In fact, you're known for taking mundane moments and turning them into pieces of art for your clients.

Me too. Whether it's the antique vase sitting at my kitchen sink or the way the light hit her wedding gown just right, my mind has always been filled with the smallest intricacies of the moments in front of me. It's why I studied fashion design in college, founded a film photography studio, design interiors, and get lost collecting thrift store treasures. And it's why I'm so passionate about making sure your business is visually captivating. I believe that beauty and aesthetics have the power to shape our experiences, bring joy to the mundane, and even increase our bottom line. The photos, props, edits, and colors of your business are not inconsequential....they are the very thing that will help you stand out and live out your fullest potential.
