On the eve of her 50th birthday, Soko reached out to me about creating imagery that captured her at this stage in life — all of the wisdom, beauty and experiences wrapped into this incredible being who sat before me, a stranger prior to a zoom, prior to my studio.

I was honored to share my studio space with Soko, grateful she trusted me to see her through my lens, thankful for her vulnerability and certainty. Hours and dozens of images later, I left my studio a stronger woman than when I entered that day. I left feeling a little more sure of womanhood and lot more sure of the strength of my creativity.

I see you Soko. Thank you for believing in me… as much as I believe in you.
