From Maternity and Boudoir portraits all the way to Family or High School Senior sessions in the park, and of course Corporate Headshots and Advertising images, I take every photograph with great pride and attention to detail.
I am a graduate with a Bachelor's f Fine Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts, with a concentration in Architectural Studies. From there I worked for several area firms, as a corporate interior designer, and then design-related outside sales covering portions of four states.
My passion is creating empowering and uplifting creative photoshoot experiences...In-studio, On-location, in special EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS, and RETREATS!
I can't wait to share this passion with you!
For my photography, Boudoir is where it all began.
I find it deeply meaningful to help another person make peace with their body.
Aside from being the hand-chosen Boudoir Photographer for the exclusive Chateau Douillett in Springfield, MA, I am versed in the lighting and posing techniques that benefit every figure! I refer to my editing style as 'buff and polish'. I take great care to produce images for your purchase that are smoothed, shadowed, and highlighted without changing your figure.
You are a real person and your curves and edges are beautiful!!! I will remove what you tell me to: scars, blemishes, bruises, even tattoos. You have artistic control during and after the shoot: I play music you like, allow you to bring drinks and snacks and keep them cool in my studio's mini fridge and wine fridge, you choose your set(s) according to your shoot type, I work with you on styling - including application of makeup and wardrobe (often pulling from my own extensive wardrobe, which is one of the largest in New England), and I even encourage you to bring a 'cheerleader' / hype person!
A lot of people enjoy having a friend or their partner present during their shoot, to encourage them and tell them and it gives me a willing assistant (without charging you more to bring in a stranger as an assistant).
Let's make this an experience to remember, Gorgeous!
Do you remember the fun of going to the mall for outrageously glamorous photos back in the 80's?
Well, in my studio, I now offer the more 'Modern and Edgy' OR 'Over-the-Top Glam' Images for women and girls of all ages!
I can do your makeup and lashes, and even style you with my extensive wardrobe. Turn it into a girls' night out or Bachelorette!
(Please see my new blog on my first ever EMPOWERMENT RETREAT!)
Immerse yourself (and friends!) on location in the artistic photography experience that will create a lifetime of memories!
From lovely settings to truly spooky and wicked ones, some of these sets are an entire year in the making.
