In a world that puts a camera in every hand but is quick to shame the selfie, our mission is to
create a safe and supportive environment for female self-expression.
Do you take selfies? Why or why not? A modern form of self expression: The Selfie. Some see it as vain or pointless and silly. But me? I see it as a very personal form of #ArtTherapy. Before a bed-ridden Frida was painting herself as a way to pass time and self-medicate, we were depicting ourselves and our lifestyles on cave walls... I think you know where I'm going with this. There's nothing vain or silly about the "art of the selfie". It's innate. You can watch me explore this therapeutic, self-love practice in my Sexy Selfie Tutorial. All the tools you need to feel more comfortable in your skin and take photos of yourself that you'll love.
Studies have shown that by looking at photos of ourselves we not only become more used to what we are seeing, but also our brain literally recreates the same chemistry it had the day you did your amazing session! When you trigger that beautiful memory of feeling sensual, amazing, confident, and strong while we laughed, maybe even cried, and shared the day together, your brain will give you a surge of empowerment! This guide will help guide you through the feels that may come up while you're experimenting with self-portraits. Protect yourself, from yourself.
While attending school at the School of the Art Institute I began taking self-portraits out of convenience. With no models waiting for me I spent hours locked in my bedroom teach myself posting, lighting and editing. It wasn't until years later that I reflected on the profound impact that documenting my body in images that I loved had on my self-love and body acceptance journey. I knew in that moment that I wanted to bring my experience to others as a form of alternative wellness. We must get comfortable seeing our bodies if we want start being more comfortable in them. Let's get comfortable being uncomfortable.
As an Empowerment Photographer for over 10 years I have collected my favorite tips and tricks for posing and lighting into a 30 minute video tutorial that can be used in any home, or home away from home, to create images you love and are proud to look at on days when you need a little reminder of how bad-ass you really are.
Whether you're looking for a new way to connect to your body or partner, our guide to at-home portraits can be used clothes on or off! Your comfort level is our comfort level and I'm here to challenge you to try something new, something scary.
