EMPOWERMENT FOR WOMEN, BY WOMEN.

Let’s get real for a moment. Growing up as a woman in this society is like navigating a minefield of unrealistic expectations and distorted ideals. We’re bombarded with messages from every corner, telling us how we should look, what we should wear, and why our bodies need constant fixing. I get it; I used to […]

I used to fall for every single fucking thing I was fed. I used to fall for every magazine that claimed I could “look like Jennifer Lopez in 3 easy steps” or how I could “Lose 20lbs by doing this one exercise”. I used to wish I looked like these Victoria’s Secret models on T.V. […]

Let’s talk about censorship in this current climate. Tiktok is the WORST offender of blocking my content that I post, and for what? A leg? A woman accepting her own body? A celebration of self love? It would be alright if they were consistent in what they don’t allow – but then you see big […]

The dreaded two-piece bra & panty set…  It haunts your dreams, you fear it knowing that your mid-section will be showing, and you just don’t have the body for a two-piece set, right? I’m here to flip that script so hard on it’s ass that it has no idea what day of the week I […]

I just recently had another Boudoir shoot of my own; I’m probably on shoot #59365382962 But this one was different.  I wanted to do something completely different than I had done in the past, and I wanted to do it with a purpose of showing my babes that lingerie doesn’t have to be the go-to. […]

I feel like I have been lucky enough in my life to have had some great experiences and to have accomplished a lot in work, in my personal relationships and in keeping my family close to my heart. When I was young I thought, as probably many do, that my worth would be tied to […]

As I have said before, I am lucky enough to love what I do. I absolutely believe in it. I have always felt that to be successful in any endeavor, you must have a passion for it; a desire that goes beyond the pocket book. Don’t get me wrong, making a living is great and […]

I couldn’t even tell you how many times in my career a curvy woman has asked me if she’s “allowed” to participate in a boudoir shoot. “I’m plus size, will I still look okay?”“I’m fat, so I can’t do something like this, I wish!”“I know this isn’t for chunky girls, but I thought I’d try […]

Well, here I am roughly a year after my first Boudoir shoot with my daughter Alyssa Michelle.  That is a year after my daughter had to drag me to her studio kicking and screaming, finally agreeing to it only because I had made her a promise that I would one day let her shoot me.  […]
