IDENTITY | STYLED

A celebration of culture through a contemporary lens

What we wear tells a story—of who we are, where we come from, and the legacy we carry.

IDENTITY | STYLED is a portrait series that honors cultural identity through fashion, heritage, and modern self-expression.

I’m photographing a limited number of women in traditional or culturally significant attire—styled and captured in a contemporary, magazine-style portrait experience. This is for the woman who honors her roots and defines herself on her own terms.

Whether you wear Regalia, Ao Dai, Kimono, Lehenga Choli, Hanbok, Dashiki, Claddagh Dress, or something uniquely yours—this is a space to be seen, celebrated, and beautifully photographed.

Selected participants will receive:

✔ A complimentary, guided portrait session in my West Allis studio
✔ A credit toward two favorite digital portraits (with the option to purchase more)
✔ Styling support and wardrobe prep guidance
✔ The option to add professional hair & makeup services for $150
✔ The opportunity to be featured in a powerful editorial-style portrait series

✔ Women or Women-Identified Persons ages 18+ of all heritages, backgrounds, and identities
✔ Who wish to be photographed in 1–3 cultural outfits they already own
✔ People who are open to having their portraits publicly shared as part of this project
✔ Must be available for a weekday morning session (Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 10 AM–1 PM)
✔ Sessions will take place in late April through May 2025
