This magical group of women recently booked a spicy selfie class with me and we had the most fun! Their laughter, and encouragement of each other, was just such a treat to be a part of!

WHAT DOES A SPICY SELFIE CLASS ENTAIL, YOU MIGHT ASK? I’VE GOT THE ANSWERS!

During your class with me you will….

Stop Comparing Yourself to Yourself!

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.

You Deserve To See Yourself

This beautiful human booked a boudoir session with me recently, and one of the inspirations for having a session came from the advice of the fabulous Moira Rose on Schitts Creek. This wise woman said:

“Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"

Why Zooming In On Your Photos Can Affect Your Body Image

We all do it. You know that feeling, when you're looking at a photo of yourself and you instantly start to zoom in to see all the little details of the image. When we do this we're typically not looking for the good things, but rather the things in which we feel most uncomfortable about with ourselves.

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.

Thank You 2022!

Each and every one of the incredible humans I’ve had the chance to meet and work with this year has taught me something. Each time someone trusts me to capture special moments for them, to be there during vulnerable experiences, to see them in their truth, and to celebrate themselves exactly where they are – is such a powerful gift.

Our Relationship With Our Bellies

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.

Talk about a goddess! This beauty has been one of the best friends of mine for around 10 years or so now, and she is just amazing!! I’ve loved creating with her over the years. It had been a while since she was in front of my camera, so we made a day of it. It felt so good to be creative and play with different looks and lighting. She is such a beautiful soul!. Her boudoir session was as magical as she is!

“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

“From the beginning of my session Amy made me feel completely comfortable. I suffer from chronic illness/pain and she was constantly checking in, making sure I was okay during the poses. I had the most wonderful time and it made me truly appreciate all the amazing things my body can still do!” -Melanie

Love your own self this Valentines Day!

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.

The Gifts of Boudoir

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.
