I’m tired of “Not Enough” | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
I’m tired of “not enough.” For the last who knows how many days (mainly cause I got off track and behind and well… yeah…) I have been doing a Body Positive post a day in my Facebook group Paula’s Boudoir Babes. It came out of seeing all of the posts around January 1. I was tired. I was tired seeing every post on social media about “I’m fat.” “I’m going on a diet to be prettier” “Jan 1, time to lose the weight” “Time to gain the muscle” It was seriously never ending and wrote in all the different ways. And from friends to businesses. UGH! Wait a second, no,…

My Boudoir Photos, the STRESS | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
If you were watching the LIVE in Paula’s Boudoir Babes, you probably saw the pre-workshop/shoot day for me. Let me recap for you! I was nervous. I was scared. I was second guessing all the things. There was no hair and makeup. There was just me. I did my makeup like I usually do for work and took a deep breath and said “This is me.” (cue the Greatest Showman song- This is ME!) I packed all my hopeful outfits and went to the workshop. The first part was couples and I watched as they were nervous in a room with NINE people photographing them at one point. It…

Resolutions: Are you ready? | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
It's almost the new year. All of us are deep into planning what will be our New Year's Resolution. Some of us have big resolutions. Others have small ones. When you have a business, it is no different. You want to make sure you are off to a good start and you want to prepare for the best year ever. So you go into panic mode near the end of the year, trying to get everything together ---that you have been planning on getting done for the last year. (Yup, I went there.) I have so many things on my list to get ready for the New Year and well...…

Value & Worth | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
The money conversation is always hard to start and to be in. But we all have to tackle it with our spouses, kids and businesses. And doggoneit! We’re worth it and money is a good thing to talk about! (You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero <- if you haven’t read it, go read it now. It’s good for everyone no matter if you are a business owner or not.) In 2019, our pricing model is going to be changing a bit! We are stepping away from the idea of multiple package for outfits, images, time, blah, blah blah, etc. It can be too confusing and frustrating.…

A Name | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
A name for this business has been one of the hardest things to do. There are so many neat names that some days I sit and wonder if there is a better one. But for boudoir, there isn’t. Boudoir is such an uniquely personal experience that I knew I wanted to make the name as personal as possible. I didn’t want you as clients to wonder who will be my photographer… or with a name like Peaces Photography, who does the photographing? (That is me btw. It’s my non Boudoir stuff) I wanted a name that said both what I do and who I am in one place. I want…

Welcome! | Springfield Boudoir Photographer
Well, hello... I am so glad you found my little piece of the internet. Please remember to be kind and supportive as you peruse through. This website is full of images of individuals that have took one step forward or more toward their goals — whether it be a gift, a moment of self love. They are amazing to me and I am beyond honored to be apart of their journey. Boudoir is a pretty special brand of photography to me. All of us want to be seen as an amazing, gorgeous badass of a woman (okay that might just be me.) It's hard to see that woman through our…
