ICYMI: Registration is open! ⬇️

My heartfelt thanks to all of the women who expressed interest and completed the availability form for this impactful project. Details are ready and can be found below. Dates and times were selected using the availability survey to accommodate as many participants as possible.

‼️Please read all information in its entirety before registering.‼️

Use the link below to register for the We Are Jane Doe artistic expression photo project, bringing awareness to sexual violence against women in response to recent news of the story of Jane Doe at Cornell University.

Far too many of us have a story of our own, or know a woman who does. We do not owe anyone our silence, and the time is long overdue to stand in solidarity, get loud and demand change.

Registration Fee: $40 Cash Only, Due upon arrival
(50% of proceeds will be donated to Beyond Violence)

Dates: Oct. 11, 4:15PM OR Oct. 25 4:15PM (Please choose one date)

Location: TBD based on number of participants but will be in Berwick

Attire: Anything black and/or teal— Please be intentional/creative with what you choose. The goal is to represent the message that it doesn’t matter what a woman is wearing so we would ideally like to have a variety of apparel— a bathing suit, short skirt, long skirt, crop top, business attire, scrubs, pajamas, etc.

Sign: Bring a protest style sign relevant to sexual violence against women

Please plan for approximately 1-1.5hrs for this project. Each participant will receive access to all group images as well as a minimum of 2 individual images via digital download.

This project will be shared publicly. Please only complete registration if you are comfortable with images being shared on social media.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

If you’re interested in participating in this project, please complete the availability/interest form below. I will work on getting details locked in as soon as possible and release official information and signups this week!

In light of the recent Cornell University headlines, I shared a photo project idea here on my page yesterday. Many of you expressed interest, and I look forward to making impactful art with you.

Many of us have a story or know and love a woman who does. It’s far beyond time to get loud and stand in solidarity.

If interested, please complete the survey below at your earliest convenience.

‼️ I shared this on my personal page, and we had some interest, so I’m sharing this here as well to see what we can put together! Ladies— LET’S GO! Who’s in? Comment below or DM me if you’d be interested in participating in this meaningful project.

According to the CDC, approximately 45% of women in the United States have experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact, coercion or sexual violence, in their lifetime.

If my studio walls could talk, you’d know that 45% is a horrifyingly low number. You’d know that most cases go unreported due to fear of retaliation, shame, or not being believed. You’d know that MORE women than not, all have their own story. Countless stories have been shared with me in the studio. And while it’s an honor to be trusted with something so heavy, it’s straight up heart wrenching that so many stories exist.

And now hearing a story like the Cornell 7?!? You guys, I’m crashing the f out.
I AM SO ANGRY.

This is why I will always take a comfort-first approach when creating art with you and your story while visiting my studio. While I will guide you through every step of posing, facial expressions and more, you still hold the reins of every experience. You will always be in control here.

Many women I photograph have had their autonomy violated. My studio is where they can reclaim that autonomy however they feel comfortable.

This is why we never jump straight into a session and always take time to settle in and share whatever it is you need to put down. This is why details that may seem tiny, will always be prioritized here. Consent will always matter here. I will remind you that your comfort, physically, mentally and emotionally will always come first. You’ll hear regular check-ins throughout your session like:

Is it cool if I fix your hair?
Are you comfortable with hands-on adjustments?
Are you comfortable with this pose?
Do you want more coverage?
We don’t have to photograph anything you don’t want photographed.

Creating beautiful photographs will never be more important than making sure you feel safe while we create them.

You do not have to push through discomfort to prove anything. You do not have to say yes because you think it’s what you’re “supposed” to do during a bo***ir session.

Your no matters here.
Your hesitation matters here.
Your boundaries matter here.
Your story matters here.

In a world that has taken autonomy away from far too many women, I will protect yours every single time you walk through my door.

You spend every morning criticizing your body in the mirror, but one day, we’ll all be six feet under or ash… If I’m lucky, maybe a green burial or plant me with a tree. 🤷‍♀️

We’re all just walking around in these flesh suits we call bodies, yet we act like they’re either taboo to view as art or so wrong to exist in any way other than ‘perfect’.

You don’t have to love your body every day, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a gentle “thank you” every now and then. And when you’re ready to take it to the next level to feel comfortable and confident in your own skin, I’m a text or phone call away.

Remember, confidence can’t exist if you aren’t comfortable. Making you comfortable throughout your whole bo***ir experience is my area of expertise. 😉

I never wanted to be a “content creator” or wanted to “create content”… really just want to create art and empower real women with real bodies. But here we are, so help a girl out 💁‍♀️

Pinch me! Sometimes I can’t wrap my head around the fact that this is real life… it’s so surreal in the best way possible.

Often times after a session, before I close up studio for the day/night, I just plop down in my big comfy chair and soak it all in…

I can’t ever express enough how grateful I am that my full time job consists of helping women to see themselves differently. The amount of trust and vulnerability the guests who visit my studio put in my hands will never be taken lightly.

Forever grateful for you 🫶🫶

Save & try this the next time you see a photo of yourself and your brain immediately becomes your worst enemy.

Before you delete it, zoom in, hide it or say something cruel about yourself, I want you to try this. Describe what you see without attaching judgment to it. (And for f*cks sake, please remember, WHEN THE BODY BENDS, IT FOLDS— at ANY size.)

“My stomach folds when I sit.”
“My arms are resting against my sides.”
“My skin has texture.”
“My smile makes my cheeks bigger.”
“My body looks different from this angle.”

That is it. You are not required to follow it with: “And omg I LOVE IT!”

Sometimes forcing body positivity becomes another exhausting standard you think you are failing, so let’s try neutrality first.

See your body. Describe your body. Stop automatically shaming your body.

A tiny pause can change the entire way you experience photographs of yourself.

If you want to practice seeing yourself with kinder eyes without forcing yourself into fake “I love every inch” affirmations, drop me a little 👋 emoji or comment below. I’ll keep making content about body-neutral ways to approach photos.
