+ 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!

Intimate Fine Art Portrait Session

I absolutely loved this recent portrait session where I had the pleasure of photographing a fellow artist in my studio. I feel that there is a nature of vulnerable intimacy within these photos - and with strength, softness, light, and dark, all mixed together. We are all of us a mix of these things, and I think that when those can be seen in photographs, that it can lead to a feeling of human connection. Which I feel is one of the coolest aspects of photography! I’m so thankful for the trust that folks give to me in order to make portraits like these. It feels like such a gift to see and photograph your full, complex, inherently beautiful self!

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.

Your body doesn't need "fixed"

Take a moment and think about what you've been taught to feel about your body. If uplifting and empowering messaging doesn't immediately come to mind- know that you are not alone. We are taught, from so many sources, the opposite messaging. That our bodies are shameful and in need of constant "fixing," that they aren't worthy of love and desire if they don't fit society's ideal beauty mold. When was the last time you gave yourself the opportunity to just be where you are? To not try and fix what society tells you are flaws, and instead see yourself and your body for the magically unique being that you are? Right here. Right now. How would that feel?

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!

Self Love Begins With You

As soon as I realized that women were seeing themselves in a much more confident and empowered light after a boudoir session, I was hooked. My heart sang and I knew this was a big purpose in my life’s path-and it still is! I’ll always offer boudoir sessions, and those are a great fit for so many folks! But…I knew there could be more to it. I knew I had more to give. My heart, mind, and feet told me to keep exploring, to find that extra bit of light to help others work through their shadows and find a healthier relationship to their bodies. To help foster acceptance, as well as radical love, for themselves. From here, my newest offering, self love sessions, were born!
