Hi! I'm Minerva
the photographer behind the lens
a creative practice built on the belief that to be seen is powerful, and to be seen with intention can change everything
For me, photography is about more than images. It’s about honoring you in your truth. As an actor and director, I know how powerful it is to be truly seen, and how rare that feeling can be.
That’s why I created Lens of Athena: to offer photography that reflects not just how people look, but who they are, what they dream of, and what they’re building. Whether I’m working with a performer preparing for their next role, an organization capturing the heart of a production, or a family marking a fleeting moment, I approach each session with empathy, strategy, and deep respect.
I believe every image should move you forward, reflect your story, and remind you that you deserve to take up space exactly as you are.
 
Photography With Intention.
Every photo begins with listening so I can understand who you are, what you need, and how you want to be seen. I bring both creative sensitivity and strategic insight to every session, guiding with empathy and purpose. From personal milestones to professional headshots to the electric emotion of live theatre, I work to create images that feel true, look stunning, and help move your story forward with clarity, confidence, and heart.
