is fierce and gorgeous and I’m honored to have captured this picture of her.
