Hi! I'm Colleen,
I'm so glad you stumbled on my page to browse my creative outlet that I LOVE doing for others. I love making people feel comfortable behind the lens...and most of us including myself can relate that having photos taken can be intimidating. That's how I found myself behind the camera...receiving the feedback from friends + clients that I bring a very welcoming, playful, and empowering energy to our sessions.
I am also a massage therapist and have a background in mental health, so with these three avenues, I find that they all carry the same theme of supporting people to feel comfortable, safe, and whole heartedly themselves. Photography for me has been a supportive exploration to re-connect with myself in a new lens "literally". I hope that our sessions have a similar effect of reigniting the confidence in you, that you are beautiful just as you are ~ inside and out.
When I'm not taking / editing pictures...
chasing my pup Bela at the beach
dancing anywhere with music + glitter
surfing + falling asleep in the sand
making earrings / knitting
...and maybe binging the most recent Love is Blind (I love, love + connection, I can't help it lol)
If my story and energy aligns with you, I'd love to connect!
With gratitude,
Colleen <3
