Through her lens, she brings softness and light to the stories of people, brands, and lived experiences, offering them back to the world as a kind of visual grace. Her deepest passion lies in the portraiture of women, moved by their resilience, radiance, and quiet power. Over the past two decades, she has considered it a sacred honor to capture the beauty and brilliance of Black women, framing their essence in every image.
