Breakers Palm Beach Family Photographer

When mom texted me out of the blue, "I have been so excited to text you!! I wanted to see what your schedule was like come June. I want to schedule some pictures with you and my family once the baby is about 1. I’m hoping to recreate a montage on our wall like you did, which is still the best investment we have ever made." I was beaming. 

We've shared texts of inspiration and I've started pulling wardrobe ideas. 

We will be doing most of our planning S L O W L Y while she is with her family on their yearly trip to Europe. 

This is why I will never be a volume based photographer. 

Families invest not only in me but also in their family memories.

I will never take that for granted.

I Long For the Real | Boca Raton Boudoir Photographer

I Long For the Real | Boca Raton Boudoir Photographer

When did real life become undesirable?

When did imperfections become "fixable"?

I LONG for real. I LONG for raw.

This was a mom who took some space to explore herself.

After I left she probably made dinner for her two children in that kitchen and then washed the dishes with those very tools.

For a second, she got to mix her two worlds.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That is art.

Boudoir is about grieving who you once were, while saying hello to who you are | Boca Raton Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir is about grieving who you once were, while saying hello to who you are | Boca Raton Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir is about stripping down to bare bones.

But, not in the way one might think.

It’s the permission to let someone else see you in the most vulnerable and raw light.

It’s cracking wide open and letting the hard seep in so that the you can discover and fill in the holes.

Boudoir is pushing away the “one day’s” and “what-if’s” and embracing the right now.

It’s letting the skin that holds you fall apart.

It’s grieving who you once were, while saying hello to who you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is...you are...encompassing.

Live in Uncomfortable Vulnerability | West Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer

Live in Uncomfortable Vulnerability | West Palm Beach Boudoir Photographer

As women we have so few safe spaces. We have few moments where we can tell our truths and no one will judge us. Few experiences that are about us and our pain and triumphs.

Every session I end up getting at least one photograph of them looking directly at me.

Often times it becomes their favorite.

YOU Are The Holiday Magic | Boca Raton Family Photographer

YOU Are The Holiday Magic | Boca Raton Family Photographer

I’ve been seeing a lot of videos that show Christmas in the 90s.

They suck you in with the nostalgia of it all. Bing Crosby in the background, while showing incandescent lights that are impossible to find these days.

You can almost smell the cookies baking in the oven, while mom is watching TV in the kitchen.

You feel a pit in your stomach.

Why is that feeling gone? Where did it go?

You hear other adults talk about getting back to that feeling; searching for something that no longer exists.

How does a feeling just disappear?

I’ve been longing for that feeling for over half my life. It’s been decades since I experienced that magic.

Then, I became a mom.

I dreamed of giving my daughter the Christmas’s that I grew up with. I envisioned how I could give her the same whimsy.

It hit me.

My mom was the magic.
