Alongside my executive and professional work, I continue to offer legacy portraiture for individuals and families who value artistry, craftsmanship, and permanence. These portraits are created to be held, displayed, and passed down—tangible heirlooms that grow more meaningful with time. My approach is shaped by a background in arts marketing, image consulting, education, modeling, and classical dance—disciplines that have trained my eye for posture, presence, and nuance. This breadth allows me to work across professional and personal contexts while maintaining a singular standard: visual work that feels elevated, intentional, and enduring. Too often, people delay having meaningful portraits created—assuming there will be more time later. Experience has taught me that later is never guaranteed. A portrait is not a luxury; it is a record of who you were at a moment that mattered. Whether you choose to work with me or another professional, my advice is the same: don’t put it off. The value of a portrait only increases with time.
