Let's talk about finding joy in the beautiful vessel that carries us through life – our bodies! It's so easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to the past or chasing after an idealized version of who we used to be. I’ve done this my whole life - comparing myself and my body now to past (younger/thiner/etc) versions of it. But you know what? Right here, right now, is where our true power lies – in the present moment! I’m so ready to break that cycle, and I hope you are too.

+ Beth +

I had such a wonderful time working with Beth at her boudoir session. (And it was my first session in my new studio!!) As we chatted about her session, I asked her how she wanted to feel during her session, and when she looks at her photos. She said she wanted to feel joyful, confidant, and beautiful in her own body exactly as it is right now. We led with these feelings and intentions and embraced them throughout her session. I loved seeing Beth lean into these emotions, and embrace the full experience!

Things I've Unlearned

As a boudoir photographer, I’ve had to unlearn many things I’d been taught and shown around body image and our relationship to our bodies, and how that affects the way we move through life. From the toxic beauty industry, to society’s expectations around how our bodies are “supposed” to look, the way the media teaches us that we have to look a certain way to be desirable, the way some groups teach that bodies (especially women’s bodies and queer bodies) are inherently sinful and worthy of shame. There is SO much there to unpack…

Get you a photographer that can do both!

We are all multifaceted creatures, and I believe each aspect of ourselves deserves to be celebrated! And the cool thing is - even when those parts of ourselves are seemingly at odds with each other, there is unique power within each of them! That’s something I absolutely love being able photograph and witness. I never want to put your into a “one size fits all” box - your session is about YOU. Want some neon lights and edgy vibes? Let’s do it. Wanna rock a jacket instead of only lingerie? Hell yes! Want to embrace your softness and feminine energy as well? Let’s make that happen too! Don’t be afraid to embrace your unique magic!

Moody Springtime Inspired Boudoir Session

Springtime is one of my favorite times of year. When my good friend and go to makeup and hair artist Katie-Laine Thornton, and her assistant and beautiful friend Cat, planned a just for fun boudoir session at our new downtown Nashville studio space, I was so ready to incorporate some springtime blooms into the mix, while still keeping things moody, cause that’s my jam!
