I wasn’t born with a camera in my hand.
But I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure out how to feel seen.
I was a shy, anxiety-filled teen. The plus-size girl in a friend group that didn’t look like me. I spent years doing everything I could not to be noticed-because every time I was, it felt like it came with judgment. Shame. Like I was too much and never enough all at once.
That’s why I do what I do now.
Because teens shouldn’t have to shrink themselves to fit in.
They should get to take up space. Loudly. Boldly. Unapologetically.
Welcome, I'm belinda
For ten years, I was a boudoir model-and that was where I started to find my power again. But it wasn’t until I met my husband that I finally understood what it felt like to be fully seen. Accepted. Celebrated. That changed everything for me-and now I get to pass that on through my work.
I specialize in off-camera flash photography with a bold, dramatic, editorial edge. But this isn’t just about lighting and angles. This is about creating a space where seniors (and their parents) walk in unsure and leave transformed. Because once someone feels seen, everything changes.
"Because once someone feels seen, everything changes."
During your session, I’m watching the light. I’m reading the emotion. But what I’m really looking for is that moment—that shift when the person in front of me realizes, “Wait… that’s me?”
That’s the part I live for.
The other part? Watching parents lose it in the reveal session when their kid—shy, unsure, figuring it all out—looks like absolute artwork.
Because that’s what they are.
People always tell me I made them feel confident.
That’s the best compliment I can get—because it means I’m doing more than taking pictures. I’m building trust, connection, and a moment of healing most people don’t even realize they need until it happens.
I know what it’s like to go home to chaos. I know what it’s like to feel overlooked.
So for the time you’re with me—whether it’s a two-hour shoot or a two-minute glimpse at the back of my camera—you’re going to feel like the most important person in the room.
Because you are.
Let’s create something you’ll never forget.
Something you’ll finally see yourself in.
Not your average senior photographer. Not your average senior.
Let's create images they will be obsessed with- and you'll want framed big as hell above the fireplace.
