Dear Reader, "Going through the photos, I discovered things her camera captured that I hadn't noticed about myself before." When my client Alice shared those words with me, I knew exactly why I do this work. Alice originally booked a portrait session for her daughter. When I suggested she step into the frame too, she hesitated — but then she said yes. 👉 Alice shares her experience working together We ended up capturing a three-generation portrait of her mom, her daughter, and herself, which was pure magic. That's what happens when you allow yourself to be truly seen — the camera reveals parts of you that have always been there, just waiting to be noticed. This year, I'm launching something very special: The LUMINOUS Project. It's a celebration of mid-life women, visibility, and the sparkle in you. It's about stepping boldly into the light — not as someone you think you should be, but exactly as you are. I'll be sharing all the details very soon, but for now I'll say this: it's more than a photoshoot. It's an experience. Hit reply if you want to be among the first to hear more. I can't wait to share this with you. |

I started my photography business in 2007 after a stranger came to purchase a baby carrier from my Craigslist ad. She saw a travel photo on my mantle and asked if I'd photograph her child. She persisted after I ghosted her and became my first paid client. One of the images from that session still hangs at Palo Alto Medical Foundation—a reminder of those early days. Some of you also...
Reader, She said, “I’m 65, and I’m not finished.” Hell yes. She’d heard me speak at a summit — and one of my AI portraits, me with a unicorn, stirred something in her. She felt seen. The power of being seen — through AI. Not as “mom” or “grandma,” but as a woman who’s lived many lives and is filled with stories — from her three degrees, two universities in different countries and four/five carreers across different industrires. She told me, “I’ve spent decades showing up for everyone else....
Dear Reader, Recently, I chatted with a relative of a family member. She thanked me for a photo I’d taken years ago of her and her baby daughter — a cherished image that still sits within sight, one of the only ones they have displayed. All these years later, she hasn't stepped in front of the camera again. Her daughter takes selfies of them together, but those stay buried in her phone. They don’t see the light of day. It made me feel both a little sad and grateful that one photo has held so...
