Some women survive.
Some women rebuild themselves from the ashes.

She is both. šŸ–¤

31 years old. Dakota Sioux.
Marked by experience, resilience, survival, and becoming.

Her tattoos are more than art — they are chapters. Proof of where she’s been. Symbols of what she’s endured and what she’s still fighting for.

There is something beautifully untamed about her.
Strong. Feral. Soft in some places. Steel in others.

And despite everything life has placed in front of her… she is still choosing herself. Still determined to create a better life. Still rising.

That’s the heart behind the Etched experience.

Not perfection.
Not pretending.

Real women. Real stories. Real power.

I cannot wait to create artwork that reflects the strength she already carries. šŸ–¤āœØ

ā€˜She makes you feel so beautiful…’ šŸ„¹šŸ¤

This is why I do what I do.

So many women walk into my studio feeling nervous… unsure… not ā€œphotogenic.ā€

And then something shifts.

They leave feeling confident, radiant, and seen.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this might be it ✨

If you are a woman in your 40’s, 50’s, 60’s or older and you’re ready to feel seen again… this is for you!! DM me ā€œBEAUTIFULā€ for more details!!

Salt Lake City women 40+

I have 5 portrait experience spots left for May and early June.

This experience was created for women who:
• haven’t loved photos of themselves lately
• want to celebrate this stage of life
• are ready to be seen again

You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to feel confident yet.

You just need to say yes.

Comment ā€œMEā€ and I’ll send details.

I’ve been quietly working on something really meaningful…

I’m currently photographing women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s here in Salt Lake City — and the conversations I’ve been having with these women have been incredibly powerful.

So many have told me:

ā€œI almost didn’t do this.ā€
ā€œI was nervous I wouldn’t like how I looked.ā€
ā€œI didn’t think I deserved something like this.ā€

And then they see their portraits.

And everything changes.

This project isn’t about looking younger.

It’s about being seen — exactly as you are now.

I still have a few openings for May and early June, and I’d truly love to include a few more women in this experience.

Would you ever consider doing something like this for yourself?

04/22/2026

Have you ever avoided being in photos…
even when you were right there in the moment?

Not because you didn’t want the memory…
but because you didn’t feel confident being in front of the camera?

I hear this from women all the time — especially in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Some say they don’t feel photogenic anymore.
Some say they’re waiting until they ā€œlose weight.ā€
Some say they just don’t recognize themselves the way they used to.

And honestly… I understand that.

That’s actually why I started photographing women in this stage of life — because I believe you deserve to be seen exactly as you are now.

Not younger.
Not different.
Just you.

I’m currently working on a 40 Over 40 portrait project here in Salt Lake City, and I still have a few spots open.

I also photograph:
✨ personal branding & headshots
✨ bo***ir confidence sessions
✨ upcoming motherhood sessions (with pre-launch bonuses)

But I’m curious…

Would you do something like this for yourself?
Or would you feel nervous?

No right answer — I’d genuinely love to know. šŸ¤

This isn’t just a photoshoot.

It’s a moment where you step out of your everyday role…

and back into yourself.

No rushing.
No pressure.
No expectations to be anything other than who you are.

Just space to be seen — fully, honestly, beautifully.

From the way you’re guided…
to the way your images are revealed…

this experience is designed to remind you of something you may have forgotten:

You are still radiant.
You are still powerful.
You are still worthy of being captured.

DM FABULOUS to experience this for yourself — so you can reconnect with who you are now, not who you used to be.

Black & white photography does something magical with tattoos.

It removes distractions.

Suddenly the lines… the shading… the meaning… become the focus.

The portrait feels timeless.
Cinematic.

That’s exactly why the Etched campaign is mostly black & white.

It honors the art already written on your skin.

Only 12 women will be photographed for this campaign.

DM ETCHED if it’s calling to you. šŸ–¤

Imagine walking past your own portrait every day.

Seeing the art on your skin captured in beautiful black & white.

Not hidden.
Not rushed.
Not filtered.

Just you — powerful, feminine, and unforgettable.

This is the heart behind Etched: A Fine Art Tattoo Portrait Campaign.

These portraits are designed to live on your walls as art.

Only 12 women will be photographed.

DM ETCHED if you want to experience this for yourself. šŸ–¤āœØ

Salt Lake City women 40+ šŸ¤

I have 6 portrait experience spots left for April, and I’d love to fill them with women who are ready to step back in front of the camera.

This experience is for you if:
• you haven’t loved photos of yourself lately
• you keep saying ā€œmaybe somedayā€
• you want to celebrate this stage of life
• you’re ready to feel confident again

You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to feel confident yet.
You just need to be open to the experience.

These sessions include professional styling, guided posing, and a relaxed photoshoot designed to help you feel comfortable and beautiful.

I also photograph:
✨ personal branding & headshots
✨ bo***ir confidence sessions
✨ upcoming motherhood campaign (pre-launch bonuses available)

If one of the April spots might be for you, comment APRIL and I’ll send details.
