When I first picked up my camera, I was like so many photographers — doing a bit of everything. Families, products, business portraits… you name it, I said yes to it. But over time, I started noticing something that I just couldn’t ignore. The mums weren’t getting in the pictures. They were the ones arranging the sessions, dressing the kids, making sure everyone looked perfect — yet when it came time to step in front of the camera, they’d hesitate. I’d hear:“Oh no, not me.”“M

I’ve heard it dozens—probably hundreds—of times: “I’ll book a shoot when I’ve lost a bit of weight.” “I just don’t feel confident enough yet.” “I’m not photogenic. I hate pictures of myself.” And honestly? I get it. We’ve been told, in so many subtle and not-so-subtle ways, that we have to earn  the right to feel good about ourselves.That confidence only comes after we’ve changed something. Lost the weight.

Pre-Session Prep Before your session even starts, we have a relaxed chat—either in person or over the phone. We talk about your comfort level, what outfits you might bring, your reasons fo

Here’s something you might not know: boudoir photography has been around for nearly 100 years. Long before selfies, digital cameras, or even film developing, women were stepping in front of the lens in their most confident, sensual form—often in lingerie, sometimes with nothing at all. Even before that, women were posing for paintings, sculptures, and sketches that celebrated the female form. Boudoir is rooted in art and empowerment, and I see it as a modern-day rite of passa

How many photos of yourself do you actually love? Most women avoid the camera like it’s a spotlight on all their insecurities. They say, “I’m not photogenic,” or “I hate how I look in pictures.” But here’s the truth: you don’t hate being photographed—you hate how rushed, unflattering, and unintentional those photos usually are. That’s where portrait photography changes the game. In a dedicated, one-on-one session, everything is crafted for you —the lighting, the angles, the m
