I love a beautiful mountain backdrop, but there’

I love a beautiful mountain backdrop, but there’s always something so special about an in-home session. We really only need 1-2 corners of a home and a window.

I am forever grateful for the people who have had me document multiple stages in their lives. Congrats to these two babes. From engagement, to wedding, to travel, and now a baby. I can’t believe I’ve had the honor to capture it all. 🤍🤍🤍

I love shooting boudoir. I love playing with light

I love shooting boudoir. I love playing with light and how it spills across the beautiful shapes of the female body. Boudoir is all about whatever makes YOU feel good. We play music that makes you feel sexy and strong. It’s so easy to look at boudoir images and potentially think “I could never do that.” But almost every single lady I photograph is nervous about it. My job is to help you see yourself, to make sure you walk away feeling like an absolute badass, to reveal the goddess within. It’s a leap of trust, no matter the woman or her body, and I am always honored to be a part of it.

I’m so excited for this boudoir event because it’s a different more artistic approach than my usual events. It’s about your body but it’s also about the light and shadows, the beauty of florals around the feminine form.

This is a full day of pampering. Hair by @alpenglow.beauty, makeup by @vibe.artistry, charcuterie and bubbly, hanging out with other ladies, a beautiful house with a hot tub and view if you want to keep the vibes going all day.

You’ll select your favorite florals from four different color pallets and we will use those and different lighting to create your images. This is a great stepping stone if you’re nervous about boudoir but have been curious, because this event can focus on the small details of collar bones, hips, shoulders, etc. We can also utilize the whole body or booties if you want though. After our shoot, your selected flowers will be crafted into your own bespoke floral bundle, so you can take a piece of the magic home with you. Floral care will be explained with a breakdown of all your florals by @sirelifloral. Your take home bundle can be a hands-on guided creation, or Taline (our florist) can make your arrangement for you while you relax. Whatever you’re feeling like that day.

The event is April 21st, DM me for info or check my stories for links.

I hope to see you there 🤍
