I've wanted to have a rain bay at the studio for years, but when my studio was in Carlisle, I didn't have the space for it. But! Because my studio is now at my house, I can build a rain bay in our temperature-controlled garage—I can use the bay all year round! However, I'm wondering if there would be enough interest from clients to justify building a rain bay, so I need your help by filling out this short survey to gauge the level of interest. Please take my survey and help me gauge the interest level ..read more

For the rest of 2014, I was busy learning-learning-learning. Learning more about lighting, about posing, about connecting with clients. I was learning what my "voice" is in photographs—bright and airy comes naturally to me, although I love the look of dark and moody. I was learning my "why"—why do I want to shoot boudoir, why are women booking me, why do I want to be the best boudoir photographer? And I think those answers are still the same a decade later: I want to shoot boudoir to create art and empower women of all shapes, sizes, and beliefs; women book me because I can relate to their str ..read more

It's finally complete! My new home studio in Dillsburg is officially opening on January 10th, but before I can photograph clients, I needed to play around with the lighting and see what worked the best in the space—strobe or constant.

Now that I'm settled into the new house, I took a moment and reviewed my collections and this put me on a path of reflection: What do women want when looking for a boudoir photographer? I started thinking about the women who book me and how they aren't looking for the cheapest deal—they want a boudoir photographer who offers an amazing EXPERIENCE. This made me ponder how I could enhance my clients' experience with my services and products. I decided to create a collection that includes a 2024 session and a FREE 2025 session, along with a bunch of images and other goodies that are not available ..read more

I love-love-love boudoir shower scenes! The images tend to have a dark & moody vibe, it's easy to diminish the midsection (most women's main concern), and let's just admit it—the images are sensual! I started shooting shower scenes in 2021 in my Carlisle studio, and at that time (because I didn't have a real shower to use), to achieve the wet look, I'd spray your body with a combination of water and glycerin to help the water stay beaded on your skin. I had a plexiglass "door," but I struggled getting water droplets to show up on the actual image ..read more
