National Charity League

National Charity League, Inc. (NCL, Inc.) is a non-profit national organization of mother and daughter members in Chapters across the United States. A group of women founded the organization in 1925 when National Charity League was established in Los Angeles. They supported the American Red Cross by making layettes and assembling food baskets for the hungry during the holidays. The women engaged their daughters and by 1938, the daughters formed their own group.  In 1947, all groups united to become the nation’s first mother-daughter charity. National Charity League expanded its program beyond philanthropic work to include educational and cultural activities. National Charity League was reorganized and incorporated in 1958 to become National Charity League, Inc.

NCL Champions

This will be the third year for me to photograph the NCL Champions chapter.  I am so honored to get to know these seniors and their moms.  They have worked hard for many years leading up to this Senior Recognition program.  In the Fall, we photograph the seniors for their individual portrait and we also photograph the mother-daughter portrait for the program.  In January at the Senior Recognition program, all seniors and mothers will be recognized for their contributions and dedication to the organization and to their communities.  The program is a wonderful evening of food, dancing, and sometimes a few tears.  I wish all my best to the NCL Champions seniors of 2018.

💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛

Ready to make your Class of 2026 senior portraits one-of-a-kind?
