Todman writes of her work, "As a photographer and a fashion designer, I try to create a beautiful interpretation of the feel of the dress while making the model look great. The point of fashion photography is to create a feeling and a story so that consumers can see themselves wearing the fashion." Todman uses her love of fashion and photography to create her edgy and elegant photographs.
