The Art of Noticing

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!

Boudoir isn't for everyone and neither am I

Boudoir isn't for everyone and neither am I

I want outrageous promises and to ask for outrageous demands. I want to create magic not for, but with my clients. I don’t want limitations based on based experiences or beliefs. I want to live in a world where we create our own, unique experiences. I’m not just offering an end product of art on their walls, I’m demanding we go on a journey together where there is no option other than growth and being uncomfortable at times. I want vulnerability that leads to courage. I want richness that we feel in our bones when we create together.

An Artful Boudoir Session

An Artful Boudoir Session

“For so long, I felt like I had only thought about beauty from a man's perspective and trying to be what he must find beautiful or sexy. I realized I was starting to develop my own definition of beauty and a way of appreciating it, and wanted to be a part of creating artful images that reflected/communicated my sense of beauty... a woman's sense of what's beautiful, aware that my definition of beauty is passed down to my daughter. I needed to demonstrate more self love for my body exactly the way that it is.”

The "Why" Behind Boudoir Photography | Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer | Intimate Portraiture

As I learned to exhale and take care of myself, I was able to allow others to inhale and exhale even deeper.

My clients gave me that freedom. These women allowed me to find myself and praised me for doing so. They never called me a fraud. They held my hand through it without even knowing.

All of this happened because I found my “why” in my work.

When women contact me about the possibility of a boudoir session, I want to get to THEIR "why". 

Why now? Why have you come to this decision? Why is this important to you?
