Get yourself on my calendar. You’re a tigress. You’re about to look like a snack. A photoshoot can be the ultimate way to indulge and invest in your own self-worth.

Yet my core values are the same - aid others in the building of self-confidence. Give them the power to climb (negative self-talk) mountains. Light their hearts on fire with JOY. Inspire them to adore themselves shamelessly…

I won't tell you that a boudoir shoot will change your life if I haven't heard my clients consistently tell me that it has helped them immensely. It really can be something that marks a turning point for you. A boudoir session can be (and I tell you this because this is the feedback I've received) a document that marks a positive shift or change in your life; the beginning of an empowered journey; a visual journal of when you decided to make a choice to really start loving yourself and embrace all that it means….

Recently, my life has been in a transition phase with lots of shifts and uncertainties, and with that, fear.

While in my mind I like to think I accept change gracefully and with excitement, I find the letting go quite difficult before I’m able to welcome the new. I’m sentimental, very sentimental, a bleeding-heart romantic. I get attached to people, routine, and familiarity; I think we all do…

Women so often separate themselves from the notion of confidence, treating it as though it’s black and white - either they have it, or they don’t. I’ve heard women say, about doing their own boudoir session, “I’m not confident enough to do that.”

I used to feel guilty about loving fashion and makeup. I thought spending money on those things was superficial and pointless. Even though they brought me joy, I felt like it was wrong that they did. Truthfully…

Isn’t it wild we live in a society where we have to learn to love our bodies? I wonder when I learned to un-love mine. Do you know when you did? I think it’s gradual, like most things in life. The accumulation of body shaming in the media and the comments from women in our families on their weight formed the false conclusion for us as kids that some bodies are better than others…

Recently, I catch myself pausing before I speak or do; more and more I seem to choose the path of least resistance, the path where I’m safe from criticism. The other day I even hesitated to post a boudoir photo of myself because the “oh, what will they think” thoughts rolled in…

We're a few weeks into Spring, and I hope that for you spring breathes new life and possibility into your world. Opportunities for change, for growth, for a step forward and for a chance to let go of anything from a past that we need to let go of…

“Change is painful, Growth is painful But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” – Pat Moore

I don’t know how it’s April, but it’s April!

It can be argued that the only constant we have in our lives is change. Change is relentless, and we deal with it at every twist and turn in our day-to-day realities. It’s what makes life interesting and worth living, but also frustrating and challenging.

So we need a break! Enough with all the heaviness! I'm probably going a bit too deep these days, so I'm going to lighten it up a bit. Truth be told, I'm feeling more positive than I have in years, I seriously want to break into dance multiple times a day. Good thing no one sees that on my stories! Haha…

You know those sayings about how things are ‘as smooth as silk’ or ‘she has the velvet touch’?

I was thinking about that a bit today, about how fabric and texture utilizes one of the most important of our senses; touch.

You know when you meet someone and you kinda wish you could be like them? Like, why can’t I be as caring, patient, womanly, and deeply compassionate? You meet a person and they inspire you so much; they epitomize femininity but also are just so nice…

I did this session at the beginning of the year and I’ve been meaning to write about it (I’m blogging chronologically, you see!). Notably, when I asked about this wonderful woman’s motivation for doing the session, even though she has a fiance, she said it wasn’t for him, it was primarily for herself….

Hello lovely friends!

I just finished a 4-day photography conference/workshop in Ontario with some of the best boudoir photographers in Canada and the US; then I have a few days to spend with my family in Ontario - both have been great, and I'm glad to be able to do a "hard reset" on life, goals, family & friends, and my creative practice…

Okay, it's not really a boudoir singalong but humour me and pretend it's funny.

Women and nature; like the earth, women are the receptive - the fertile ground for the possibility of creation. The rhythms and cycles. How many of you notice the full moon when it's full? We harmonize with the moon….

Let's talk about going outside of one's comfort zone in order to get more comfortable in our own skin. She booked her boudoir session for this reason - she was trying new things and entering a new chapter in her life; one of self care, being more outgoing, developing a new appreciation for her body, and exploring parts of her life and her history she hadn't explored before…

I had a client recently say to me in an email, "sorry for all the hand-holding" regarding outfit choice consultation. It was an interesting comment because I think as women, we are taught to apologize a lot when asking for our needs or requests to be met....

I don't know what else to say? This boudoir session was seriously amazing. Not only is this woman totally freaking stunning, like the traffic-stopping kind, but she's also got a heart of gold. I mean, everyone does in their own special way, but this woman was not afraid to show it...

Oh blogging, how I sit and overthink each and every blog post. See, it's only because I care about those who read the blogs. I know that you're probably reading this because you're thinking about doing a boudoir session, and I'm wondering what it is you'd like to know about a session....
