SEE TOGETHER. DIFFERENTLY.

Small groups. Not lessons. Shared exploration.


My group workshops aren’t about learning to copy—
they’re about uncovering how you see.

Not chasing trends, but finding what’s yours.
We explore perspective, trust instinct, and strip away what’s not needed.
Hands-on. Honest. Present.

We slow down. We look deeper.
We move with intention—not results.

I don’t offer answers.
I offer space to ask better questions.

If that speaks to you, you’re in the right room.

beyond the shutter.

a portrait isn’t taken—it’s felt

This workshop is about presence, not perfection.
We focus on connection, trust, and the subtle space between you and your subject.

Through guided sessions and honest feedback, you’ll learn to see beyond the surface—and create portraits that hold emotion, depth, and truth.

If you're ready to capture more than a face, let's begin.

Sensual Portrait

where intimacy becomes art.

This workshop is about more than how it looks—it’s about how it feels.
We explore presence, emotion, and trust to create portraits that are raw, real, and quietly powerful.

Through guided connection and honest reflection, you’ll learn to hold space for vulnerability—and capture the strength within it.

If you're drawn to depth, this is where it begins.

This workshop is about seeing the unseen.
We walk, observe, and listen—with our eyes, our instincts, and our breath.

It’s not about chasing action but catching truth in the quiet.
You’ll learn to trust timing, frame emotion, and compose with intention—without interrupting what’s real.

For those drawn to the poetry of the everyday, this is where your vision sharpens.

the art of unveiling

boudoir as presence, not performance.

This workshop invites you to rethink boudoir—not as something staged, but as something felt.
It’s about creating a space of trust, where confidence unfolds naturally and beauty is seen in its most honest form.

We’ll work with light, emotion, and intention—focusing on how to guide without controlling, to reveal without exposing.

If you're ready to move beyond clichés and into meaningful expression, this is your space.
