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?

It's Time to Write Your Own Story

October 07, 2020 in boudoir

I saw something yesterday that said, “Write your own story”. How can those 4 words evoke so much inside of me? About an hour before reading those words, I discovered something I wrote when I was in the middle of my darkest year (2017). I had lost my dog, my grandfather, my uncle and my grandmother, all within a few months. I then asked my husband for a divorce. I was spiraling, but maintaining (it was only from having support from those around me). What I wrote on the pages of my journal was why it was so important for me to write my own story.

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.

A Boudoir Session Can Help With Your Anxiety

November 06, 2019 in boudoir

This article really hit home for me. “I have generalized anxiety disorder, which seeps into every aspect of my life, including my appearance.”, says the writer, Jamie Friedlander. There have been times I’ve been completely obsessed with my appearance and other times where I won’t wear makeup for weeks at a time. It just depends on how I’m feeling about myself overall. What I love about Jamie’s experience is that she did it. That’s it. That was so incredibly brave to face down her anxiety and do the damn session. Anxiety is such an enemy and just waking up and facing it day-to-day is a feat in itself.

I was crying the entire time I was reading Jamie’s words. These tears were two-part for me. I felt Jamie’s fear. I felt her crippling anxiety and obsession. On the other hand, I know what boudoir can do for women and it made me smile, through those tears, knowing that another deserving woman saw herself differently that day. She now has a reminder of how INCREDIBLE she is every time she looks at her photographs.

This in-home West Palm Beach boudoir session is full of gorgeous light, piercing blue eyes, geometrical tattoos, and an incredible woman. Some of my blog posts consists of stories and really deep conversations. Sometimes I feel that the photos tell their own story and no words are needed.
