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…

I can't believe it is already the end of JUNE!!!  You know what that means?  CREEK SESSIONS will be here before we know it!!! I don't know about you but Swimsuit Season always makes me cringe. Don't get me wrong. I am about body acceptance. Yet every year, the nerves get me too.  I question how the suit from last year fits. I question whether it is the right outfit to wear. And I question why didn't I lose the weight. It makes me so crazy.  But I have learned as soon as my body touches that water, it won't matter anymore. It will be the suit that will be…

Limited Edition Cloud Sessions are back and better than ever! In 2022, I changed a few things and made the clouds something I fell in love even more with. Well this year, we are stepping it up! More color and prisms lighting up your session and making each session special. More time! I felt like my minis were just that mini and not a great capture of me. So now, I'm extending the time! So 45 minutes to play in the clouds with a variety of poses.  Which means more images to choose between!  There are two dates this year April 30 and May 13! And three slots on both…

Does anyone else have the Winter Blues right now? It's hard to believe it is March right now. I walked the dog and I needed my heavy coat, gloves and ear muffs. It was so cold in the wind when I'm writing this post. I feel almost as if I am Winter right now. I feel very much stuck in what is happening. My body feels frozen to what it wants to do. It wants to snuggle into a blanket and forget the world. It's hard when the weather does what you want to do too. It's hard to be motivated right now. It's COLD! Contrary to popular belief, I…
