MEET DOROTHY -
YOUR HYPE GIRL BEHIND THE LENS
Hey there! I’m Dorothy – your go-to photographer, professional hype girl, and expert in making women feel confident, empowered, and seen.
I get it—standing in front of a camera can feel vulnerable. But here’s the thing: you deserve to see yourself the way the world sees you—strong, beautiful, and powerful. That’s where I come in. My full-service, luxury experience is all about guiding you every step of the way—from outfit choices to posing, to being your biggest cheerleader throughout your session.
Why I Do What I Do
I’ve always been drawn to photography, but my passion took on a whole new meaning when I realized I had aphantasia—I can’t visualize images in my mind. That means every photo I take holds incredible importance—it’s how I hold onto memories. And I know I’m not alone in that.
When I started my business in 2013, I focused on babies and families. But as I grew, so did my purpose. I saw how women struggle to see their own beauty, always picking themselves apart. I knew I wanted to change that. Now, my mission is simple: to help women rediscover their confidence, embrace their power, and walk away with images that make them say, “Damn, that’s me?!”
What You Can Expect
Working with me isn’t just about getting photos—it’s about having an experience that reminds you that you are that bitch.
-
Guided Posing & Professional Styling – No awkwardness here. I’ll guide you through flattering poses, natural movements, and the best styling to highlight your beauty.
-
A Fun, Comfortable Session – We’ll laugh, we’ll turn up your favorite music, and I’ll hype you up like your biggest fangirl.
-
Confidence That Lasts Beyond the Photos – You’re leaving with more than just stunning images; you’re leaving with a renewed sense of self and heirloom-quality artwork that you’ll cherish forever.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me:
-
Sipping coffee from Café 19 in Englewood or Val’s Bakery in Dayton
-
Devouring smutty dark romance novels (love a good thriller aspect!)
-
Riding my e-bike enjoying the sun with an audiobook playing
-
Camping at Brookville Lake with my family
-
Enjoying a rum & coke, margarita, or a glass of sweet wine
-
Anywhere near water—pool, lake, ocean, even a good bubble bath
-
Cooking from scratch or checking out the best local food spots
At the end of the day, I’m all about helping women see themselves in a new light, celebrating every stage of life with confidence, and creating artwork that lives beyond the digital screen.
