This is what it feels like to be taken care of.

You may have never done anything like this before.

Maybe you used to feel really good in your body and somewhere along the way, that changed. Maybe you're still figuring out who you are, becoming someone new, or simply missing the woman you used to be.

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and feel disconnected from yourself. And I know how much it can mean to have a space where you don't have to perform, have it all together, or be anything other than exactly who you are that day.

Whatever brings you here, the experience often becomes about something deeper than photographs.

That's what I want this to be for you. Whichever version of you that may be. She belongs here. I care deeply about how you feel when you're in my studio. I pay attention to your energy, your comfort, your little reactions, the things you say and the things you don't. I don't want you to feel like you're being put through a boudoir photoshoot trying to look like someone else's idea of sexy. I want to bring out your personal legacy in these photos. I want you to see yourself in them and actually recognize the woman looking back at you for decades to come.

That's the magic I'm after.

I promise you don’t need to know what to do, I’ve got you. I'll walk you through the whole experience one step at a time, help you figure out how to prepare and what to wear, and guide you through posing and everything on the day of your session.

And please don't wait until you feel 100% ready. Your brain is very good at convincing you that there's always a better time, a better body, a better version of you waiting around the corner. Fuck that. You deserve to see how beautiful you are in this season of your life, without changing anything.

That’s also why I take a minimal approach to retouching. I’m not interested in changing your body into something it isn’t. I’d much rather use posing and light to bring out the things you already love about yourself, and then clean up the temporary stuff: tan lines, bug bites, acne, bruises, and anything else that won’t be there forever.

You’ll still look like you. Just the most badass version of your real self. You just need to come as you are. And I'll take it from there.

Let me show you what that looks like.

WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE IS REALLY ABOUT

02

This is a quick rundown of everything that happens before you ever step in front of the camera.

Booking → welcome guide → wardrobe consultation → relax

Once you're booked, you'll get your welcome guide with everything you need to know about preparing for your session, from what to wear and how to get ready, to what to expect and answers to the questions you might have along the way.

Then, about 2–3 months before your session, you'll come to the studio with any outfits you have in mind and we'll pull pieces from our studio closet to try on, too. We'll go over styling details, comfort levels, how much or how little skin you want to show, and the overall vibe you're going for. Then we'll tour the studio and take a look at the bonuses and product options.

This is also where a lot of the “OMG, I'm going to be naked in front of a camera” nerves start to disappear.

No wondering what the hell you're supposed to do and no figuring it all out alone.

By the time your session rolls around, we've already figured out the details together. You can just show up and let me take it from there.

how I take care of you before you even arrive

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

03

You'll arrive at 10 AM and typically be finished by 2–3 PM.

Hair + makeup → settle in → guided shooting → lunch break → reveal

When you arrive, our stylist will pamper you with full hair and makeup, focusing on a natural, polished look. Then we'll take a few minutes to slow down and settle in before we start shooting.

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do. I'll guide you through everything, and before we start, I'll introduce you to my breathing and movement method to help you get out of your head, settle into your body, and feel present and alive in it. From there, I'll guide you through every pose and movement, adjusting anything that doesn't feel good along the way.

After your shoot, you'll have about an hour to grab lunch or coffee, read, relax, or just hang at the studio and take some time for yourself while I prepare your images for the reveal.

Then you come back to the studio and see your images the same day.

We'll go through them together, I'll help you narrow down your favorites, then we’ll discuss skin retouching and product design, so you’re all done in one day!
