January 2024 has come and gone… even though I swear it felt like it lasted for 4 years. How is that possible?? We started the year off with photographing the first of our 2024 Special Edition boudoir sessions and the theme was “Morning After”. I loved seeing how clients interpreted that vibe. We had messy hair, messy makeup, champagne bottles, pajamas, lingerie, nudes, etc. If it made you think of waking up after a great night then it was on the table as an option! Check out my favorite (shareable) images from January’s boudoir sessions! I can’t wait to create this month and show off ..read more

“How do you decide which images will be in color vs black and white?” This is one of the most common questions that I get, but not from clients! I get this question from fellow boudoir photographers (and other genres) as they are getting started on their jorney, or as they are just trying to refine their skills. The truth is, it’s VERY rare that I strongly feel one way or the other about a boudoir image’s edit. Occasionally I’ll capture in image that I know I’ll want to be in black and white, and those images are usually ones to do with movement (so a blurry boudoir hair flip) or light-shaping ..read more

Now that gift-giving for others is over, here are my favorite gifts for ME (and for you!). Start your year off with a little treat for yourself. My focus this year is going to be on taking care of ME so that I am better for others. This is 100% based on the airplane logic of putting on your oxygen mask before helping someone else, but I really and truly believe it. Here are my top gifts for myself that I believe make my life better, therefore making me better :) Plus… a lot of them are very fun.

Every few months I latch on to a new obsession when it comes to my work and how I photograph boudoir. I ALSO latch on to a new obsession in my personal life (here’s looking at you Sarah J. Maas universe), so at any given moment I’m obsessed with SOMETHING and it usually lasts about 3 months until another shiny object catches my attention. My current obsession in photography: movement and blur Blurry photos are typically not what clients have on their “I must have this shot” list. I remember when I used to shoot weddings and family portraits; delivering blurry photos was ill-advised 99% of the ..read more

Unless you’re regularly involved in styling for photoshoots, it can be really difficult to imagine how certain pieces will translate offline to on-body! This is ESPECIALLY true for styling boudoir sessions. There are myriad reasons for why it can be hard to imagine how a clothing or lingerie piece will work for a boudoir photoshoot. Mostly it has to do with how those clothing/lingerie pieces are photographed for e-commerce sites (bright flash, white backgrounds, etc) vs how they would be photographed in a boudoir studio setting (darker, softer, focusing on the client instead of the clothing ..read more
