My Story
“Why Autonomy Matters Here”
Autonomy is one of the most important values in my work.
As someone who has experienced what it feels like to have my autonomy taken away, I know how vital it is to have a space where you are in complete control of your body and your story. That’s why, in every session, your choices come first.
You decide how you want to express yourself. You decide how much or how little to reveal. You decide what feels safe, what feels bold, and what feels like you.
This is your space. Your story. Your freedom.
Resilience: Rising From the Ashes
My journey has never been a straight line. I’ve walked through trauma, abuse, heartbreak, and seasons where I felt like I had lost myself completely. But even in my darkest moments, there was always a spark inside me that refused to go out. That spark is resilience.
Resilience is the reason From the Ashes exists. It’s why I chose a phoenix as the heart of my brand—because no matter how many times we fall, we can rise again, stronger and more deeply ourselves.
Every woman who steps in front of my camera carries her own resilience. Some are healing from trauma. Some are navigating life changes. Some are simply rediscovering the parts of themselves they’ve had to bury for too long. In my studio, their resilience is honored, documented, and celebrated.
✨ Your scars don’t diminish your beauty.
✨ Your story doesn’t lessen your worth.
✨ You are resilient. You are rising. You deserve to be seen.
