Photography – San Jose

Love creating soft, beautiful, thought-provoking images that capture the inner Goddess and energy of my subjects. It all started when I was asked to do a headshot for a friend. I realized how much I enjoyed creating artful images, not just \"portraits\", but pieces that my models/subjects could look at and be amazed at their own beauty, much more than just photographs of themselves. I wanted to \"paint\" a portrait\" or beautiful image rather than shoot a photograph and that\'s what I try to do with all the images I take. I love working with models of all ages, sizes, and colors as well as the girl-next-door who has never been professionally photographed. Every woman has their own special beauty. Bringing that special beauty out in a relaxed and fun atmosphere can be a life changing event as the images that result can do wonders for self esteem and soul!
