WHAT STARTED AS A FILM AND ART EXHIBIT IN TULSA HAS BECOME A MOVEMENT AND NOW WE ARE BRINGING IT TO YOUR CITY!​
​
We set out to feature around forty local women over the age of forty in the "She Is Tulsa" project, but we shot over seventy women and sold out two incredible red-carpet documentary screenings and we realized there was no way we could stop there. We are now producing a quarterly magazine in Oklahoma City and Tulsa and it is THE magazine for women. Then we started hearing from women all over the country that they NEEDED something like this in THEIR town too- and now that we are moving the studio to Atlanta, we are answering that call right here!
I want to empower each and every one of you to embrace who you are and show off your personal style. Whether we go full glam with hair, makeup, and an evening gown, or simple and chic with a shoot in boots and a blazer-This is all about what makes YOU unique. These are images worthy of the big screen, worthy of Vogue magazine-worthy of YOU and all of the things that you are, all the roles that you play. This is an opportunity to see yourself through my lens, a true expression of how amazing and beautiful you are, and I cannot wait to photograph you in this way.

"It was a beautiful evening. I had the honor of bringing my 18-year-old son and he left understanding the incredible importance of women. I want to say I have taught him that lesson-and I have, but this night was different….. I believe this night has changed his appreciation for women."
Shannon
"Thank you Nicole Barton for your patience. You have made a major impact on some of my healing & growth process. What I have gained from it, is not what I expected... Yet, have been searching for."

"I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera; I become really awkward. Nicole Barton made it so easy. I felt like I was having fun taking pictures with a friend. I could be weird and do my thing without feeling judged. My pictures turned out fabulous. I also got the privilege to meet a very special group of women, and what an honor it was."

"Nicole and her team were phenomenal and I felt like a movie star. I wish every woman to have this experience. I'm so excited to continue meeting all of the ladies involved. This movement is one of the best things to be involved with for not just us, but for the women of generations after our own. Our daughters, witnessing our transformations and benefiting from the wisdom, networking, and the bonds of friendship that form. That's a great legacy."

DEBRA
"Undoubtedly we are all busy as moms, wives, business owners. We are expected to have our acts together 24/7 sometimes without a lot of focus on what we have accomplished. Individually we know we work hard. Together, this group, reminded us that we aren’t alone and that Tulsa loves and needs us. Nicole was a gem to my wife and I. I’ll always follow what she does and be a fan."

"This project was a way for me to experience a new adventure that focused on me and not the role that I play in someone else’s life. It was a great experience for me and gave me an evening to spend with my two sons. I think they got to see me in a new light and as one of them is now a parent of three children, helped them to appreciate what it means to be a parent and still invest in yourself. It was a joy to be a part of and I am thankful that Nicole Barton put this all together!"
CHARLOTTE
I don’t usually like pictures taken of me. I want people to get to know me so they can see that my beauty comes from the inside. But THESE PHOTOS????? You made me look how I feel on the inside. You captured in pictures how I feel about myself on the inside. So many people overlook me because my hair is grey or I’m not skinny or whatever flaw they choose to see. But those that choose to get to know me will see that looks are not all were women possess. It’s not about what is on the outside. I thank you for seeing me. Thank you for showing my world what I see.
DR. SHANNON
"Women equal power! The whole SHE IS TULSA experience celebrated this exponential power, creativity, and strength. I felt honored and grateful to be a part of this incredible group of women AND a woman who calls Tulsa, Home! Thanks again, Nicole!!"

WHY A FILM AND EXHIBIT? WHY HERE? WHY NOW?
​
"In 2021 I relocated to Tulsa from Los Angeles! Six months pregnant with my third daughter, our family moved halfway across the country for something new. I'm a woman who loves to be out in the community, to check out all the places, see all the things, and meet all the people. So far, so good! But, I wanted to do something MORE. I wanted to create something that would be an incredible representation of the women in my new home. Listen, representation is my JAM. I need women to be SEEN. I need them to be lifted up and to celebrate every facet of who they are. What better way for me to meet all the incredible women in my new community than by highlighting their unique lifestyle and beauty and presenting it to the world in a kickass film screening and photo exhibit?! Because why NOT right?! We shot a gallery of images and a short film, and the exhibit and red carpet screening were incredible. What followed was an incredible amount of press coverage, a growing community of local women, and the evolution of not only a quarterly magazine for women in Tulsa, but also a documentary and magazine for the neighboring women in Oklahoma City.
​
Now, my family and I are making Atlanta our forever home. So I am turning my lens onto ATL: To celebrate the women in this community and create a stunning visual representation of WHO THEY ARE. I want women here to experience what this IS. I want them to feel like celebrities and have an artistic representation of themselves, a media outlet that truly speaks to who they are. This "She is" thing has become a MOVEMENT and I cannot wait to see what my new home has to offer.​​​
