You’re unaware of the fact that you don’t love yourself until it’s too late. Every time you make a joke by beating yourself up. Every time you are sharing your presence with someone you know damn well is awful for you.  Every single time you punish yourself for having the appetite of eating things you […]

Ever feel like the entire Universe was connecting you with someone. Like you were destined to meet? I feel that way about Lizzie. When she reached out to me about wanting to do a boudoir session to prove to herself and other women of her age that sexiness and self-love isn’t something that you give […]

We are brought into this world loving ourselves. Babies can’t do anything but love. No child is brought into this world programmed to hate everything about themselves. That programing starts attacking our sweet brains so quickly though. We watch our mothers talk about how “fat” and “old” they are getting. We watch them compare themselves […]

This badass beauty came into the studio and lit it up immediately with her fiery personality. She hopped into the make-up chair bubbly with excitement. Upon greeting me, a complete stranger she only knew of on the internet she handed me three beautiful cards with quotes from Danielle Laporte. It was one of those moments […]

After a lot of cheering each other on to focus, […]

It was easy for Kellie to be comfortable in front of my camera for her most recent boudoir session, seeing as I have been photographing her since 2009 from engagement session to family and kids photos, to now her second boudoir session with me. This woman is such a badass wife, mother, cheerleading coach AND […]

There is no denying that photoshop has been selling us a lie of impossible beauty for decades. Perfectly airbrushed skin. Bodies molded in photoshop to sometimes look almost alien. Seeing these images in my youth and even into some of my adulthood they told me the story that I wasn’t enough. They told us all […]

Miss Monica was my first babe to be photographed in my new studio space in Hayward right outside the city of San Francisco! The perfect Bay Area location to create a safe, creative playland to help women see how very worthy of being photographed that they are. Talk about great taste. Miss M brought such […]

This girl was on FIRE. This beautiful mama of two came into the studio for some sexy self celebration photographs for herself! Looking for something to empower her, I had her roll around in sheets after she enjoyed some hair and makeup love. It is so amazing to watch these women drop their fears in […]
