the "headshot" vs. the founder portrait. one is just a picture of a face; the other is the story of a business. I want to capture the version of you that shows up for your clients every day. the one who built the thing. you in your actual world: your space. your product. your service. showing "this is what I do." you’ve got big goals for 2026. your visuals should keep up. DM me when you’re ready. 📸by @thefolajimy

If you know me, you know motherhood is very dear to my heart. I'm so excited to finally launch The Motherhood Project and tell the stories of women navigating their identity through this journey. We're kicking off this mother's day weekend with Abaynesh. A natural born nurturer, designer, entrepreneur, and founder of @motherlandmothers , a foundation dedicated to supporting mothers and children across Africa. Her story is one of reinvention, identity, and the quiet strength that comes from choosing presence and giving yourself grace.

We always love working with @dinediaspora and had a great time photographing the @blackwomeninfood media preview at the stunning BSH kitchen showroom. And now we are counting down to the Black Women in Food Summit in just a few weeks!

Documenting an evening of art and philanthropy at Phillips New York. This private reception, held in collaboration with Saint Fleur, benefited The American Society of Black Neurosurgeons ahead of their New Now auction. It was a privilege to capture the connection and conversation within this community.

a very accurate representation of my 2016 mood. it was a really good year! I had my dream job as a fashion designer + side hustle as a photographer. I traveled a lot with my girls and really just enjoyed life! I'm taking this same energy into 2026!

90% of my camera roll is really just my kids living their best lives! 2025 was my most challenging yet, but praise God, I still managed to find joy. 2026, I'm ready for you!

A peek into yesterday’s Holiday Mini Sessions with talented photographer @chi_chi.ari at the beautiful @lairthestudio ✨🎄 Our team loved collaborating to design a warm and classic festive set to add some cheer for all the families holiday portraits! We included rich burgundy tones, layered velvet textures, ivory swagged drapes, tapered candles with ribbons, and details that made it feel magical yet cozy. Thanks for everyone who joined us and can’t wait to see all the final shots just in time to send out holiday cards✨ _ #holidayphotos #familyphotos #christmasdecor #christmas #burgundydecor

I'm 5 years and 2 kids in and still so fascinated by this whole motherhood journey! family sessions are just so necessary cuz one day they are tiny cuties in your arms and in a blink they are too busy moving around to be held! l loved everything about this sweet session. I've photographed their engagement, wedding, maternity and now their first chapter as parents! full circle story telling is so special to me. I'm hosting mini sessions for the holidays. it's an excellent way to document your growing family! limited spots available, link in the bio to book. dmv - nov. 22nd nyc - dec. 6th

one thing about me: I believe that life should be celebrated. the big milestones, the small wins and everything in between. if you know me, you know I'm very sentimental. so celebrating my sweet friend of 19 whole years as she preps for motherhood was just priceless!
