Body Positive
Portraits

Beauty is something that each of us holds, and we work with you to highlight yours in a comfortable, body-affirming setting. We love the diversity that comes with all shapes and sizes.

We'll talk about what parts of yourself you really enjoy and want to highlight while working through any apprehension you're feeling about being behind the camera lens. We strive to make being photographed fun and empowering.

 
Callie Forest Photo Mission statement
 

I began photographing professionally just under 10 years ago with one goal in mind: to make high-quality photography accessible to everyone, from families to individuals, small businesses to non-profit organizations.

Many people in larger bodies feel like their beauty is not seen and represented in the photography they see online or in print that's dubbed "beautiful." They feel they don't belong behind a camera lens.

I wanted to challenge all of those perceptions by making photography affordable for all budgets through meeting clients where they are.

I sought to be an LGBTQ+ affirming presence and a transparent and proud queer photographer with whom diversity is celebrated, championed, and beautifully highlighted.

Regardless of income, gender identity or sexuality, working with a photographer that celebrates all the building blocks of a person's sense of self is vital to all of us. everyone deserves this creative experience and to have important moments documented.

Beauty is in the heartbeat of each of us.
