Raw Beauty Photo Sessions
Empowering women to explore their bodies through fine art portrait photography and mixed media art. The focus of this session is to help women celebrate their bodies, removing the patriarchal and colonized perception.
I currently serve Wisconsin, Indiana & Illinois.
I make feel-good art for Women of Color. Art that we get to look at and see ourselves. Art that has purpose and meaning and brings healing to our homes.
I work with Women of Color, to remind of us our beauty, our power, our vulnerability, our gentle and nurturing nature. To remind us that we are worthy of all the beautiful and abundant lives we desire.
Explore. Expose. Express.
De-sexualizing what is natural, beautiful and powerful. Embracing hips, breasts, bellies, ass, and thighs. Loving on our stretch marks, body rolls, beauty marks, scars and so-called blemishes. Removing the stigma of being unclean, impure, and unworthy. Removing the psychosis that we are less than, based off of any comparison that could ever be made against us. To help Black Women reclaim our innocence, to reclaim our stories and create a narrative that expresses our TRUTH!
Powerful. BeYOUtiful. Authentic.
Whether fully dressed or tastefully nude, Raw Beauty shoots help women to celebrate their bodies and appreciate them from the inside out. Sometimes we know we look good on the outside, but need a little bit of encouragement when it comes to our inner confidence. I strive to help women embody themselves, no matter age, orientation or ability, shape or size! These are more than just shoots. They are a conversation between you and the camera. Each session we create tells your story and brings your authentic, beautiful and abundant self to the forefront!

The Process
These sessions are conducted in my cozy and intimate photography studio and in beautiful natural locations that I adore! I love combining the power of nature, with the glory, power and beauty of our bodies! This session does not include make-up, as I would like to showcase your natural state, however, you are welcome to wear your own if you desire. When the booking process begin, you have the option to connect with me via phone or my personal favorite video chat. I love to meet face to face and get to know you a bit before we begin our journey together! Below you will find the process and what the session includes!
01
Setting A Date
I believe in giving each session time to breathe. Each session is a minimum of 1.5 hrs, however, I also want to take the pressure off of you, so you can fully relax and enjoy yourself without worrying about having enough time. Doesn't matter if we roll over into a couple of hours or even a few. All you need to do is pick a date and time and leave the rest to me!
03
Session Day
Nervous, feeling a little unsure- don't worry about it! I will guide you through each moment! Worried about finding the right pose? I got you covered! I will share simple and flattering poses that help you feel comfortable and confident! We will bring to life what we discussed during session planning, and go with the flow of creativity!
02
Session Planning
Once we complete the booking process, we will connect again to discuss your shoot location, vibes & wardrobe! You can be sexy, fierce and mysterious, you can be cozy, relaxed and chill, you can be meditative, prayerful and at peace, you can even be angry, enraged or grieving. Whatever part of yourself you choose to share is enough and worthy of a beautiful session!
04
