Throughout my life, I’ve interpreted my world through a camera. I’ve always been drawn to showcase the power and strength of women and the divine feminine. With Vanityfire Photography, I’m able to marry my two passions by helping kick-ass women reveal their best selves.

Over the years, I've studied photography in Rome, curated art shows, had a few solo exhibitions and many group exhibitions, volunteered time and talent for benefits and big events, played around with drag, burlesque, and belly dancing, been published, and garnered collectors!

Vanityfire Photo also creates vibrant, decadent photographic apparel for wild, wanderlusty lovelies. Vanityfire Apparel is for soul seekers, journey lovers, and encapsulates the soul of place and time. The kimono's, dresses, leggings, and bags are desirable and gorgeous.

Currently, in addition to owning my portrait studio photography business of 15 years, I’m going back to my fine art roots. Creating textiles for a vibrant, comfortable clothing line to clothe the modern goddess. Created from my vast archives of more than two decades of adventures.

Vanityfire Apparel is built on a foundation of social responsibility by bringing awareness to charities and organizations near and dear to my heart, such as wildlife preservation. In the face of unethical fashion and consumption, I have elected to champion slow fashion. Partnering with a company from Canada that practices fair trade, sources ethical materials, considers environmental impact, and every product is handmade.

With my life, I desire to go on adventures where I have never been with my beautiful daughters, friends, and family, and to take pictures! 

With my art, I desire to be in the moment with someone, and every time, unexpected, unpredictable, inevitable magic happens between us with camera in hand.
