Why I Chose Boudoir

After the birth of my daughter, I went on a long journey of self-discovery and transformation. It took me nearly four years to reach a personal weight goal, and when I finally booked my own boudoir session, I was floored. Seeing myself through that lens made me feel strong, beautiful, and empowered. It wasn’t just about the photos—it was about the experience of reclaiming my confidence.

That moment inspired me to help other women feel the same. Whether you’ve just reached a personal goal, want to surprise your partner, or simply want to feel like your most radiant self, I’m here to create an experience that makes you feel incredible.

This is more than just photography. It’s about celebrating you.
