Whether you have a partner or not, indulging in some self-care this Valentine’s Day will breathe new life into your relationship with yourself.

In doing so, you will be able to show up more presently in ALL of your relationships and roles.

I like to take this time to reflect on my self-care practices and indulge however I am drawn to do so.

Sometimes this means booking myself a massage and other times it means splurging on that lingerie piece I have been eyeing.

After the busyness of the new year, I am sure we are all craving a little time to treat ourselves and feel pampered.

So why not give yourself that luxury!?

This shoot blew me away. To be honest, I knew it would when Mandy shared her vision for her images but seeing them come to life was on another level. Seeing Mandy embrace her inner vixen and show up fearlessly in front of the camera took my breath away.

For many of my clients, sharing their true vision for their images, wardrobe looks, and hair and makeup can feel very vulnerable. It’s not often that we are encouraged to express these deep parts of ourselves. But, when you do, you will radiate confidence and self-worth from the inside out.

In doing so, your images will represent an inner transformation that only you or an intimate partner can truly understand.

I was thrilled to hear that Mandy was comfortable sharing her images on the blog with you…

So you’ve booked your boudoir shoot and your session day is quickly approaching. Like so many of my clients, you have a running list of all of the things you want to get done before shoot day. Like, “lose that extra weight”, “clear up those blemishes”, “heal those stretch marks”.

The list could go on and on…

Babe, I’m here to tell you that you can ditch that never-ending to-do list. '“Why is that?”, you might be asking. Because, the purpose of your boudoir shoot is to unleash your natural beauty, not change anything about yourself.

Oftentimes, booking a boudoir shoot can feel like taking a leap of faith. You might be wondering, “am I really ready for this experience or should I wait until all the stars align?”

Well, the truth is you are likely far more prepared and ready to experience this empowering journey than you might think!

I know it may be hard to believe because, on the outside looking in, the women in our photos look like they’ve got it all figured out, right?

For many of my boudoir photography clients, going nude for their photo shoot is a carefully thought-out decision. And for some women, bearing it all in front of the camera is their main reason for booking in the first place!

We are all at different stages with our body confidence. As your boudoir photographer, my job is to meet you where you are at and guide you through the experience that is most aligned with who you are.

Having your boudoir photos taken surrounded by nature is one of the most liberating experiences you can have.

Not only do you get to enjoy the empowerment that comes along with doing a boudoir shoot, but being outdoors will remind you of the natural beauty within you.

For so many of my clients who do outdoor shoots, privacy is a big concern of theirs. But, all of our outdoor locations are private and secluded so we can make sure you are in an environment that feels safe and comfortable…

A super simple way to set yourself up for success is to practice an intentional morning routine before your shoot.

This will help you calm your nervous system and be fully present for your experience.

To allow your inner goddess to come alive…

In this post, I’m going to share with you a relaxing pre-shoot routine to help inspire a self-loving morning…

Wanting to do a boudoir session is really the only reason you ever need to justify booking one.

No matter who you are, where you’re coming from, or why you want pictures of yourself taken, you are worthy of this experience and I would be honored to guide you through it.

So many of my clients share that they were eyeing our studio’s work and had to wait for the perfect moment to finally reach out and book.

But the truth is, there will never be a more perfect moment to book your boudoir shoot than now.

Because the present version of you is just as worthy as any other version… no matter the occasion.

Regardless, I want to share with you 30 Reasons to Book a Boudoir Session.

With each holiday season, I always find myself reflecting on the previous year. With a healthy family, a thriving business, and exciting things on the horizon, I always have countless things to be thankful for.

This year, in particular, I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for all of the amazing women, experiences, and milestones that we’ve had the honor of celebrating in 2021…

Whether you are pregnant with your first, second, third, or last child—your pregnant body is something to be celebrated.

Pregnancy brings all types of days, the good and the bad, the uncomfortable and the blissful. But all of the days seem to fly by and then suddenly you have a baby in your arms.

Maternity boudoir helps you celebrate the little moments in pregnancy and offers you the chance to meditate on your body and where you are in your pregnancy journey now.
