"Yes. Boudoir is definitely "extra" and no, it's not a necessity . . .
but for many women, boudoir ends up being exactly the experience they needed to spark or heal something inside them. so, no matter what your story is or where you are at in life, it's never the wrong time to do something exciting & fun just for you!"

I've lived through relationships that lifted me up — and one in my early 20s that tore me down. That abusive chapter left me confused, insecure, and questioning my worth. I spent 5 years living in low-income housing, desperately trying to put the pieces back together.

Since then, I've been married, became a mom, got divorced, and faced demons I never asked for. I even walked away from my career as a middle school teacher to chase a dream — creating a space where women could see themselves in a new, powerful light.

My first boudoir shoot changed everything for me. I remember looking at the photos and thinking: “Wow. That's really me.” That moment gave me back a piece of myself I thought I'd lost forever.

That's why I do this work now. Boudoir isn't just about lingerie or photographs. It's about rediscovering yourself — especially during life's big transitions. Whether you're rebuilding after heartbreak, celebrating a milestone, or simply ready to feel like you again, this is your chance to see your strength and beauty reflected back at you.

Everyone has a story. So what's yours?
