Be honest with yourself for a second. How long has it been since you stopped putting yourself on the back burner?How long since you filled your own cup instead of everyone else’s?How long since you made a decision that wasn’t about your kids, your partner, your friends, or your family? If you’re feeling drained, unfulfilled, and a […]

Take a big ole’ breath girlie. I cannot tell you how many messages I get that start with massive panic: “I just started my period and my shoot is tomorrow!!!!!”“MY PERIOD SHOWED UP… should I reschedule?”“Period here, dying, feeling bloated, gross, what the fuck do I do?!?” Stop panicking baby girl. Your period didn’t make […]

A woman lies on her back on a dark, textured faux-fur surface, photographed from above at a slight angle. She is wearing an open white button-down shirt that softly drapes over her body, revealing her collarbone, chest, and midsection in a natural, relaxed way. One hand gently holds the edge of the shirt near her chest, showing a delicate ring on her finger. Her long dark hair fans out beneath her head, and her face is turned slightly to the side with her eyes closed and a soft, content smile. The lighting is warm and moody, highlighting the natural contours of her body and creating an intimate, calm atmosphere that feels sensual yet serene.

At 34, she’s lived enough life to know when something deserves to be marked. Over the last year, her body changed dramatically, 75 pounds gone, discipline layered on discipline, consistency that required more mental strength than most people realize. She works as a senior bodily injury claims adjuster, a job that demands logic, emotional regulation, […]

Okay listen, I understand, I get it, the thought of Boudoir is insanely intimidating, right? What do you mean I have to pay money to get undressed in front of a complete stranger, when I’m already self conscious about my body, then I have to get into outfits I’ve never even thought about wearing before, […]

Look, I know the thought of a Boudoir Experience can be scary and overwhelming, and you might be thinking “awww fuck, what if yada yada yada”… It’s okay if you are low key spiraling, I’m here to catch you. Here are 10 things your boudoir photographer (that’s me, hi) truly, deeply, and unapologetically does not give a flying fuck […]

Let’s talk about confidence – that slippery, elusive thing we think we’re supposed to just have by now. From a young age, we’re taught to believe that confidence is something you’re either born with or not. And as life throws its jabs – comparison, judgment, trauma, expectations – it chips away at whatever we thought we had. But here’s the […]

Close-up black and white boudoir portrait of a woman in a black bra, softly posed with natural curves, delicate jewelry, and subtle body details — capturing vulnerability, self-love, and confidence at an Orange County boudoir photography studio.

You’ve probably heard me say it a million times – and maybe even from other boudoir photographers too – “Boudoir will change your life!” or “It will completely shift how you see yourself and your body!” I get it. It might sound like just another cliché at this point. You’re scrolling through Instagram, reading those […]

We’ve been taught to shrink ourselves. To hide our stretch marks, suck in our stomachs, and only feel beautiful when we fit into a size 00. And honestly? That’s complete bullshit. Boudoir isn’t just about taking sexy photos. It’s about undoing years of shame, self-doubt, and the belief that we’re somehow not enough as we are. Boudoir […]

Let’s be real, boudoir is vulnerable as hell. It’s standing in front of a camera, half-naked, trusting a near-stranger to capture you in a way that makes you feel sexy, empowered, and like the badass you are. That’s a big fucking deal. And I don’t take that trust lightly. Who I Am (And Why I Get […]
