Your desire for creative play doesn’t die after grade-school.

You’re just told there’s no place— no NEED— for it in your adult life.

The 9-5 grind has no room, no need, for anything that isn’t a cog, a conveyor, or a bottom line.

So you turn it off. Tuck it away. Pretend *you* don’t need it either.

But if your creative heart has felt dormant or too-softly beating for too long...
You have the power to awaken it.
If a certain element of whimsy, self-expression, or escapism is missing from your day to day life...

You have the power to seek it out.

Book your fully customized, transformative portrait experience today by visiting the link in bio or emailing [email protected]

PS: You can still save 38% off your session fee now until this Sunday July 19th!

A deep and vulnerable conversation between me and my most experienced client 🥰

If you're a woman seeking more opportunities for empowerment, inspiration, community, and creation, I invite you to join my email list. As a fine art portrait artist, I help women celebrate all of their life's milestones through fully customized luxury portrait sessions.

I tell you it’s more than just a photoshoot.

But nothing breathes life into those words more powerfully than hearing what that photoshoot represents to the women who experience it–

And even I need the reminder. 🥰

In my most recent post I’m sharing a deep and vulnerable conversation between myself and my dearest client.

In her words, her (many!) photoshoots have nourished a part of her that had “withered for far too long”. 🥹

To read more about our conversation, click the link in my stories or comment WATERED to receive it in your DMs!

And if her words and experience move you, there’s still time to book a portrait experience with a 38% savings built in— now until this Sunday July 19th.

YOU’RE INVITED:
Celebrate Your Inner Leo! 🔥

My (pre) Birthday Sale could not be more LIVE right now!

This isn’t an excuse to celebrate yourself.
It’s a necessity.

Embracing yourself, recognizing your own power, was never meant to be optional.
Society just has a way of convincing us it is.

Because just imagine a world in which women aren’t second-guessing the sound of their own voices...
A world in which we wield our creative energy like a bolt of lightning...
A world in which the legacy we’re writing is our unrelenting super power...

Damn, doesn’t that feel electric?
But imagination in and of itself does not change the world.
Action does.
Belief does.
Commitment does.

Can a photoshoot change the world?
Maybe not on its own.
But it can revolutionize your world, and that’s a blindingly beautiful start.

The audacity of Leo Season dares you to step into that world.

Book your transformative portrait experience today, and save 38%, now until Sunday, July 19th.

It’s not my birthday month if I’m not passing along a gift to you, and it’s time I announce what that 🎁 is:

In honor of my 38th birthday, I’m gifting you 38% off of your session fee when you book your Fine Art Portrait Experience for 2026!

BONUS GIFT: For returning clients only, I’m doubling up by gifting you $250 in spending credit towards your final artwork! 🙌

The Catch: You’ll Only Have 1 Week to Make Your Move ♛

I’ve over-committed in the past (as I tend to do 🦁) by allowing this special offer to be available throughout all of July–

And while that’s fun, it also keeps my attention split between celebrating with you and stepping away to celebrate with friends and family. 🎉

So, here’s the solution:
The booking window is open for only ONE WEEK:
July 12th-19th.

Then it’s closed– and it will be the final sale of 2026.

So, Beauty, mark your calendar for July 12th and prepare to celebrate yourself as an Honorary Leo!

If you want to be the first through the Leo Gateway, comment LEO and I’ll get you on the list!

Y’all have lost your minds over this dress 🔥, so I think she’s earned a permanent place of worship on the feed!

(Does that make me a fashion influencer now?! 💅🤓)

Hey Beauties and Bosses, I’m Chanel. I’m your local St Pete, Florida multi-passionate artist with a particular fixation on fashion, fine art, and fantasy.

You’ll see this all shine through in my portrait work that empowers women to celebrate and center themselves in their own stories.

You’ll also catch me writing about powerful, whimsical, legendary women (and their men) in my creative writing work, as I’ve re-entered my writing era (and there’s really no stopping the flow now!). If you find yourself drawn to many passions and forms of expression, welcome! I’m holding the space for us to be all the things, whenever and however we want! 🙌
