I Help Find Beauty In Everyday People Through Luxury Portraits

01/23/2023

Allowing yourself to be photographed requires a lot of courage no matter who you are.

You’re invited to be vulnerable and to trust the person photographing you to make you feel comfortable and safe.

If you ever find yourself taking that leap, I applaud you!

Decades from now, Connie and Jack will be able to look back on these photos and remember the wonderful years they spent together, doing fun & spontaneous things.

As a mom, now Connie can finally be the one in front of the camera, having beautiful photos of herself in exchange for all the years she spent behind the camera photographing her family.

But more importantly they can pass these heirloom portraits onto their children, and their children can pass it onto theirs while creating a legacy for their family to share.

No one can avoid aging, but aging well and with purpose is something else.

It can be a scary word to throw around and the media has never been kind in the way it portrays what it means to be youthful, especially for women 40+.

But just in case you didn’t know here’s a few reasons why being over 40 is a GREAT thing!

It's a big deal because you've successfully made it this far, and have a lot of life experience worth celebrating.

You’re more confident because you don’t care what other people think.

You appreciate life.

You know yourself.

You have learned a lot.

And to be honest, you still have many wonderful years ahead!!

With this same thought in mind I’m going to be starting a campaign that celebrates women who have reached this beautiful milestone and beyond by photographing them as the superstars they are. Please stay tuned for more updates and if you would like to be part of this movement.

The beauty of a free spirit is that experience of trying something new or creative surpasses the fear of being uncomfortable or judged.

When creating these images, my subjects are as much part of the process in making something beautiful and out of the ordinary.

I ask them to be vulnerable and trust me in order for me to do what I do. This is why I appreciate every person willing to stand in front of my lens. I commend they’re bravery and free spirit, even if it’s only for the short moment.

If “comparison is the thief of joy” then acceptance should be the opposite.

We all have things about ourselves that we heavily criticize. Whether it’s our hair, eyes, nose, a certain part of our own self image or even the voice we have.

These so called “flaws” happen to be the very things that make us different and we should accept them as part of us.

Granted that’s easier said than done, especially if he haven’t experienced positive reinforcement before. So why not start now?

Take a moment to look yourself in the mirror (in the n**e if you feel comfortable enough) and instead of pointing out all the things you don’t like, actively search for the things you do love about yourself. Your best features.

Make it a routine to do this and slowly you will mold your thinking and feelings about yourself into a more positive note.

When I first met Nicole, it was through a mutual friend during a weekend trip I took to NY.

I was invited to participate in a collaborative shoot my friend put together with a few people.

Nicole is Filipino-American commercial model who loves to travel with her boyfriend, an adventurer & foodie. She put me on to Spam Musubi, which was made very popular in Hawaii. Don't knock it till you try it.

Needless to say, we hit it off very quickly because she had such a fun personality,
great sense of humor and was exposed to so many cultures not to mention her own.

She was currently pursuing her dreams and had a goal in mind to be someone who could provide more representation for people who looked like her.

Shortly after these images were taken, she was chosen to take part in a casting call for Nike x WBNA based on her updated portfolio. That opportunity certainly
opened new doors for her.

I'm happy to say that she is accomplishing those goals she set out now, as she has
been featured on magazines like Esquire and just finished wrapping up a campaign with Footlocker.

I'm confident that we will continue to see her in magazines, commercials, TV &
maybe some movies.
I hope she can be an inspiration to younger girls that can see themselves in her.

What if you could see yourself in a way you’ve never seen yourself?

We can only ever see ourselves when we look in the mirror and when we do, most people especially women pick apart what for them they consider to be their flaws.

But have you ever wondered how others REALLY SEE YOU? That’s what I am able to do for you. To reveal through beautiful and luxurious images how the people that love you, actually perceive you.

They notice your best qualities and what you may consider a flaw; to them, it is beautiful!

Please feel free to ask me more about a personalized photo session. This goes beyond images but a celebration of you!

“She was powerful not
because she wasn't scared
but because she went on so
strongly, despite the fear.” - Atticus

As a father of 2 beautiful girls I’m constantly correcting myself in how I speak to my daughters. The last thing I want to do is chip away at their confidence.

This world can be brutal at times and ensuring that they know we are here to support them and uplift them is one of my primary goals. Because when those challenges come I want to know that they’ll face it head on and even if it they don’t come out victorious they know they gave it their all.

“Nothing Makes A Woman More Beautiful Than The Belief That She Is Beautiful”

What Makes It So Damn Attractive?

When somebody has true confidence in themselves, it conditions us to
arrive at certain conclusions about their personality and lifestyle.

Most importantly, if we don't have confidence ourselves, it leads us to
believe that they must have many of the traits that we lack. They seem to be
much more powerful. They seem to have superior knowledge. With these
two things, they can keep us safe.

High self-esteem also comes with an inherent skill that is lacking in so many
of us, the ability to think positively.

Think about it, how much time do you
waste wishing you were better or lamenting the fact that you don't have
more of the things you want in life. The confident among us can use this
time and brainpower in more effective ways, they already feel wonderful.
All of these traits help to make confident people into excellent leaders.
Whether or not we wish to believe it, many of us seek powerful leaders in
our lives. It helps guide us and ultimately gives us something to aspire to.

How Can I Be More Confident?

It’s not an inherent personality trait but it is one you can learn.

You can start by FACING YOUR FEARS. It may be something you’ve always wanted to do but you are too afraid to fail. Well the truth is you might fail but that will help you learn to do it better and in turn build your confidence.

The other way is to AFFIRM YOUR CONFIDENCE and you can do that by telling yourself that you are everything you wish to be. “I am confident” “I am Beautiful“ “I’m a great…”.

The last way you can build confidence is by WORKING OUT. Looking good makes you feel good sure but more importantly your body produces endorphins to boost happiness when you exercise. It’s about movement and the more you move the better you’ll feel!
