My favorite type of art to create is intimate, emotion-driven portrait photography, especially sessions that tell a story and capture real connection. I’m most drawn to motherhood, boudoir, and women’s empowerment sessions, where I get to help people feel seen, confident, and beautiful exactly as they are. For me, it’s not just about taking photos, it’s about creating a space where genuine emotion can exist and be preserved forever.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real emotion and everyday moments, the connection between people, especially in motherhood and women’s empowerment. I’m also inspired by natural light, the changing seasons, and the unique stories each person brings in front of my camera.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in growing my photography business by upgrading equipment, enhancing my studio, and creating unique, immersive sets for my clients. I’d also focus on marketing to reach more people and expand my brand. A portion would go toward giving back by offering free or discounted sessions for women, mothers, and families who deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and confident.
