Boudoir is an investment that I think everyone deserves the opportunity to experience if they want to, which is why offering payment plans has always been so important to me!

Over the years, I’ve learned that our bodies are meant to change as we do, and that I’m still valuable whether I’m carrying 15 extra pounds or not. My worth isn’t tied to the size of my pants, and neither is yours.

Practicing body acceptance and body neutrality is easier said than done, but learning how to reframe your thoughts and tune in to your body make it just a little bit easier.

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 investment in a session isn’t just for pretty pictures of yourself. It empowers you to live unapologetically, and the confidence that you gain from a session is something that you can’t put a price tag on.

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!

There are two hurdles to jump over before your session: one when you make the choice to book, and one when you actually show up. Which is why it’s so important to build yourself up before your session!

Whether absolutely necessary or just a nice addition, there’s a handful of those not-so-glamorous things that you’ll want to bring that aren’t always at the top of mind when preparing, but you’ll be so happy you brought them!

Though I love the spooky sessions with smoke bombs and witch hats, I’m a little more lowkey than that so I did some digging and curated this list of lingerie that I think would be purrrrrfect for your spooky season session!

It goes beyond captivating photos, it’s the whole experience. A boudoir session with me is three hours where you’re the main character and you’re celebrated purely for existing. How does that sound?

No one is ever asking for it by wearing revealing clothing or posting photos of their bodies. How much clothing someone is wearing doesn’t have an effect on the respect they deserve!

This babe took the leap to connect with herself and learn how to love herself again, and one part of that journey was booking a boudoir session with me! After her session was over, she was gushing about her experience and had so many nice things to say about herself. That’s exactly what I want for you too!

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!

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!

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.”
