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 we spread our art, knowing the very privilege it is to have the freedom to make it?

“The most courageous act in a world that is cruel and numb is to feel the pain and still choose to live with your heart wide open.” - James McCrae

How?

How do we see the ugly in the world around us and choose to create beauty?

How do we spread our art, knowing the very privilege it is to have the freedom to make it?

My "Why" of photographing Boudoir is ever evolving

May 05, 2024 in boudoir

Art has a way of healing and that’s been the common thread throughout my years of this work. While my reasons for being passionate about it might change and take new shape, my voice has always been for women. We need places to go where we feel seen. We need others to tell our stories so that we don’t get lost. We need gifts of silence in the day-to-day chaos. We deserve pockets of refuge in this vast existence.

Is It The Right Time For You To Finally Do That Session

January 22, 2020 in boudoir

I get so many emails and calls with women who say something along the lines of, “I’ve been dreaming of doing a session like this for years, but I’m still a little scared.” Or “I’ve been following your work for years and was always to afraid to reach out. It was too real if I contacted you.”

It’s amazing to me the amount of women that are yearning for a boudoir session. I honestly can’t stand the word “boudoir” as it doesn’t feel true to what I’m trying to convey for my clients. I would rather call them “Discovery Sessions”.

The best thing to remember is that you aren’t doing this alone.

I’ve got you.

And, you’ll soon discover that you’re braver than you think and that YOU’VE got you.

I’m sharing Erin’s boudoir session, again, because it’s being featured on Bajan Wed and I’m still in love with every photograph.

Erin's boudoir session is still one of my favorites. She came a little unsure of how the session would go. She, like every woman, has insecurities and doubts. This is honestly why I believe that every woman should do a boudoir session at some point in her life (if not multiple times). She showed up with her sister who ended up being her biggest cheerleader. It was such an encouraging and empowering session. It was three women constantly praising Erin and letting her know just how phenomenal she is. It was something that radiated so far beyond her beautiful face and elongated body.
