The most wonderful day for a family with photos to cherish forever. I met Inez few months back when she was updating her business portraits. She was so pleased with the experience that she came back for with her beautiful family for timeless portraits. We had the most amazing time capturing memories that will survive generations.

Shae is a successful Realtor, Founder of Free Them (an initiative dedicated to abolishing modern trafficking) and such a strong woman. For her new business venture, which will be marrying fitness & fashion, her strength is definitely one of the focus points. Shae's Personal Branding Session is such a great map of her personality and we had an amazing time capturing all sides of it.

It is the joy of my profession to be able to capture people and the story of their lives. I met Rita few years back when she was updating her business portraits. It was such a pleasure to photograph her again, this time with her teenage daughter Olivia. There's a beautiful bond between them that we captured for all time in timeless style!

“Thank you Agnes for capturing “ME” - you are so truly gifted at what you do! You bring out the absolute best in everyone at the same time making them feel so comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about you!”
A photographic journey of a woman struggling with the idea of her body and her personal accounts of suffering, resistance, surrender, and change. It was truly magical to put this project together with Actress Jessie Arora.

"On the precipice of ecstasy
My daemons will face me
On the edge of madness
My angels will call to me
This battle will consume you inside out
This battle will control you outside in"
" It might look like I'm crying but I'm not.
It might look like I'm sad, but I'm not.
It might look like I'm protecting myself, but I'm not.
I am watering my garden of lies.
I am smiling in disguise.
I am holding on for dear life"
" Untie these knots of shame and guilt. Untie these bands of disrespect. Your hold on me is done and gone. Your work on me has power none. You've reigned in my head, you've ruled in my heart, you've stifled my light, and you've suffocated my life.
Silence
Stillness
I will unravel, I will be gentle, I will be kind, I will be tender, I will be soft,
I will be. I will be. I will be.
This is my promise to me"
" In the darkness of my shadows
lies my ruin and revival.
Part by choice and part by chance but equally with purpose.
In the darkness of my shadows
lies my ruin and revival.
Part by blindness and part by sight but equally with purpose.
In the darkness of my shadows
lies my ruin and revival.
Part by you and part by me but equally with purpose.
In the lightness of my love
lies my ruin and revival.
Part by shadows and part by angels but equally with purpose"

" [...] I need to be washed, I need to be bathed. Of this idea of love and my love depraved.
You cannot be my saviour, you cannot be my guide. I only ask of you to witness this tide. For as it began, it will be unearthed, and in it's place I will water new earth. You will see me anew, you will see me to be taboo. And that will be fine with me, because one day somebody will be washing you"
"If every day I said a prayer, it would be thank you.
For your works I have seen and your words I have heard.
If every day I said a prayer, it would be thank you"
" Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Daughter,
I recognize your pain and feel it. I'm sorry you had to experience it. I recognise the injustice and I'm sorry. My words do not make it any better. I see what was done to you, I remember it. I know what they said about you, I heard it. I feel what they did to you, they did it to me too. It will not end, it will not stop, until we learn to speak up. Stand with me woman and help me speak up"
Beautiful Inez called me looking for business portraits, but then opened up about the fact that she really wants to exist in photographs for her husband and two boys. We had such a wonderful Session and she blew me away with her beauty, both inside and out!
