Why Bother with a Portrait Session
More than a headshot, these photos will help you connect with your target audience and elevate your brand presence.
No matter your line of work, your picture is in the wild, likely online and possibly in print. Therapists, Healers, Midwives, Coaches, Artists, Musicians…in short, anyone doing anything public-facing could use photos of themselves to communicate with your people. I’m willing to bet that whatever recent portrait of you out there is:
An image of you from 5+ years ago that no longer looks like you.
Taken as a selfie
Cropped just so, but we can all tell someone was standing next to you
Or, you are onto this portrait game and could use some fresh images.
I can help you with this dilemma. There is never a perfect time. The time is now.

A bit about me. And why this offer.For seven years, I ran a thriving family photography business in the Bay Area. Over the course of those years, I began to shift my focus to portrait and brand photography for female creatives and entrepreneurs.
I consider a portrait session a collaboration between me and the women I’m grateful to spend time with. I treat these sessions, my craft, and the people I work with with care and attention. Like the people I photograph, each session is unique. These images can and should be used for headshots, but for me, they serve a broader purpose, which is why I call them portrait sessions.
In 2020, we moved from Oakland to Sebastopol to be closer to our family. It’s hard to break into a new market, and word-of-mouth has always been how I’ve grown my business.
I hope that by creating this offer, I’ll be able to connect with and grow the community I’ve been building for the past four years in this special place.
