Denver, CO Indoor Headshot Inspiration - McKinley

I showed up at McKinley's doorstep to her holding a miniature Australian Shepherd in her arm and holding back a larger dog, saying "Annah!!! Hi! Do you like dogs?" haha

From the moment I met her, she was so energetic and welcoming. It felt like we'd been friends for years! McKinley has such a warm personality. She is a hardworking woman who knows her values and I admire her so much for that. I aim to make photo sessions as empowering as they can be. It’s important to feel confident in your body and know your worth. Even if the photos are for updated career headshots, it’s important for that confidence to come through.

. McKinley is indigenous and advocates for the rights of women as well as indigenous people at protests and rallies when she has free time. After spending a little time with McKinley for these photos, I knew we would see each other again as friends soon. I’m so grateful for our connection. I’m inspired by McKinley’s success in her career and even more, I’m inspired by her beliefs and the strong voice she uses to speak them.
