There will never be a "perfect" time to document your body | Boca Raton Boudoir Photographer

What if I told you that the body you view as "not good enough" right now will be the body you wish you had in 20 years?

What if you realized that the fact that your body is strong enough to dance with your children is more important than the fact that your stomach isn't "flat". 

What if you gave society, and what they've told you to value about yourself, the middle finger?

There will never be a "perfect" time to document your body. 

But, this version of you IS perfect and she's right where she's supposed to be. 

View her.

Accept her.

Love her.

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.

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

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.

I was asked to present, as well as lead a styled shoot, at a workshop recently. I knew that I didn’t want a “model” who just showed up at the time of the session and that for this to be meaningful I needed to take the attendees through my process. That meant that I was going to take the woman I would be photographing through my entire process.
