"I feel betrayed by my body." I've read this a few times in the discussions on our Facebook group today, and in my work I hear this a lot. Our amazing bodies grow entire new humans, survive massive stress and illness, or just plain love...
No more excuses- Get in here and take off your clothes You've been considering doing a boudoir shoot. In fact, you've been thinking about it for a while. But here you are, reading this blog post instead of flouncing around my studio in your underwear. Why?...
I have a complicated relationship with Christmas. I love it- I love warm fires on cold nights, twinkling lights and the smell of pine, family and cookies and socially irresponsible carols about bullied reindeer. I love giving (and getting!) presents, and the way friends make...
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....

My favourite part of being a boudoir photographer is showing people their photos. The gasps, the shocked "Is that really me?!", the excitement, the relief, the tears...

To all of the strong, inspiring women in my life- thank you. You inspire me every day with your tenacity, your beauty, your creativity and generosity. I really do believe I have the best job in the world, and it's because of you. I started out...
