Think professional photography is reserved for CEOs and influencers? Think again!

In today’s digital age, having a strong online presence is essential, and that includes showcasing who you are through visuals. Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, networking within your industry, or representing yourself as a freelancer, high-quality professional photos can create a powerful first impression.

Professional images don’t just enhance your LinkedIn profile; they tell your unique story and reflect your personality, values, and professionalism. Imagine your clients or potential employers seeing you as a confident, approachable individual who takes pride in their personal brand—it can open doors you never knew existed!

Investing in a professional photo session is more than just snapping pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of YOU. From the right angles to the perfect lighting, a skilled photographer knows how to bring out your best features and create an inviting atmosphere.

So why not take that leap? Elevate your professional image and let your personality shine through! Have you ever considered how a fresh set of professional photos could impact your career? I'd love to hear your thoughts—leave a comment or send me a message!

Have you ever stopped to think about the power of a simple bo***ir photo? It’s amazing how one image can capture so much more than just a moment in time—it captures the essence of who you are.

I’m still shocked and bewildered to find out that so many small business owners still do not use professional images of themselves to market their brand online.

So... today, let’s chat about the incredible power of showcasing your authentic self through professional, high-quality personal brand images.

Finding your voice in the digital sphere can sometimes feel overwhelming, right? With so much noise out there, it’s easy to get lost in the filter game or the perfect angle. But here’s the thing: your true self is your greatest asset! When you share authentic images that reflect who you are, you create a deeper connection with your audience.

Authenticity is magnetic! People are drawn to stories and individuals that resonate with their own experiences. High-quality images have the ability to tell your story, capture your essence, and show off what makes you uniquely YOU! Maybe it’s a warm smile, a passion for your craft, or a glimpse into your daily life, but showcasing the real you allows others to see the heart behind the brand.

Investing in professional photography not only elevates your visuals but also builds trust and engagement with your audience. It’s your chance to shine brightly and let your personality take center stage! So, are you ready to embrace your authentic self and create a visual narrative that captivates?

Let’s capture those incredible moments together! Drop a 💕 below if you’re excited to showcase your authentic self and let’s chat about how we can bring your vision to life!

Meet ShaTerra, one of the incredible women standing tall in my "F**k the Patriarchy" project!

She boldly made signs and had this powerful message about participating: "I am angry and tired of men trying to dictate our bodies and what we do. I’m tired of the hate and tired of no peace. I want to empower others to do the same and join in the fight with us. To know they can have a voice too."

Together, we can amplify these voices and create change! What empowers you to fight for your rights? Drop a comment and let’s keep this conversation going!

In the aftermath of an election that has left waves of fury and heartache in its wake, it's women like Kelsey who remind us that our voices are more powerful than we realize. As a dedicated social worker and a visionary non-profit entrepreneur, Kelsey refuses to stand by and let despair take over. Her determination to fight through her work and on a personal and community level inspires a revolution in the face of adversity.

This is what the heart of my "F**k the Patriarchy" project is about - channeling our collective anger into a force for good, proving that when we come together, our fury can pave the way for hope and transformation. Kelsey's commitment to not only addressing but actively combating the feelings of heartbreak, disenchantment, and isolation echoes the very essence of what we stand for.

Her story is a powerful testament to the strength that lies in unity and the impact of turning personal battles into communal victories. It's about more than just fighting back; it's about reimagining our future through the lens of solidarity and support.

So, to every woman out there feeling defeated: let Kelsey's story be a beacon of hope. Let it be the reminder that your anger, your frustration, and your pain can be the very thing that binds us together and drives us forward. Because when we stand together, we are unstoppable.

Are you ready to rise up and channel your energy into making a tangible difference? Let's unite, share our stories, and show the world the power of women angry for change. Drop a comment below or send a direct message to join us. The future is waiting for us.

Meet Brandilyn, a warrior in our latest spotlight for the F**k the Patriarchy movement. Her courage to stand tall comes from a place of survival and solidarity.

"I'm a domestic violence survivor, and like every woman I know, have faced the shadows of sexual harassment or assault. With a predator leading our country, our silence ends NOW," she declares.

Her message, emblazoned on her shirt, 'If you are not angry, you are not paying attention,' serves as a clarion call to us all. Let's amplify her voice—because together, we're unstoppable.

Are you ready to join Brandilyn and make your voice heard? Drop a 💙 in the comments or share your story to stand with us.

Meet Penny, the first woman I'm introducing from the "F**k the Patriarchy" project.

From her college days exploring the depths of sociology, family studies, and human sexuality, Penny opened her eyes wide to the injustices of the world, transforming her from a small-town girl into a formidable advocate for human rights. Amidst an election year that promised change and yet delivered despair, Penny's resolve only strengthened.

