She Is Campaign

SHE IS: BEAUTIFUL, BOLD, ELEGANT, FIERCE, SEXY, STRONG.

Now is your time to shine, to celebrate all of you. It is your time to be pampered, to tell your story, to show the world that Midwest style, your unique beauty.

You are worthy of beautiful images. You are enough and you deserve the hair and the makeup, the lights, and recognition.

what's this all about?

The "She Is" Movement

The "She Is" Photoshoot Experience is for women looking to step up and invest in themselves.

I want you to experience the power of photography and I want to capture who you are in this moment. You are a badass and have a story worth celebrating.

Over the years, I have photographed thousands of women from multiple cities across the Midwest and have made it my mission to help everyone embrace their power through the transformative experience of a photoshoot.

Alongside the photoshoots, I have created special projects that highlight the stories of the women who have stepped in front of my lens. Most recently my studio created a magazine (which you can read if you scroll down the page).

And now, I invite you to not just book a photoshoot with me, but to also be a part of my documentary series celebrating women at every age.

Want to just book the photoshoot experience? You are more than welcome to! The best part of the "She Is" experience is that is the same price as my signature photoshoots, there are just a few optional perks that you get with it!

Now is your time to shine! Whether we go full glam with hair, makeup, and an evening gown, or simple and chic with a shoot in boots and a blazer, this is all about what makes YOU unique.

These are images worthy of Vogue Magazine - worthy of YOU and all of the things that you are, all the roles that you play. This is an opportunity to see yourself through my lens, a true expression of how amazing and beautiful you are, and I cannot wait to photograph you in this way.

Special Sets & Wardrobe Pieces

frequently asked questions

Do you provide outfits or help me figure out what to wear?

Yes and no... I do not provide any lingerie due to sanitary reasons. BUT I do have some pieces at the studio you're welcome to use. These are pieces that go OVER any lingerie or underwear you bring. The studio wardrobe has basic items like button down shirts and robes as well as specialty pieces like the angel wings, tulle robes, etc.

I will guide you through what to wear, how to find outfits, and what you can use that you may already own for your session, so you have nothing to worry about there :)

I've never done a photoshoot before and I don't know how to pose. Will you help me?

Yes of course! My job as your photographer is to guide you through the whole experience. Like 95% of my clients have never had a proper photoshoot before (or if they have, it's been since the days of Glamour Shots)!

I will show you how to move your body and pose you down to the pinky. No worries about "what do I do with my hands" or "I'm worried about having a double chin" or not having photos turn out because you didn't bring a list of poses. I've been a photographer for nearly half of my life now and know how to pose ALL body types and modify poses based on your range of mobility and goals.

Do you offer professional hair & makeup styling?

Yes, included in your session is professional hair and makeup styling for one person (if booking a session for multiple people, you can add it on for $175/person - perfect if you're being photographed with others who also want that extra bit of pampering)! I have vetted all of my stylists so they can work with all skin types, ages, etc. And yes, this includes being able to work with natural hair.

Can I bring someone with me to the session?

Yes of course! As long as the person you are bringing is a nice, supportive person. In fact, most of my clients bring a friend to share the day with. You don't have to be photographed together necessarily, but could do back to back sessions with maybe a few images taken together in between.

I always say: a day shared is often more fun and even more special.

What kinds of products do you offer?

I have offer a variety of custom and heirloom products. The most popular items are digital files, wall art, and albums. After booking in, you'll get a copy of our Products guide with more info on everything we offer and the options to upgrade your package.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes I do! We offer financing through PayPal Credit or Affirm and in-house layaway plans with no interest. Layaway means you can pay off your order over time, and when your payment is finalized you will receive your products.
