Doing Photography Wrong
There’s actually no wrong way to do photography because it is art. So I leaned into experimenting with blurry grainy images and wound up having an amazing time.
Let's play!
I recently got to do this session just for fun, to play around, and to create some portfolio images, and I love them! While Corina is absolutely gorgeous, and should be a model, she is not one, so I guided her through the session like I do all my clients.
Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.
Spring is here, and the flowers in my garden started blooming! I knew I wanted to do a spring boudoir session with them in a quirky style. I’ve worked with model Ana-Alicia before, and knew she would be perfect for this!

Letting Go of Control: My Own Boudoir Session
I want my clients to get the most out of their boudoir session, and that’s why it was so important for me to do one myself. It’s one thing to say every woman should do a session, but it’s another to know at your core, how true that is.
You Need New Eyes
“I’m a firm believer that one single experience can alter your mind, your path...your life. I’m a firm believer that ALL women should do boudoir. That’s such a hefty statement, but I stand beside it with my whole heart. About three years ago, I was a newish mom. I was prepared for sleepless nights and lots of uphill battles, but I think the one thing that I wasn’t prepared for was catching a glimpse of the stranger in my reflection.”
