Introduction

Throughout our photography session, I aim to capture your beauty and uniqueness, ensuring you are portrayed in the most flattering light. I am a published and traveled photographer who specializes in portraiture, lifestyle, and fashion. My most recent work can be seen on my social media page, which I update consistently. Drawing on my experience as a former model, I possess a profound understanding of the dynamics between the lens and the subject. I am committed to making you feel comfortable, providing guidance, and maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout our shoot. My appreciation for natural lighting is reflected in my work, and I thrive on tailoring each session to the unique requirements of every project.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Prices are different and may vary, depending on assignment since they're all so unique. I have fixed photo packages, and sometimes customized.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I usually ask about their vision and the ideas, to make sure that we understand each other. My goal is to emphasize their vision and bring it to life through my lens.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I got my photography degree from Glendale College in 2014. Before that, I had always been taking pictures, but more so as a hobby. I also have previous experience as a model, which I later realized was a great asset to help me understand and communicate with the people that I'm photographing.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

At only 8 months young, my mother submitted me to modeling agencies in Stockholm Sweden (where I'm from), and that's when my journey in the modeling industry started. Throughout my childhood and teen years, up until my twenties, I could be seen in various ads, billboards, and TV-commercials. Modeling was something that I truly loved doing. But being in front of the camera lens also inspired me to be behind it and create art. In hindsight I've realized that my early modeling path, led me onto a passion for photography. It was in 2011 that I decided to move to Los Angeles to fully commit to a career in the photography industry.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with, and continue to work with a countless amount of people from different walks of life; women, men, children, and teens. Some that are well known public figures, as well as everyday people, who want to share their story or share a message through their photo(s) on their social media, websites, or just with family and friends. I love that I get to meet such a mix of people, it always makes it exciting for me! My work has been seen in a variety of publications such as Vogue Italia, Essence, Brides, LA Style Magazine, Locale, to name a few. Some of my clients include; Nike, Hello Giggles, Aeries, McBride sisters, Service King, and more.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I started my own magazine last year, which I'm very passionate about. It has allowed me to connect to people on a different level.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would say to research your photographer. Make sure their style suits your vision and needs. We all have our different styles and approaches to photography which makes each photographer unique.
