Girl, yes. I was nervous before my boudoir shoots, too. Like couldn't sleep the night before my first one! (Yes, I have done two already and I plan to do more because they are so FREAKING fun.) BUT, even if you feel nervous coming in, I promise you will be pleasantly surprised at how much fun we will have together and how your confidence will build throughout the shoot as you start to own & rock your unique beauty.

Choosing your outfit for a boudoir session doesn't have to be a headache! Here are some killer tips: 1. Flaunt your best asset! Love your legs? Show them off! 2. Be you. Boudoir isn't just lace lingerie. Think sporty with Calvin Klein bras, edgy with leather jackets, or dreamy with bridal veils. 3. Bring something special. Maybe your partner's t-shirt, a guitar, or a piece of jewelry that means the world to you. 4. When in doubt, go black and lacy. It's a classic for a reason! 5. Details matter. Shoes, jewelry, your fave lipstick – these little touches make a big difference. And hey, I'm always here to help with outfit advice or anything else!

I totally recommend doing this! Again, I want you to feel comfortable, and beautiful, and very YOU! But, this is a special occasion and I’m guessing you don’t get photos like this taken very often. ;) You are worth it and I think it is a worthy investment that will last longer than just that day. It will be in your photos forever! And if it helps make you feel that much more confident in front of my camera, yes girl, do it! I am happy to make recommendations of amazing hair & make up artist if you need a recommendation. I also have a few artists that I work with regularly and who will come to my studio to do it for you!

This is totally up to your preference. We have all heard horror stories of spray tans gone wrong, so there is a risk, but for the most part in my experience, they tend to photograph beautifully in the natural light during my sessions. I suggest leaning towards the the conservative side when it comes to color, but if you are familiar with spray tans and get them regularly, stick with your normal routine.

I've photographed women of all ages – from brides in their 20s to women celebrating long-time anniversaries. There's no perfect age for boudoir. You're beautiful and worthy right now, no matter how many candles are on your cake! Just be at least 18 years old.

Absolutely! Every body is a bikini body. We come in all shapes and sizes, and that's what makes us beautiful and unique. I embrace all body types and hope you'll embrace your unique beauty during our session too.

I think we all have had insecurities and thoughts swirl around in our mind about being an “ideal” weight or bra size or look. Sister, if you have an insecurity you are struggling with - you are NOT alone!! My personal journey with self-acceptance and maintaining a positive body image is ongoing, not perfect, and it’s something I have to surrender to over and over. No, there is nothing wrong with working hard and prepping physically before this type of shoot - there is no shame in that! But I hope that you will be able to come in and accept your body in any phase of your journey & treat it kindly, and that I will be able to help you feel confident, beautiful, and free in front of my lens.

The phrase “photoshop” is funny. First of all, Photoshop is a noun. It’s a software program used for editing photos. But it has been turned into a verb and this phrase that people use jokingly with me all the time. “You can photoshop that out, right?” “You can just photoshop my butt, right?” “You can just photoshop these wrinkles out, right?” It usually reveals our insecurities because we are essentially asking, you can edit out all the things I consider flaws in myself, right? It is my job, as your photographer, to photograph you in the most flattering way possible. To accentuate what you love about yourself and help you see yourself in a fresh & beautiful way! I am not going to alter your natural appearance, because I believe it is BEAUTIFUL as it is & worth celebrating & capturing as it is! With that said - did you have a break out before our session? Girl, I got you. Did you have a blemish pop up in the center of your forehead the morning of our shoot? Honey, don’t worry. Those things aren’t you. They’re just Tuesday and they will go away. I will always edit those things out for you in my post-processing. I will also always add skin smoothing, which will soften wrinkles & cellulite, but not completely remove. Because that is what I would want, too! But no, I will not change the size of your arms, I will not remove all your wrinkles, I will not change the shape of your body. YOU are beautiful as you are. And it’s my goal to help you see it and reflect back to you the most beautiful image of yourself. If you have an insecurity you’d like to chat about, I am all ears. I want you to be heard and understood. For example, I had a client who had a scar on her back that she had recently acquired form a surgery that didn’t heal correctly. She said it brought back negative feelings towards the experience and she didn’t feel that it was a true part of who she was. I heard that and understood and was happy to remove them from her photos. It’s definitely an open conversation. But all in all, blemish removal and light retouching/softening are where I draw the line when it comes to retouching.

It's your call how much you want to bare. I've seen it all, and I'll be your hype girl every step of the way! Your body is amazing just as it is. 😉
