Why Boudoir Photography

Why I choose boudoir photography to help my clients.

Why Boudoir Photography?

I have been a boudoir photographer for 18 years now. Wow! My studio is a full fledged adult this year. That is WILD! And yes my “Why” has evolved with each passing year. It’s not enough to say that it’s a totally kick ass job, it is, BUT that’s not WHY I do it. I do this type of work because one of my core values is to leave people better than I found them. It’s important to me to spend my time improving women’s lives. I might not be able to single handedly close pay gaps, smash the patriarchy and make knowing what’s for dinner any easier but I know, I KNOW, how to make you feel better about being in the skin your in. I KNOW how to help you step into your power and reclaim your confidence. And I know that when you feel better, when you feel in your power, when you feel confident, then YOU can go out and live your very best life. Knowing that I had a hand in helping you walk through the world more fully in your power is seriously the best feeling. I get so much out of lifting women up that it lifts me up too.

In my photography I still want to highlight your sensuality, show you how sexy you are, how beautiful you are and also show you your vulnerability, your strength and your own brand of feminine power. My goal is to help women connect with themselves again. To help secure whatever facet of your energy that needs healing in that moment. To help you feel more fully YOU. Powerful, joyful, sensual, sexy and secure. Confident in being your whole self. Boudoir photography allows me to show you all the beauty that already exists within you. It enables me to help you feel empowered.

The Transformation

One of the best parts of working with women is watching your confidence awaken. I love seeing you go from being a nervous while sitting in the makeup chair to getting bold and sassy with me during the actual shoot. I LOVE that I get to bear witness to your strength emerging. Transformation can be scary, sometimes painful, but it’s also freeing and oh so beautiful. No matter where you are in your life’s journey I want to help you reclaim your confidence and step into your power.

A Little Piece of My Story

I’ve felt that confidence grow in myself each time I’ve had a boudoir session. I had my first session when I was 26 and experiencing my first divorce. I did another one at 40 when I was on the cusp of my second divorce. Few things in life can derail your self image like being in a toxic marriage and I did it twice. Even when you know you’re going to be better off post D so much self doubt creeps in. Both divorces were painful and both left me feeling like I no longer knew who I was. I was not just questioning my beauty but my value in general, and my sanity. Narcissism and pathological lying can hit you hard and leave you reeling for years to come.

Each of the sessions I had during these times showed me that yeah, I was still sexy, BUT more than that I was fucking powerful. I had misplaced who I was in both of those relationships and a boudoir session helped me start to find myself each time. They helped me reconnect with my survivor, my fighter, my power and my divine feminine energy. Energy that would propel me forward in the next phase of my life. 

Life is presenting new challenges because that’s what life does but now I have a pool of strength and confidence to draw from that reminds me that I am a powerhouse. Dam near unstoppable. My sense of purpose is ever changing, as is my view of beauty, and that excites me. Helping women feel good about themselves will always be my goal.
