Step up.
Stand out.

Bonjour!

I am a portrait artist, branding photographer, and leadership mentor. My work bridges the worlds of fine art, immersive visual storytelling, personal branding, and conscious leadership to create deeply transformative experiences for exceptional women.

For over two decades now, I have explored the nexus of identity, resilience, and deep presence, guiding visionaries, changemakers, and leaders to see themselves with clarity and authenticity. Through my holistic lens, I create more than compelling images: I reveal a story, an essence, a legacy in the making.

My journey has taken me across disciplines and around the world, from academia to the art world, from behavioral science to mindfulness, from photo-ethnographic fieldwork to leadership mentoring... I believe that the way we show up — both in the world and in our own self-perception — shapes everything. This is why my work goes beyond portraits; I offer a reflection of who you truly are and who you are becoming.

​

For those seeking a more personalized transformation, my 1:1 Transformative Leadership Mentoring Program is a must-have bespoke experience. This journey is designed for women who are ready to navigate their inner landscape, align with their purpose, and lead with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Through a blend of mindful leadership practices, strategic personal branding, and narrative work, I guide women to step into their full potential and intentionally elevate their presence.

​

I also share my expertise through keynotes, conferences, and immersive workshops designed to deepen self-awareness and expand leadership potential. My Focus workshop series blends contemplative photography, storytelling, and personal branding to empower women to reclaim their narratives, own their truth, and honor their purpose. My keynotes and conferences explore themes of conscious leadership, trauma-informed resilience, emotional intelligence, and the power of presence in order to equip audiences with the tools to lead with clarity and impact.

​​

Whether through fine art portrait photography, personal branding strategy, leadership mentoring, or empowering speaking engagements, my mission is to help you own your story, embody your core values, and lead with purpose.

​

Let’s create something meaningful together!
