Every chance I get, I will advocate for ANY woman to do an intimate boudoir session. These sessions are so personal because you are stripped down, vulnerable and there is nothing to hide YOU. Every woman reacts differently to being in that situation and I am trained know how to take that anxiety or nervousness and turn it into something incredible that highlights the real you. Your personality. Your best features. Your big laughs. Your sultry glances. All the things that your

When you know who you are and where you are going... or at least have a pretty damn good idea, loving yourself and being comfortable in your own skin comes easily. Let me introduce you to Audrey. One badass boss lady that is killing her hairstyling biz and swimwear design and modeling. While on vacation in San Diego, I had to pleasure of squeezing in a quick boudoir session with Audrey in our mini AirBnB apartment. We had a good laugh about the Tetris we had to play while

HH has a story to tell. She has gone through some serious life changes and was ready to celebrate how she came out on the other side. She's one of those people that truly represents turning lemons into lemonade. Her spirit, smile and positivity cannot be broken. We had the most amazing time in the studio this past January getting to know each, sharing stories of body image struggles and joking about our killer dance moves. The session went by so quickly with some many mem

Amazing women make AMAZING portrait subjects. Dr. Michelle happened to be in town from Texas one weekend. She happened to hook up with an old friend (Sophia) and I happened to be free on a Saturday night... The Doc was looking for some new headshots for herself as she was kicking off her Instagram and Blog for her business - A Therapist specializing in Health Psychology. After we were done (and a little during) we shared some wine and found out we had so much in common. Gy

Can we talk about how great Shannon is for a minute?! Mom, hottie, wifey, badass. BOOM! Mic drop. Shannon came to the studio to play with me as part of my studio grand opening extravaganza and killed her boudoir session. We had so much fun. I think her hubby thought she ran away because we were shooting for so long. Enjoy a little peek at our afternoon together.

Brittany was my first "victim" in the new studio space and we had a blast. 90 minutes of hair, make-up, champagne, laughs and good tunes and about 3 hours of thoroughly breaking in the new space. With Brittany's session, we wanted to do a mix of more contemporary portraits and boudoir. We even played around with some low key shooting for some very moody, steamy images. Brittany got her swagger on and we created some stunning images. Hair: Tamara IG: @tamaraholdenhair Make

For those of you not aware, my husband and I have been quietly working on renovating a room in our home to create studio space for boudoir, portraits and headshots. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He's a drywall spackling machine and very creative. He helped me create a beautiful space, handmade headboard for the room and put up with my indecisiveness on some finishing touches. I am pretty lucky to have such a partner in crime because now I get to creat
