Her Helm

A Portrait Celebration of Women Making Their Own Way on the Water

Her Helm is a portrait project to uplift women who are boat captains. These women love being outside. The sun and the sea call to them. They are forging their way in a culture not historically meant for them. Being in charge of their vessel is freedom to them. This project celebrates these women in boating who inspire us to feel the water and reach for the stars.

Celebrate

First on board and last off, with confidence you leverage the vessel and the crew to take on the wind, weather, and waves of the open water. A boat captain and a woman, you hold ultimate responsibility for vessel, crew, and guests. Her Helm is a photographic celebration that captures the powerful and unique position to which you have risen. Help me celebrate you.

“I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.”
