Simply You
A Skincare + Portrait Experience
On May 16th, I’m partnering with Dana Gattis for an afternoon that celebrates natural beauty, taking care of ourselves, and being positive role models in the lives of our teens and tweens.
This isn’t about glam or playing princess. It’s about slowing down, learning how to care for your skin, spending time together, and walking away with portraits that actually feel like you.
Simply You is about confidence.
For you.
For your daughter or granddaughter.
For the season you’re in right now.
Get Ready For Your Glow Up
When you arrive, you’ll start with a guided skincare session with Dana. This portion lasts about an hour, so plan to be here a little while. Some families will spend close to two hours in the studio from start to finish, and that’s intentional. We don’t want you to feel rushed.
Dana will walk you through a customized skincare routine that includes:
• Cleansing
• Gentle exfoliating
• Moisturizing
Nothing complicated. Just practical steps that work for teens and adults.
If you’d like light, natural makeup, Dana can help choose colors that enhance your features. For example, I chose to add a little eyebrow color to help bring out my eyes. The goal isn’t to look different. It’s simply to look fresh and feel good in your own skin.
And then we’ll capture the glow.
After skincare, you’ll move into your portrait session with me.
And if you’re thinking, “Photos without a full face of makeup!?” I promise you are going to look amazing. Dana’s skin care routine has already given you a healthy glow and my job is to bring out your best through lighting, gentle posing, and real connection.
I’ll guide you the entire time so you feel comfortable and confident. We’ll keep it relaxed with natural smiles and real moments. No stiff posing. No pressure.
These portraits are clean and bright. The focus is on personality, connection, and how you naturally show up in the world.
My editing style is already subtle, but for this event I’ll pay extra attention to keeping things real. I’ll soften what’s temporary and leave the freckles and natural texture that make you unique.
You’ll look like yourself on your best day. And years from now, these photos will still feel like you.

A Note From Me
As moms, we’re usually the ones behind the camera.
And as daughters grow up, they are hearing what we say about ourselves and seeing how we take care of ourselves.
This day is about showing them that taking care of yourself matters. That being in photos matters. That confidence does not come from perfection. It comes from showing up.
