hello,
my name is l.
❀ Late-30s. Mom of three.
❀ Give me a cabin, the woods, mountains, and trees and I’m happy.
❀ I’ll rarely say no to a coffee date or a Pilates/Lagree class.
❀ Usually reading a psychological thriller or lost in a fantasy series.
❀ If I’m editing, there’s probably something dark, suspenseful, or high-adrenaline playing in the background.
❀ I’m a little bit introvert, a little bit extrovert, depending on what my soul needs that day.
❀ Cozy night in > crowded room.
This work was never about changing the way women look. It's about changing the way they see themselves.
The images that stay with me have never been the ones where everything looked perfect. They're the ones that felt honest. A woman completely at ease in her own skin. A real laugh. A quiet moment. The kind of beauty that happens when she forgets, even for a moment, that there's a camera in front of her.
That's the kind of work I've always wanted to create.
The women who find me come from every season of life. They arrive carrying stories the camera could never fully tell. Stories of joy and change, motherhood and grief, healing and love, loss and becoming. Every woman is different, but each one brings something real with her. I think that's what draws me in most.
Because the photographs I love aren't really made when the shutter clicks. They begin in the moments before. In the shoulders that slowly relax. In the guarded smile that becomes a genuine one. In the woman who stops wondering how she looks and starts simply being there.
Those are the moments that changed the way I saw my work. And, over time, they changed the story I wanted to tell. That's where Wild Daisies began to feel like more than just a name for the women I work with.
Wild daisies don't need perfect conditions to bloom. They grow through heat and rain, through changing seasons and places no one thought to plant them. They're soft, but they're not fragile. They don't ask to be noticed, yet somehow, you always notice them. I've always thought there was something familiar in that.
The women who stand in front of my lens are much the same. They have lived. They have loved. They've lost, grown, changed, started over, and carried more than anyone else may ever know. They can be soft and strong at the same time. And so often, they're still learning to see themselves with the same tenderness they give so freely to everyone around them.
If there's one thing I hope you leave with, it's not simply beautiful photographs.
I hope you leave feeling seen.
I hope you recognize something in yourself that you may have forgotten was there. Not because the camera changed you, but because, for a little while, it gave you the space to look at yourself differently.
A little more honestly.
A little more gently.
A little more like the woman you've been all along.
Because this work was never about changing the way women look.
It's about changing the way they see themselves.
And sometimes, that small shift is where everything begins.
