It's a Jeep thang...

03/29/2026

Carrie told me she’s not really a “dress person,” but I’m not sure she sees how gorgeous she really is. In her mind, she’s more the rock climbing, let’s-go-do-something adventurous type—strong, capable, and not afraid to get a little dirt on her hands (and her Jeep tires).

Which is exactly why I wanted her in one of my flying dresses—to show that you don’t have to fit into a mold. You can choose to define your own self-image, instead of letting the media do it for you. A woman can be strong, adventurous, and physically, emotionally, and intellectually strong in the same body. Carrie looked incredible in that green dress out there—and she didn’t have to fit anyone else’s idea of femininity to do it.

That’s the thing I think a lot of people miss. You don’t have to fit into one version of yourself. You can be strong and outdoorsy and still throw on something dramatic and make it work. One doesn’t cancel out the other. This wasn’t about changing who she is. It was just helping her discover another side of it.
And selfishly… I’ve been waiting to get this green dress on someone like her.

If you’ve ever thought, “that’s not really me,”
you might be exactly who I’d pick for this.

And BIG shoutout to my dude, Elio De La Cruz Photography & Films. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an amazing friend and for supporting me in all of my crazy ideas! Can't wait to collaborate with you again!

Calling all seniors who hate photos that look like everyone else’s.
Trust me — I’m just as bored as you.

If you’re good with looking like everyone else, carry on.
But if you want senior photos with personality, keep reading.

At this stage of your life — senior year — you’re in between.
You’re not a kid anymore… but you’re not fully grown yet.

That’s the version I photograph.

The athletes.
The band nerds.
The theater kids.
The creatives.
And especially the ones who don’t fit a label.

The quiet one with strong opinions.
The confident one who’s been ready to graduate since freshman year.
The one who hasn’t quite figured it out yet — but is right on the edge of something bigger.

Worried about what mom wants? I’ll still get the classic shot she’ll frame.
But we’re also getting the photo your friends screenshot.

We’re not doing the same photo everyone else has.
We’re doing yours.

Now here’s the part that makes this interesting.
I’m covering the creative fee for the first six spring sessions.

Spring calendar is open for ONLY 6 creative spots — Adventurous seniors who want something different.
These aren’t mini sessions.
These aren’t forgettable.
They’re built around who you are right now.

Creative fee covered.
$150 retainer locks in your date (applied as a credit).
Quick planning call so we can design it around your personality.
Payment options (including Afterpay) if you want to go big.

Six spots.
Book before March 6.
Sessions completed before April 30.

DM me before you end up with the same photos as everyone else.

These dresses aren’t costumes — they’re part of my client closet.
They’re meant for real women who don’t think of themselves as “photogenic.”

You don’t need modeling experience. You don’t need confidence first.

You just need curiosity — the kind that lets you see yourself a little differently.
More coming soon.

STAY TUNED! Still curious? Email me.

My heart is always full after spending the day in the forest with my favorite guys!

Into the abyss...
Had an incredible day of rappelling and exploring corners of the I’d only heard of from the climbing legends of western NC. I’m humbled and thankful to have been a part of this excursion that produced some incredibly atmospheric photography I’m stoked to share!

On the recommendation of some trusted friends, who happen to be moguls in the outdoor adventure community, my friend David Timothy Luu and myself visited a waterfall in western NC in hopes of seeing a massive pillar of frozen water. We weren’t guaranteed to see it because the “Professor” said that it may have melted by the time we got there Sunday. The trail wasn’t the easiest, but we were definitely greeted with an amazing reward when we arrived!
