About Me
"For Advocate personalities, success doesn’t come from money or status but from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world." - 16Personalities
I am an INFJ -Advocate, Generator, Sagittarius sun/Aries rising. My core values are connection, authenticity, community and freedom. I support my clients best when they are able to be vulnerable, honest, open to feedback, and ready to do the work.
I am a photography consultant, creative business mentor, accountability strategist, thought partner, personal coach, hypnotist, tapping practitioner and meditation teacher.
I have over 20 years of combined experience working as a professional photographer, photography agent, advertising agency art buyer, entertainment and magazine photo editor, consultant and coach. I’ve personally photographed album covers, editorial content and live events with celebrities such as Madonna, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Gwen Stefani, U2 and hundreds more.
I’ve hired photographers to shoot campaigns for companies like UPS, Microsoft, and Capital One. I’ve represented and created winning bids for photographers with brands like Mary Kay, Essence Media and Kendra Scott. I’ve hired and managed teams of photographers, makeup artists and editors to cover events like the MTV Video Music Awards, SXSW, and the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
I work with many types of creatives: commercial and editorial photographers, hair & makeup artists, illustrators, photo reps, coaches and even acupuncturists.
What I've learned from working with creatives over the past two decades, is that confidence and mindset are at the core of success. This is why I have expanded my consulting to offer personal coaching to all creatives using positive psychology modalities.
I am certified in Hypnosis by the IACT and GS Hypnosis.
I am credentialed in Mental Health First Aid by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
I am a certified in coaching through The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology with additional training under Christine Hassler and in Tapping by The Priority Academy and the Gala Darling Method+.

How We Work
I understand the challenges you are facing in managing stress, multi-tasking, editing your work, promoting yourself, understanding an ever-changing market, keeping up with social media, trying to price your services, and in making time to run your business. (And in a pandemic, no less!)
My goal is to help you figure out how to reach your goals and your potential clients in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to who you are, with the time and resources that you have.
When working with me, I want you to leave feeling confident, supported, understood and on your way to making more money with more freedom to do what you feel truly passionate about while leaving anxiety at the door.
I specialize in helping my clients understand their target market and position themselves to appeal to those clients. I help photographers and reps strengthen their websites and social media from the perspective of a potential art buyer or creative director. Once my clients understand exactly who they are targeting with a refined body of work, I then give them a marketing roadmap that is easy to follow and maintain, and the personal support to take more risks and be seen in their business.
My special sauce: Presence, intuition, and being genuinely invested in your success.
I am passionate about equity and diversity. If you feel like you need sliding scale pricing, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
