Stay in the Frame

Stay in the Frame.

You deserve to exist in the photographs, too.

Stay in the Frame is a portrait series for women as they go through challenges and life changes. It grew out of my own life. In 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I made just-in-case photos, then spent a long time staying out of the frame. I know how easy it is to be the one always holding the camera.

These sessions give you space to celebrate yourself—exactly as you are. No expectations. No need to feel camera-ready.

Who these sessions are for

Women in Stamford, Fairfield County, New York City, and beyond who are moving through something—illness, recovery, a milestone, a quiet shift, a chapter that's hard to name. You do not have to explain more than you want to. You do not have to be at the end of the story.

What to expect

We'll talk first, at your pace. We'll choose a setting that feels comfortable. The session itself is unhurried. You'll receive a private gallery. Investment starts at [your package price]. If a complimentary or reduced session is available at a given time, I'll tell you that directly when you inquire—nothing here assumes a price.

Privacy and care

Your photographs are yours. Nothing is shared on the website, in a gallery, or on social media without your clear permission. If you want the story told, we can tell it with care. If you want the photographs to stay just for you, that's enough.

If this is you, or someone you love, I would be honored to photograph her.
