"The Camera Hates Me" — Babe, Let’s Stop Right There.

Because your becoming deserves to be immortalized—beautifully, boldly, luxuriously.

Truth time? I used to say it, too.
"The camera doesn’t love me."
Actually… I swore it hated me.

Wild, right? Coming from someone who lives to capture beauty, confidence, and soul-stirring transformation through the lens — you’d think I’d be camera-obsessed. But being behind the camera and stepping in front of it? Whole different game.

People always ask, “Where are YOUR portraits?”
“You must have so many gorgeous shots of yourself!”
And for years, I’d dodge. I was the master of excuses:
“I don’t have time.”
“I need to lose weight first.”
“I’m not photogenic.”
“I’m too old.”
Sound familiar?

The truth? It felt safer to hide behind the lens. But one day I realized: how could I ask women to trust me with their most vulnerable, radiant selves… if I wasn’t willing to show up as mine?

So I did it. I talked to myself (yes, pep talks in the mirror and all), got over my own BS, and finally stepped in front of the camera.
And guess what? I didn’t just survive.
I slayed.
I even submitted one of my portraits to The Portrait Masters and won an award.

Everything changed.

Now? I take selfies like a damn pro. Not because I’m “finally perfect,” but because I chose to see myself with compassion, not criticism.
I stopped waiting for the “after” version of me to feel worthy.
This version? The now me? She’s magic.

And you — you’ve got your own list of reasons, don’t you?

Maybe you think:

“I’m not the kind of woman who does photoshoots.”
“Who do I think I am to spend 3 hours getting treated like a celebrity?”
“Isn’t it vain?”
“What would my partner, kids, or coworkers think?”

But let me ask you this:

What if this experience cracked something open inside of you?
What if you saw your reflection… and actually loved her?
What if, by honoring yourself, you gave permission for other women to do the same?

This isn’t about vanity.
This is about visibility.
About owning your space.
About being seen — really seen — for who you are now, not someday.

So no, love — the camera doesn’t hate you. It’s been waiting for you.

And I’d be honored to help you meet her — that bold, beautiful, untamed version of yourself. She’s not far off. She’s already in there.

📩 Ready to say yes?
Let’s talk. Let’s shoot. Let’s celebrate you like the masterpiece you are.
Your story deserves to be told. And I can’t wait to help you tell it.
