10 Women I Admire | International Women’s Day

Today, I celebrate some of the women I’ve photographed. I believe that their presence in their respective industries will encourage and also inspire you! We are so powerful and sometimes, we just need a little reminder of the strength we possess. By capturing these portraits, I’ve felt incredibly proud to be a woman. I believe that each of their stories create a dynamic aspect to women’s history. Most importantly, I’ve seen these women up close and I’ve received a word of positivity and encouragement from each of them. If you have a chance, look them up and be inspired by their resilience and their fierce passion for what they do. Happy International Women’s Day!
