Wanna know a secret? Shooting boudoir was a step outside of my comfort zone too. But the year I started, I made a promise to myself to step outside of my comfort zone. And I am so glad that I did because now boudoir is the ONLY thing I want to photograph. And guess what, I share those nerves with you before every session. Because it’s totally normal and I welcome any and all emotions that come on during this experience. After the first 5 minutes, those nerves start to quiet and by the end, you may not even recognize yourself. I hear “when can I do that again?” on the regular. 

You absolutely are and I am going to help you see it. But it’s also my job to help bring out that sexy. Believe me, you are not on your own. I will coach you, guide you and cheer you on throughout this experience. At times, I’ll help you play up the sexy through prompts and poses. Other times, I will capture you as the natural beautiful that you are.

People often say the camera adds 10 pounds but, honestly, I call BS on that. A great photographer knows how to pose and style a wardrobe to make you feel your most confident and look your best. I will guide you through wardrobe choices that accentuate your best assets and help coach you into poses that naturally elongate the body and enhance your natural curves. Plus, wouldn’t it be really amazing if we stopped tricking ourselves into believing that we need to lose 10 pounds? Let’s just release that pressure from our lives right now. Feel better? Me too.

My boudoir experience is meant to celebrate you in this season of your life and to allow you to see yourself as the beauty that you are. So photoshop? Kinda but not really. Let me explain. I intricately retouch each image by smoothing skin and enhancing the overall image with my editing style. But that photoshop you speak of? I do that in camera through posing and wardrobe. My favorite part of my photoshop free approach is watching you see yourself as the work of art that you are, no photoshop necessary. 

After you book your session, I send you a questionnaire that helps me have a better sense of your style and concept for the session. After that, the fun part begins with a mood board collaboration. I begin adding pieces that are linked to actual shops my clients have had a positive experience with. Some women like to work in props, while others like to keep it simple. I help guide you through wardrobe styles and fit to bring your vision to life. 

I never share images without written permission. Your images are for YOU and whoever you choose to enjoy them with. You may have already noticed a lot of the same beautiful faces on my website and instagram! That’s because I purposefully book portfolio sessions throughout the year with individuals that allow me to use their images so I can show you all the gorgeousness I hope you create for you without compromising anyone's privacy. Believe me, I fully understand.

The longest relationship you will ever be in, the one you will work the hardest on, the one that will be equally the most challenging and rewarding, is the relationship you have with yourself. Be your own superhero. Be a gift to yourself. Give yourself the love you so freely give to others. 

My private studio is located in Westwood, New Jersey. If you haven't been before, highly recommend! It's just the sweetest town. What I love most about my studio...besides everything? The natural light, exposed brick wall, designated changing area, reveal space and private bathroom would be a few. But truly, the space is my happy place. Every time I walk through the doors of my studio, I feel at home and I hope you do too.

Budget 3-4 hours for your experience. I like to designate An hour and a half for hair and makeup. And our shoot time will be, at most, two hours. Posing is no joke and hard work! You will most likely be sore the next day....which means you did a good job!

Ready for this...the SAME DAY!!! The fun and excitement doesn’t end once we stop shooting. We'll break for an hour-ish and you'll come back to view your photos and design your album!

Of course! Boudoir is a luxury experience and we’ll make a payment schedule work according to your timeline.
