“I’m not going to sacrifice my mental health to have the perfect body.”
-Demi Lovato

I received a message from a woman who was interested in booking a session with me. One of her questions, throwing me TOTALLY off guard was, “Do you know how to pose bigger girls?”

It took me a second. Never ever even thinking about this, I had no idea what to say. Although I started shooting Boudoir exclusively only 6 months ago, I have photographed nearly 30 women already….and never once did I think about posing women differently based on their size.

Women have come to me from a size 2, to a size 17….and I have posed them all exactly the same. I’ve used my same “flow” that I usually go through. Every woman moves differently, has different mannerisms, and I pose accordingly. Some women have insecurities like scars, or stretch marks, or maybe a boob they think is noticeably smaller than the other…..and I of course pose accordingly. But never have I shot a women differently or been biased to a certain style of posing due to size.

I will shoot a size 2 the same as I shoot a size 20 & I will shoot a size 20 the same as I shoot a size 2.

We need to get away from this thought of “I’m not good enough”. We need to stop thinking that we can’t celebrate today….because we’re not good enough today. You don’t have to put in years of work to celebrate your worth, or your body. You’re amazing right now. You’re beautiful right now. You’re ENOUGH…right now.

I encourage you to email me if you are ever feeling down…because I know how it feels. I hope you know you are worth happiness and celebration, and if you don’t think so….I’d love to listen & chat with you.

Milk Bath sessions seem to be all the rage among the maternity photography industry. I, personally, am a huge fan and think they make very feminine and beautiful photographs to remember your transition into motherhood. What better way to celebrate Boudoir, than to put a sultry spin on the same concept?

This woman found me by chance, through what I believe, mutual friends online. I posted into my VIP Boudoir group (found here) that I really wanted to try a milk bath boudoir session and this sweet lady messaged me almost immediately. She showed up to her session with a TON of things and ideas and was 110% ready for her shoot! I was in total amazement! Based on what I knew about her through message consulting, she seemed like a pretty conservative and sweet lady with a good head on her shoulders. (I do pre-consults always since I shoot in my private residential studio) As a boudoir photographer, I ADORE women a bit on the unconventional side who think outside the box.

From our conversations throughout the session, I was able to hear her story and why she decided to book a boudoir session. She had been a stay at home mom for quite a few years and had an interview the next day. This was her way of taking a leap and putting herself out there…..reconnecting with herself. It must have worked because she got the job the same day as the interview!

This session taught me that we are ALL just normal women….good women….who really want that feeling of being sexy again….and dang it we’re allowed. There’s an empowering affect after seeing how gorgeous you are in a photograph that truly makes a woman unstoppable.

So be wild. Be daring. Take a chance. Dream on. Push forward.

It’s never too early to start planning your own themed or styled boudoir session. Contact me here or join my Private Boudoir VIP group here.

Do you ever scroll threw Facebook and see posts from a gal who struggles to love herself? I do…and it literally just sets me off. I don’t know why, but I kind of take it personal when I see a woman doubt herself. I just want to scream…”love yourself woman!!!”

I laid in bed last night and all I kept thinking was about the tale old Lover vs. Fighter conflict.

I believe you have to find your balance to love AND fight…because sometimes you have to fight your doubt so that you can love more. My mother raised me on the concept to FIGHT and I grew up through adolescence seeking LOVE. It was then that I realized you don’t just get love…you have to fight for it…and you have to learn how to fight in the right way….a way that’s constructive.

Not sure if you knew this about me yet….but I dig quotes. If you’re the gal sitting at the computer pointing a thoughtful finger saying “she’s so basic”, I will literally challenge you to an inspiration face off. Every gal, lady, girl, & woman, loves a good quote…. and I am here to share one of my favorites with you, “IT IS OK FOR YOU TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT”.

I face a lot of mom guilt when it comes to building my business. For something to be such a big part of my life, at times I question if it is what’s best for my family and my son. Then I affirm myself with this quote.

I have a friend who literally wakes up at about 5am everyday, with a traveling working husband who isn’t home often, and takes her kids on extraordinary adventures every day. EVERY DAY! She signs them up for events and competitions and dedicates every waking hour to them…..and wait a minute…..

her house is ALWAYS clean….I’m not even sure she drinks coffee. To be honest, I’m convinced that she’s an alien.

Did I mention she also runs a side business???

The lady is literally supermom,

so when I look at these images, I see her badass-ness and I’m reminded why boudoir matters so much….and why it is so important to me that she gets to be reminded of how amazing she is through these beautiful photographs.

Ladies, we are so damn amazing!

About a year ago, my little sister announced her engagement, and I was asked to shoot the wedding. About 6 months ago, I declared I was venturing into the art of Boudoir. Then about 3 months ago, I declared I was in the business of shooting Boudoir exclusively.

My sister’s wedding was this month on the 1st and since then, I have been working carefully through the hundreds of images captured on her big day. Although I already understood the value of wedding photography, this is one of those times that reminded me why I wished people understood the effort wedding photographers put forth. I OFTEN hear a lot of friends and family say “geez, look at these packages…I ought to get ME a camera and do this.”

I cringe every. single. time.

Anyway, since I am in the business of Boudoir, I posted two different edits of a portrait, asking for opinions. One was light and airy, the other -my pride and joy and image I was hoping everyone else liked- a more moody edit featuring shadows and depth. My heart sank as everyone started commenting “left” which was the pastel edit.

Almost every single person liked the opposite image of my liking.

You know when the universe sends you those little “uh huh….aren’t you glad you listened?” moments….this was one of those times for me. Boudoir is my lifeline.

Although this particular job wasn’t about me and was probably best a “light and airy” job, I couldn’t help but resist this criticism.

Being the moody and unconventional person that I am, I was so glad in that moment, that I found my niche’ a couple months back. Also that the moody and unconventional person that I am….works for Boudoir, and that moodiness that makes the session so sultry and seductive. Even living in the small city of Auburndale, Florida , I have found that this just so happens to be how women want to feel and look in their images… a little unconventional, a little moody, sultry, seductive, and bad ass.
