When Your Client Makes History: Photographing the First Meteorologist to Go to Space
Some stories evolve over time.
And if you're lucky, you get to be part of more than one chapter.
I first photographed Deborah Martorell during a full VIP Day, a session where we captured her vision, presence, and purpose as a trailblazing communicator and scientist.
Deborah made history this year when Blue Origin selected her to go to space, making her the world's first meteorologist to do so.
And once again, she trusted me to create the images that would help the world see and celebrate her.
This wasn't a surprise collaboration. We both knew what these portraits were for.
They were crafted intentionally to announce one of the most powerful moments of her career and of global significance.
The Heart of What I Do
For me, this is the essence of my work:
To support visionary women as they step into greater visibility and to create imagery that matches the magnitude of their message.
The portraits we created are now being used across major platforms and international media outlets. More than that, they have become a part of history.
I'm deeply honored to have played a visual role in this moment.
We take even greater pride in the fact that this marked our second collaborative effort to create something significant.
Deborah, thank you for continuing to trust me with your story.
You are a true force, and I'll be cheering you on from Earth.
Below, you'll find a few of the portraits from our session, images that reflect power, grace, and a woman who's redefining what's possible.

If you're a visionary woman preparing for a milestone moment—whether it's a career pivot, major announcement, or historic achievement—I'd love to help you create images that match the magnitude of your message.
