WHO AM I?

Now that I got your eye rolling attention, I just wanna tell you...I'm not the HEY GURL type. 

Like, at all. 

I have a visceral reaction when I hear HEY GURL! 

I don't know why. I just do. It seems super disingenuous to me when people say it.

I am also NOT a professional. In any sense of the word. I'm a shitty business person. I have absolutely zero interest in trying to talk you into doing a session with me.  I never ever want to hear that you were waffling in your decision but I made it too hard to tell me no. EVER. Apparently, this makes me a shitty business person. I have never claimed to be a salesman. I quite genuinely don't want to be. 

I'm an artist. I'm a woman's woman. I want you to come to me because you like me as a person, you like what I do, you feel safe with me. I want you to come to me because you trust me, you feel like our vibes match, our personalities mesh. 

I very much suck at social media. I hate my voice on audio/video. So I refuse to do those hokey Tiktoks and reels. I KNOW I SHOULD be doing them. I've been told by many other photographers that it boosted their clientele so much but I quite literally can't bring myself to do it! Lack of confidence? Imposter syndrome? I don't know. But it's just not ME.

I also swear. A lot. The F word and me are BFFs. HOWVER, I am a grownup and I don't swear until you swear first. But I'll be honest, Frances and I wait with bated breath for that first F bomb to drop and then it's on like Donkey Kong!

I have RAGING, unmedicated ADHD. Well, self diagnosed, but it's pretty friggin apparent.

I hyperfocus on my editing. Legit nothing else in the world matters until I'm done.  Which leads me to getting my sessions edited within 24 hours of your session. 48, If I force myself to pay attention to quite literally anything else. 

I was trying to make this blog post and a kid and a husband kept interrupting me and I lost my shit. If I lose my train of thought, it's next to impossible for me to get it back. 

I want you to come see me.  I want you to love your experience with me. I want us to build that relationship, where you feel safe with me.  

I've shot these sessions myself, I know how you feel! I know you're nervous and scared of how you'll look. I put myself in the same position as you, so I can feel your trepidation. 

I am not now, nor will I ever be that HEY GURL girl. I'm the "I'll be here when you're ready" girl, and I'll never change that.
