To be inspiredand to inspire.
That's the goal isn't it? This isn't only about mastering settings or memorizing rules. You do that over time no matter what, but it's ALSO about unlearning what doesn't serve you and building a creative practice that actually reflects who you are and who you want to work with.
Chasing Light is where photography meets human-centered values: trauma-aware practices, body neutrality, gender affirming care, and the business mindset to charge what you're worth.
Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't. There's no wrong way to create art.
What we
explore together
Six pillars of creative & ethical photography education
Rules & How to Break Them
Learn the "rules" of photography, then blow them apart in the name of creativity and authentic expression.
Trauma-Aware Consent & Safety
Build sessions that prioritize psychological safety, informed consent, and a truly welcoming environment for every client.
Body Neutral Documentation
Photograph clients through a body-neutral lens, honoring every body without centering weight, size, or appearance as the story.
Gender Affirming Care
Create genuinely affirming experiences for trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive clients, in how you shoot, speak, and guide.
Imagery You Can Feel
Move past technically correct into emotionally resonant, learning to create images that stop the scroll and hit the chest.
Money Mindset & Your Worth
Unpack the money blocks, learn pricing strategy, and build the confidence to charge what your work is actually worth.
