It's been about seven years since I began work on vagina vérité®. Hard to believe that it’s been that long! This project has been and continues to be the most meaningful work I’ve ever engaged in. While the tangible result of the work will be a series of v-portraits, the core of the project is the so-many stimulating, fun, educational, moving and question-provoking conversations that began when a friend asked me: do you like the way your vagina looks?
Thank you to everyone who has participated, for bringing these conversations into my life and inspiring me to continue questioning and listening. It is because of your encouragement, support and participation that vagina vérité® exists.

To date, I’ve made 70 v-portraits, proud and unabashed vulva portraits, each beautiful and strikingly unique. I am looking to finish up photography this year and then find a publisher. I envision about 80 v-portraits in total as the moment to gently land on a spot that feels complete. As every woman’s vagina is truly unique, I could go on making v-portraits forever [and probably will!]...however, in order to make these images available to women—so we can see ourselves for ourselves—it’s coming on time to pause and publish.
The women who have made v-portraits with me so far range in age from 19-60, are of diverse backgrounds, families, experiences, life-styles, as well as comfort-level with their vaginas and their bodies in general. What they have in common is the trust they placed in me—for that, I deeply thank each one!
If you'd like to make a v-portrait,
and we'll set it up.

In order to publish vagina vérité®, I'll be submitting a publishing proposal, which includes among other things, a description of the market for the book.
Your input as to whether you'd buy the book would be very helpful in preparing the publishing proposal for vagina vérité®. Take the v-book survey.
