The Gift of Boudoir - Boca Raton Boudoir Session

“My photographs are on our bedroom wall, so I have seen them countless times since they have been hung, but every time I look at the pictures, I am still in awe that it is really me in them. I feel beautiful and sexy looking at them, but ironically, it is actually more of a daily reminder to myself to look internally as much as externally. When I look internally, these photographs make me feel empowered and I remind myself that I am capable, that I can do things outside of my comfort zone, and that I can have self- acceptance and self-compassion, because despite all my imperfections (as a wife, mother, and just person) - I am enough.”

The Art of Noticing

My favorite part of what he wrote was, “Being creative begins with noticing what others have overlooked.”

When I became a mother I felt incredibly overlooked and isolated. My entire pregnancy was spent being fawned over, making sure I was okay, doctors checking on me, etc. After I had my daughter it was no longer about my health, my needs, my wants, or my mental health. Even women who aren’t mothers are often overlooked and the ones who take care of everyone else in their lives.

My promise with each woman I photograph is that I’m going to bring them into the light. There is no more hiding. There is no more telling yourself that your family comes first and you’ll stay in the shadows.

Is it uncomfortable? ABSOLUTELY!

Is it necessary for growth? YES!

How Do I Find You

June 16, 2021 in boudoir, family, maternity, Personal

In a world where people just want the smallest, simplest piece of you, how do you show them that you need each other?

So much of owning a small business is meeting the people who will “get” what you do and want to be a part of it. If you’re doing it right, it’s not even a huge number of people, just enough that trust your vision and want it for themselves. But, when you have one minute to listen to their story and one minute to tell yours, how do you connect?

I’m so tired of the small talk, “I’m a life coach, oh, you’re a photographer? I need some new headshots.”

We know you do so much more than just coach people. Do you know that I do so much more than take a few photos of people?

How do we get there? How do we find meaning in these short conversations?

Searching for Yourself Doesn't Always Mean That You're Lost

April 07, 2021 in boudoir

I photograph women at so many different phases of their lives.

I talk a lot about women coming to me who have gone through huge life events and they want to document themselves in an intimate way. I also have women who want to be photographed because they want an experience all their own, as a form of self-love.

What I’ve noticed is that every single person that’s come to me has been searching for something.

Do It Because There Is Only One You and Your Legacy Matters

Imagine putting yourself first for once.

What would that feel like?

What could you create? What would that allow you to say “yes” to? What would that allow you to say “no” to?