Her voice, fiery and unyielding, calls out the systemic oppression that threatens to dictate the choices women make over their bodies and futures. She refuses to stand by as decisions about personal health are commandeered by those who have never walked in our shoes.

Penny's courage is not just for her, but for hope— hope that our daughters, and all future generations, will inherit a world where equality isn't just a dream.

Let's rally with Penny and forge a path of resistance, empowerment, and unshakeable hope.

Today, as the world watches a new chapter unfold on Inauguration Day, we pull back the curtain to reveal the heart and soul of a movement that defines courage and resilience. ‘F**k The Patriarchy’—more than just a bold statement, it’s the echo of our collective heartbeats, a chorus of voices from women who’ve decided to reclaim their power, defy the odds, and stand up for what they believe in.

Each image we share is a mirror reflecting bravery, struggle, and an unwavering commitment to push against the currents that seek to hold us back. These faces, each carrying a unique story, unite us in our diversity and remind us of the battle we’re all fighting together.

In the coming weeks, prepare to be moved, inspired, and transformed as we share one story at a time from these phenomenally strong women..

Behind every story, there’s a rallying cry for justice, and a call to action for all of us to rise up, link arms, and say with one voice, ‘F**k The Patriarchy.’ This movement isn’t just about fighting back; it’s about forging a new path where every woman can walk in her truth, unapologetically and freely.

Are you ready to stand alongside these warriors in the arena of change? Let’s show the world what happens when women come together, fueled by passion and driven by a desire for true equality. Comment 💜 if you’re with us, ready to make history, and rewrite the rules for future generations.

Ever noticed how a close-up headshot can capture the essence of a person in a way that words just can't?

Through the lens, I strive to reveal not just how people look, but who they are at their core. The twinkle in their eye, the curve of their smile, every detail tells a part of their story. This is the magic of close-up headshots - they’re intimate, powerful, and profoundly beautiful.

Want to see yourself in a new light? Drop a comment or send me a direct message. Let's capture the beauty that is uniquely you in a close-up portrait. Ready for your close-up?

Have you ever felt the power of a photograph? The way it can transport you, tell a story, and connect you with someone on a deeply personal level? That's the power of professional photography. It's not just about having a high-quality image; it's about capturing the essence of who you are in your own space.

In today's digital age, where everyone's fighting for attention online, a professional photograph does more than just stand out. It communicates your authenticity, your passion, and your unique story. It invites your followers and potential clients into your world, offering them a glimpse of the real you behind the brand. This isn't just beneficial; it's essential in building a relationship with your audience based on trust and genuine connection.

But why does this matter? Studies show that people are more likely to engage with and trust a brand or individual who presents themselves authentically online. Your followers want to know the person behind the posts. They crave real connections in a sea of curated content. By sharing professional photos of you in your space, you're not just showcasing your environment; you're sharing your journey, your ethos, and your values.

This is your chance to tell your story. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, or artist, your audience wants to see the real you. They want to support someone they believe in, someone they feel connected to. And nothing bridges that gap quite like a photo that captures your essence.

So, I invite you to think about how you can reveal more of yourself and your story through professional photography. How can you use the power of imagery to deepen your connection with your audience?

If you're ready to bring more of you into your online presence but not sure where to start, why not start a conversation below? Share your thoughts or drop a DM. Let's embark on this journey of authentic connection together. What story do you want your photos to tell?

Meet Your Photographer

Hello love! My name is Dorothy, and most days you will find me behind something. That is not to say that I am hiding. You will find me behind a computer editing photos for my amazing clients, or crunching numbers for a tax return. I may be behind my family loving and cheering them, or behind a great book getting lost in a fantasy. I am often behind the stove in my kitchen making some new and (hopefully) fantastic dish for my family to devour. You will frequently find me behind a camera capturing that special moment worth preserving forever.

​I married my best friend on a gorgeous, unseasonably warm day in October of 2005. Not only did I gain a husband, but also my first child, a step-daughter. In 2008, we welcomed our son into this world. In 2013, after having a miscarriage in 2011, we finished our family when our daughter was born. It was then that I started taking photos. It began as a hobby, and certainly has grown since!

We enjoy to hop in our camper and run off to someplace new to relax and sightsee. I love to experience life, spend time with my family, and go for a gorgeous hike. In fact, I am always looking for someone to hike with, so please keep me in mind next time you go!

I am a pretty simple woman living a pretty simple life. I do not need fancy things to make me happy. Give me my camera on a gorgeous day, and I will give you a happy lady and a beautiful photo!
