Hola! My name is Vane (pronounced Vah-ney), a former executive leader and longtime creative turned holistic leadership coach and a storyteller who explores concepts of culture, identity, and social commentary. I use photography to document these concepts as they relate to the journey through womanhood as a way to reclaim and preserve our authentic, powerful stories. As my art evolves, I find deep gratitude in honoring life's beautiful, joy-filled moments through identity & self-discovery workshops & speaking engagements and visual storytelling, including lifestyle, editorial, and personal branding photography.
