Boudoir by Paula

I am still swooning over this green set for our boudoir session. She walked in with this and said let's do it! I was so excited. It looked so high end and gorgeous. Her blond hair and skin! GORGEOUS!!!! We got to chatting about because every light I photographed it in, I had to know where she got it from! It was SHIEN! I was so impressed and it photographed well. The moral of the story is find something you love and you might be surprised at how well it is captured. Sign me up!

I got fascinated by Shibari Rope art back in 2018 after reading a Christine Feehan book. I had been curious as Pinterest was showing me some amazing flower images and I knew I wanted to create more. In 2020, the rope artist I was working with moved.  So when someone recommended a new artist to me in 2024, I was super excited about what kind of magic we could create. I hollered at a friend and we started a group chat with the artist, Xavier.  To be honest, the session took forever to planned thanks to my horrible 2024 but we did finally meet and take some amazing images! I…

Every time I start to work on this post. I get derailed! Well I'm back at it. Blogging. Talking about boudoir and all the things that make me happy! As you have figured out from this post, it's literally the ramblings of me. Where I can chat about everything and nothing at the same time. But it is a space for you to get to know me more, not just a space for all of the beautiful and amazing women that come and visit me here at the studio. 2025 is going better-ish? then 2024. I am looking for another full-time job so there's that. (Hats off to those of…

For years, I have tried doing a blue Christmas design. I loved it. I wanted to share it. But I felt like something was missing all the time. Then 2023 happened. I decided we are changing it up. And the red explosion happened! And it was like it was meant to always be that way. So this was one of the first sets taking in the new Christmas set! And I loved it so much that it is coming back for 2024!!! We even pulled out the candy canes to play with some cool ideas I had. A session works after a bit with ideas from both sides. So if…

I hadn't touched a brush in months. I couldn't tell you the last time I painted for fun way before my dad's first surgery. Painting is therapy. I know I took my watercolors with me when he was in the hospital in June. But I left them when I went the next time. When I got back in town, I wanted to create, but I felt so blocked. I didn't want to pick up my camera. I didn't want to sit at the computer and write or edit. I wanted to sit and numb. A friend reached out wanting to pictures and I suggested this crazy idea of paint. I…

For the first time in months, I'm sitting at my computer at my desk in my house, ready to work and dream. It has been a super hard 2024. I'm sorry if you felt like I disappeared... I did. Losing a dad will do that to you. You can feel like it's all a dream. You can feel like there is something missing but the world keeps going on. I can't describe it completely. It's honestly something I don't think you will get until you have that person in your life disappear, which I don't wish on anyone. But I'm alive. I am still a photographer. I still love boudoir…

Lean on meWhen you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry on... It can get very lonely as a photographer when you don't have friends that understand the stresses and the frustrations of owning a photography business. Luckily for me, I met some pretty amazing boudoir photographers that have become good friends. So when I was talking to one about just feeling that extreme loneliness earlier this year, it seemed to be affecting them as well. So after some much needed planning. We made a plan to get together. Kendra who runs Phoenix Fire Boudoir, let us crash at her studio for the day.  It was needed and…
