During your class with me you will….

When we don't regularly see ourselves, especially through kind eyes, we forget what we look like currently. Then when we see an older photo of us, we instantly notice all the differences. We begin comparing ourselves and how our body looks now with how we used to look. We stop wanting to be in photos because we don't want to be reminded of that. We stop looking in the mirror as much. Our mindset shifts and we start internalizing all of our perceived flaws. BUT, we can slowly shift this and reassure ourselves that we are safe and it is ok and natural to change, and our bodies will... because how could you go through this life and all the adventures, love, grief, and evolution without our bodies changing along with us? It's the nature of being alive.

A bridal boudoir session is not just a photoshoot; it's a celebration of your individuality, a declaration of self-love, and a testament to the connection you and your soon-to-be spouse share. By embracing empowerment through vulnerability, you're not only gifting your partner with a beautiful set of photographs but you are also gifting yourself with a deeper understanding of your own sensuality, strength, and self-worth!

Just as flowers bring joy and inspiration to the world, individuals who have bloomed into their own unique beauty can have a profound impact on those around them. We can inspire others through our authenticity, resilience, and the way we embrace our individuality. Our blossoming serves as a reminder that each person has their own journey, their own gifts, and their own path to traverse. This group empowerment session around these ideas was absolutely magical!

I've been working with this babe since I first started photography (a little over 12 years ago!) and it's been so fun to see how we've both grown over the years. We’ve done shoots of all kinds in so many places over the years, but we finally had a chance to shoot at my studio together for the first time, and it felt so good to create these boudoir and fine art portraits with her again! I love being able to explore multiple looks and vibes within a session, and it was so fun to just get in flow with each other and see what came out of it. I’m really so in love with these images!

I want your photos to represent you, as the work of art that you are. And in that sense, we are co-creators. Unless I’m shooting myself, or still life, I can’t create this art without you. YOU are the essential component . You are vital. You are worthy of being seen. You are worthy of seeing yourself in all of your artful splendor. No matter where you are in your relationship to yourself and your body, know that you are worthy of love and admiration exactly where you are in the present.

The main body image hang-ups that I've encountered with folks, and with myself, are so often around bellies. We hold so much power and strength in this area, yet we relentlessly tell it it's not "good" because it doesn't look a certain way. But here's a reminder : bellies aren't good or bad...they are simply bellies. Your belly doesn't hold moral worth, the way it looks doesn't make you a good or bad person, it doesn't make you more or less capable of experiencing desire or pleasure simply because of how it looks, and it definitely is not worthy of the shame that we so often carry around it.

This post is for my fellow ADHD folks! If you have ADHD you are probably familiar with the notion and experience of object permanence. Object permanence, put simply, is the ability to understand that an object continues to exist, even though it can no longer be seen, heard or touched. This is something that most ADHD folks experience issues with regularly! This is something that most ADHD folks experience issues with regularly! You know the phrase “out of sight, out of mind?” That’s literally what we deal with on a regular basis. If we don’t see it, especially regularly, then it really is easy to forget it exists.

I decided to go back to Amy this year for a boudoir shoot on my second anniversary of starting HRT and I had no idea how emotional the delivery of these images would be. When I saw the first photograph my heart soared! I was looking at me... For one of the first times in my life I saw ME. That "famous actress" I always dreamed of being. I was in tears! Thank you Amy for not just capturing the essence of me. Thank you for seeing me and understanding me. Thank you for caring about your clients and the strides you take to make these experiences the special soul-treats that they are.” -Kara

It’s a great reminder that softness and kindness are incredible strengths that truly do lead to empowerment!

“During the shoot, Amy was very encouraging and kept reassuring me that I was gorgeous and the photos were beautiful. When she showed me the images during the reveal, I was shocked. I was like, “ Damn! who’s that girl?!?” She captured a beautiful me and not the sad, ashamed me who hides from the camera.” -Laura

This vivacious human is such an amazing person and we had so much fun working together on this session! I’ve always been obsessed with her fiery red hair, and I had a vision for her session to pair it with some luscious green fabrics. It also just so happened to have snowed the week before, so we had to take advantage of the sunshine that came out mixed with the snow on a rooftop!

Hey YOU! Here’s a gentle reminder to show yourself as much love as you do anyone else- this valentines day and every day. I am a HUGE proponent of celebrating love any chance you can get- especially love for your own damn self! So when this beauty reached out to me about setting up a session to do just that- celebrate her own love for herself and being her own badass valentine- I was absolutely down for that! I LOVED this session. It was full of the best energy, self love and celebration, and Cat completely owning her own sensuality.

There are so many gifts a boudoir session can offer, and I'm so happy I get to play a part in that! These sessions can help with finding love for your body, with finding empowerment within yourself, and also with celebrating your own unique self! Every human deserves to feel these things, and I love that they can be found in something as fun as a boudoir session.

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!
