I want to show you how amazing you are.

Starting at the age of 15, I began a lifelong quest of trying to find the perfect body. We all know the drill, and body shame put on us by our mothers, aunts, and grandmothers, whether on purpose or unknowingly. By the time I was 8, I was worried about being fat and that my butt was too bubbly (jokes on you,y’all)! My mother would pinch my sides and tell me to eat less, and I’d hear my aunts criticize my mother’s body as well. It led to a lot of years of a fucked up mindset.

I tried all the diets, exercises, and therapy, and it wasn’t ever good enough until I realized on my own that my body was mine and I loved it. How did I do that? It started one day when I was in the closet crying, my daughter came in and asked me what was wrong and I said I was fat and none of my clothes fit. A few days later I found my beautiful baby girl in her closet crying and saying she was fat. I decided then and there at that moment I would NEVER put my body down in front of her again. I began to empower myself with compliments that maybe I didn’t even believe at the time but slowly over time I began to see it. I used photography as a way to see myself and love who I was and began to photograph my friends in the same light.

My goal is to help you see yourself in a new light so that you can begin to fall madly in love with yourself. There is truly nothing more sexy than confidence. A Boudoir shoot will help you learn to love the woman who you have have forgotten, or never even met yet. You can also use this gift to look back on as you grow old.

Thanks to our Queen Moira Rose: We have her famous words to lead us into aging.

“Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself NOW. You may currently think oh I am too spooky, or my boobies are too small….One day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and think, my god I was a beautiful thing”. Moira Rose
