After a couple years of struggling to figure out how I wanted to facilitate the experience, I finally decided to take the leap with offering same day image reveals — and they are amazing!

Body neutrality is a step on my self-love journey, one that’s teaching me that how I look is the least interesting thing about myself. Self-love is a journey, and I hope to move from a place of neutrality to acceptance, to compassion, to confidence, to uninhibited love.

Let's be real: it can be difficult to be vulnerable. And boudoir can be a super vulnerable experience — mentally, emotionally, and physically. That’s why I’m super intentional about incorporating choice and prioritizing your consent during the process!

As I read what this beautiful client-friend wrote about how her boudoir experience impacted her, I felt tears welling up in my eyes. As they began to spill over, I got to the section where she told me — I cried as I stroked my hands down the page of this body of mine and said quietly, “this is me, and I am so beautiful.”

I know that preparing for your session can be overwhelming, which is why I created an extensive prep guide for my clients! Here are some of my best tips for how to prepare the day of your session. I already know you’re gonna rock it!

So many times in the past my own excuses and negative self talk has held me back and stopped me from doing things I want to do, but this is me promising to do the hard things, to be vulnerable when I feel able to, and to show up and work on myself too.

Our outward beauty isn’t our currency for existing in the world, and in my studio, there’s no beauty fee. You can show up full glam or completely natural, and you’ll be celebrated, supported, and loved equally.

How important is it to you to do things for yourself that make you feel beautiful and confident? Things that remind you of all the best parts of yourself? Self-love and self-care rituals matter so much!

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, my client and friend Michaela is sharing her experience as a survivor about what she endured and escaped, and the path to reclaiming her body and her life.

Boudoir isn’t something that’s within most people’s comfort zones, but doing a session can lead to more self-love and expanding your comfort zone while learning more about yourself in the process.

“The road to self love isn’t always paved. It takes a conscious effort, and unfortunately boudoir is not an instant fix. You just can’t purchase self love. But seeing others transparency through their journey to self love, as I myself have learned, can be one of the most beneficial experiences in your own journey.”

One of my favorite parts of this work is getting to celebrate so many different people in the studio. It fills my cup so much to have the opportunity to create with you!

This babe has a presence that I can only describe as feeling like a hug from your mom — she’s warm, gentle, and kind. Working with her was a privilege, and one that impacted me as much as it did her.

Boudoir helped me realize that I didn’t have to alter my appearance to be enough, and it made a huge impact on my journey to discovering myself and finding self confidence, and I want that for you too.

Though I want to appreciate my body for what it does for me, at the end of the day my body is just a body. I know for certain that I am enough regardless of what my body looks like. And so are you.

Like this babe said, investing in a boudoir session is investing in how you choose to view herself. It means so much to me when my clients trust me to capture them as they are; that’s literally all I can ever ask for!

“Every woman needs a self confidence boost sometime in their life. This definitely did that. I want to be better to myself and love myself more. I want to help start celebrating other woman as best as I can. To show them they should love themselves no matter what they look like.”

In my years in the boudoir industry, I’ve noticed there’s a misconception that in order to do a boudoir session you have to fit a very narrow profile. In reality, not one of those things is expected of you in my studio.

Giving the gift of a boudoir album to your soon-to-be spouse is one of the most intimate, thoughtful gifts. It’s saying — I love you and I trust you — and isn’t that the foundation a marriage should be built on?
