Your Portraits, Elevated into Heirloom Art
Your portraits are meant to be seen, felt and remembered. Selected images can be transformed into museum-quality framed prints, handcrafted canvases and custom fine art pieces created to become part of your home and your family’s story.
Every step of your portrait journey is intentional and designed to celebrate who you are with care, creativity and confidence.
-
Start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We'll discuss your goals, the style of portrait you're interested in, and walk through the next steps. Once we’re aligned, a session or commission date will be reserved with a retainer.
-
I offer custom portrait experiences including fine art photography, boudoir, beauty, maternity, family, personal branding, and my signature 40 Over 40 Magazine & Art Exhibition Series. I also create custom commissions that blend photography, digital artistry, and traditional painting.
-
The 40 Over 40 Magazine & Exhibition Series is an ongoing portrait and storytelling project celebrating women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. Each participant is photographed and interviewed, with her portrait and story becoming part of an annual magazine and public exhibition. Now celebrating its fifth anniversary, the series has photographed and interviewed more than 150 women throughout South Florida.
-
Yes. In addition to photographic portraiture, I create commissioned artwork that may combine photography, digital artistry and traditional painting. Each piece is individually developed based on the subject, concept and intended final artwork. Painted works are created at my art studio at Zero Empty Spaces at DCOTA (Design Center of the Americas) in Dania Beach.
-
Not at all. I will guide you throughout your session with posing, expression and movement so you can relax, feel confident and enjoy the experience. No modeling experience is needed.
-
We’ll discuss wardrobe during your consultation and select clothing that complements the style and purpose of your portrait session. Styling guidance is available for every session.
-
Photography portraits are typically ready for viewing within 2 to 3 weeks. Painted commissions may take 6 to 12 weeks depending on the scope and materials. Rush options may be available upon request.
Heirloom artwork may require additional production time depending on the piece selected.
-
Yes. I specialize in heirloom-quality artwork, including framed fine art prints, albums, and museum-grade wall pieces. Your portraits are designed to live beautifully in your home, not just on a screen.
-
Sessions are available in Hollywood, Dania Beach, and on location throughout South Florida, including your home, a curated venue, or an outdoor location.
For commissioned artwork, I can also work from existing photographs or create new reference images. Painted artwork, including painted portraits, is created at my art studio at Zero Empty Spaces at DCOTA (Design Center of the Americas) in Dania Beach, Florida.
