How important is it to you to do things for yourself that make you feel confident? Things that remind you of all the best parts of yourself? This mama came into the studio for a mini sesh and left with crop top confidence!

Last month, I hosted my first ever event alongside one of my best friends, Natalie! We were sitting at her kitchen table co-working one day, and started talking about this idea of hosting a Galentine’s Day party. And it was so much fun!!

Think back to your middle school days… Remember how your signature scent made you feel when you put it on and let’s translate that feeling to some lingerie that you could wear for your session!

How do you even know where to start with your search, let alone begin to narrow down your long list of options? Let me help with a list of questions to keep in mind while shopping around!

From dreaming of being a princess at 5 to playing detective and taking soil samples from our backyard to deciding to be an art teacher, it’s been a long road. I’m excited to be able to share it with you!

The PSL is back, besties!! With Fall right around the corner, I wanted to look back at Summer and how good it was to me as well as look forward to what the end of the year will bring!

I get asked about model releases all the time!! I think transparency is super important, and I want to get into the nitty gritty of choosing whether or not to sign a release. We’ll talk about what they are, what it means if you choose to sign one, if they’re required, and more!

When this babe booked her session, we had never met before. We had some mutual friends, and in the months leading up to her session we shared drinks and laughs and got to know each other through game nights with those mutual friends (who are also habitual clients of mine!) which was so nice!!

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!

Your session, your photos, your BEING is incomparable. So why would your photos look like anyone else’s? Your session won't be like anyone else's because YOU are unlike anyone else and that’s what makes your photos so special.

I know that being in front of the camera can feel a little stressy for any kind of session (but especially boudoir!) so it’s important to choose a photographer who you trust. A boudoir session is a big deal, so you want to work with someone who treats it - and who treats you - like a big deal!

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.

“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.”
