What Is Boudoir?

There's a lot of misconceptions about boudoir that I'd like to straighten out. Here's what you should be aware of:

❤️‍🔥 Boudoir is a massive genre that has evolved so much over the years. It isn't just about women lounging in bedrooms anymore, it is at its core sensuality and intimacy for ALL genders and sexualities. 

 

❤️‍🔥 Age is never a factor when deciding to explore your sexuality, as long as you are of legal age, I encourage you to continue exploring your desires and I would love to capture the results of what you have learned. 

❤️‍🔥 Your pants or bra size is the least of my concerns and it should NEVER hold you back from being the badass that I know you are. Show off and show out, you are phenomenal. 

❤️‍🔥 Stepping into boudoir can feel a little intimidating at first. That is right, I said it. It is vulnerable and it involves a lot of trust in a practical stranger. I know this, I have been in your shoes, and it isn't empty platitudes when I say, "I've got you!" 

❤️‍🔥 This is an investment into YOU, you deserve to come first and if you are looking for a sign or some unnecessary permission, this is it. You are worthy of showing off, you are enough just as you are right now.

CELEBRATE YOUR BADASSERY

This is your moment to shut down the inner critic, flip the script, and see yourself the way you should. Boudoir isn’t just about looking hot (though trust me, you will); it’s about feeling it, owning it, and carrying that energy into every corner of your life.

HONOR YOUR JOURNEY

Big birthday? Anniversaries? Crushing life’s chaos like the badass you are? Whatever the milestone, this is your time. A boudoir session is how you say, "Hell yes, I did that!" and "Here’s to what’s next."

STEP OUTSIDE OF YOUR BOX

Boudoir is more than a photoshoot—it’s a wake-up call to reconnect with the bold, sensual, unstoppable force inside you. Yes, it’s nerve-wracking. And yes, you’re gonna leave with photos that make you wonder, “Who is that goddess?!” Spoiler: it’s you.

About

Meet Your Favorite New Person!

This picture makes me look way more wholesome than I probably am. I am the queen of dad jokes and random animal noises at my house. I have a stunningly patient husband, 12 year old beautifully autistic sour patch kid son who won't stop getting bigger no matter how much I beg for him to, and I have a fresh addition of another little man born June 2024. Puberty and infancy at the same time...send all the good vibes my way, please!

My house is full of strange quirks, and A LOT of pets. When I am not with them or with an amazing client, you can probably find me mostly naked somewhere trying new set ideas on myself before releasing them to everyone or reading a book... or doing the laundry that never ends.

 

I have had a camera since I was in high school (we won't talk about how long ago that was). I made the transition to be exclusively boudoir in 2020 and I will never go back. I pride myself on my client experience and believe that EVERYbody is worthy of showing off; your age, gender, and sexuality should never hold you back from feeling beautiful.

 

Through working with me, I will be there as much or as little as you need me to. I won't just leave you hanging, and all of my experience is at your fingertips. All you have to do is ask and I will do my very best to answer all of your questions, ease those nerves, and make your dream session come true!

Why Should You Book With Me?

Booking a boudoir session with me goes way beyond a traditional shoot and burn. Booking a session with me is like taking a step towards:

🌹 Being thankful for your body and all that it has allowed you to accomplish. 

 

🌹 Realizing that you are your own worst critic, and should be nicer to yourself.
 

🌹 Releasing that inner badass that I know is in there!

🌹 Looking in the mirror and seeing more than just the many roles you have. You are so much more than your responsibilities.  

🌹 Celebrating yourself and your milestones in life. It is important! After all, at the end of the day, you are the only you there is so treat yourself to your bucket list.

🌹 Realizing it is okay to do something just because you want to. That your mental health is important, and YOU are important. 

🌹 Giving yourself permission to not only look beautiful but to FEEL beautiful. (They are two very different things!)

Fine Art & Luxury Albums

After your session, we'll review all of your photos and start customizing your custom artwork. My heirloom quality products will be there to always remind you of the fierce badass you are.
