At parties around this time of year people ask me why I shoot boudoir (or at least they did, back when we could breathe each other’s air), and everyone wants a quick light answer; but it’s so hard to put all of this into a snappy 20-second sound bite. So, here’s the long version.
I am a boudoir photographer because I want to root out that last kernel of insecurity hiding in every woman, shy or bold, scared or confident, uncertain or empowered, and set her free. To let you- all of you reading this- know that it’s okay to see yourself as beautiful exactly the way you are. That it’s okay to WANT to be beautiful. That art is at the core of what makes us human and the desire to make things beautiful and to make beautiful things is what keeps our cultures rich and our spirits vibrant. We see beauty all around us, so why do we call it vanity in ourselves? Why do we hold back?

Posted at 21:54h, 13 JanuaryStar, you work magic. I was a little nervous about my first shoot – well maybe a little more than a little – but you and Michelle had me feeling relaxed and comfortable with in minutes. However, it did take me almost and year to get up the courage to actually book! The experience was amazing and you made me feel relaxed, comfortable, and sexy! The boost to my confidence was amazing!
Thank you for what you do
