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.
Read MoreBoudoir 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.
Healthy love has allowed me to create my most meaningful art. It’s allowed a safe space so that I can let all parts of me leave and then come back anew.
My home life is pretty ordinary and safe. The idea of that used to bore and scare me. It’s most likely because I was so used to the explosions and everyday turbulence of love before.

It was simple.

I’m noticing colors in the sky that I hadn’t cared to look for since childhood.
I’m hearing birds sing to each other on our morning walks I didn’t used to take.
You point out the moon in the morning sky and it’s as if I had forgotten to look up.
Yes, life was beautiful and simple before you, but now it’s vast and spectacular.

Read MoreGaby and Ryan are avid surfers and travel the world to do so. They are currently living in North Florida, but were home visiting family in Boca Raton and knew they wanted to involve the ocean in their session.
Your photographs should encompass your environment; the very place that brings you inspiration and feeds your soul. For these two, that involves water and movement.
We met at sunrise and the rest is history.
