A WOMENS PORTRAIT AND STORYTELLING PROJECT
Women's stories deserve to be preserved.
Not the polished version. Not the highlight reel. The real one - the one that took courage to live, and even more courage to tell.
Her Words, Her Light is a limited portrait and storytelling series for women who are ready to be seen fully, not the polished version, the real one.
Each session includes a cinematic black-and-white portrait session at my private Pleasanton studio and a recorded conversation for Visible Impact, a podcast dedicated to the stories women are finally ready to tell. Participants are also included in the Her Words, Her Light exhibition currently in development.
I photograph a small number of these sessions each year. The inquiry form below helps me understand who you are and whether this experience is right for you before we connect directly.
I Know What You're Telling Yourself:
“This isn't for me." "I hate being in front of a camera." "My story isn't interesting enough."
Every woman who has participated said the same thing walking in. Not one of them left wishing she hadn't.
This project is especially for the woman who almost talked herself out of it.
What Participation Includes:
A cinematic black-and-white portrait session at Nina's private Pleasanton studio
A full recorded episode of Visible Impact, Nina's storytelling podcast
A place in the Her Words, Her Light future exhibition
