There is something truly powerful about seeing yourself in a portrait—the way it can capture a moment in time, celebrate your journey, and remind you of the love that surrounds you. That’s why I believe that everyone, no matter their age or ability, deserves to be in the picture.

I’m honored to share that I am trained and certified through Hearts & Lens to work with and create portraits for individuals with disabilities. This certification is more than just a credential—it’s a reflection of my deep belief that photography should be inclusive and accessible to all. I want every person I photograph to feel valued, seen, and celebrated.

Too often, I hear stories of people who forgo family portraits or who shy away from the camera because they feel it’s not for them. But portraits are for everyone. They tell our stories, they capture our connections, and they become treasured legacies for generations to come. No one should be missing from these moments.

When I work with individuals of all abilities, my goal is always to create a comfortable, relaxed, and joyful experience. That means taking the time to understand each person’s needs, ensuring the location is accessible, and adjusting the session to make sure everyone feels at ease. Whether it’s a child with sensory sensitivities who needs a calm, quiet setting or an adult who requires extra time and patience, I am committed to making the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

The power of photography is universal—it has the ability to uplift, empower, and bring joy. It’s not just about taking a picture; it’s about making sure everyone has a place in the frame. If you or someone you love has ever felt unseen, know that your story deserves to be told, your moments deserve to be captured, and your presence in photographs is a gift to the world.

Let’s create something beautiful together. Because everyone deserves to be in the picture.
