The third woman is a female-owned fine art photography studio and community space that promotes other female entrepreneurs and also acts as a welcoming, safe, and creative event space.

In "REVENGE OF THE TIPPING POINT" Malcom gladwell delivers insight to the collective human experience and the point at which a woman's power gains traction in male dominated settings.

"When a woman is all alone she stands out as a woman, but she becomes invisible as a person. Adding a second woman clearly helps, but it still wasn't enough. The magic seems to occur when three or more women serve on a board together. three out of nine people. the magic third."

Power. Strength. Feminism. Fortitude. Brilliance. Grace.

Everything that we are deserves to be seen, heard, celebrated, and empowered, but too often our shine is dulled under the weight of the world. sometimes we need another female, or two, to have our back.

I am the third woman.

Behind The Third Woman

At The Third Woman, every session is more than a photo—it’s a reflection of the stories, dreams, and emotions that make you who you are. Built from a love of artistry and connection, this space was created to celebrate women, families, and milestones both big and small.

I believe portraits should feel personal, powerful, and timeless—images that remind you not just of how you looked, but how you felt in this moment of your life. From intimate boudoir sessions to vibrant family portraits, every detail is designed to make you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen.

The Third Woman isn’t just a studio; it’s a sanctuary for self-expression, celebration, and legacy.
