Finding the courage to take your clothes off for a stranger is hard enough, but in a society that tells curvy women to keep themselves covered, booking a plus-size boudoir shoot is a major act of bravery and trust. Here's how to find the courage and...
Somebody asked me "why" the other day. Why do you do boudoir photography? Late last night I couldn't sleep because I had so many more answers than the easy one I gave. I do boudoir photography because I love it. Because I need to do it....
Angela contacted me after leaving an abusive relationship because she wanted to feel sexy and confident again. She booked her shoot with a friend who she said "packs enough courage for both of us" but let me tell you, I've never seen anything but courage...
Hey babe! I'm here to rant today. I'll add some gorgeous photos to keep you going, though, k? We don't actually want to lose weight The truth is, no-one really cares how much they weigh. I mean, apart from jockeys and MMA fighters. The rest of us,...
