west palm beach boudoir
I will guide you through the entire process and will anticipate your needs before you might even realize them. It’s my pleasure to create custom art for my clients, based on their individuality.
What I love most about these sessions is the experience. We will create gorgeous photographs and you will have one of the most enjoyable experiences of your life.
Read MoreIn a world where people just want the smallest, simplest piece of you, how do you show them that you need each other?
So much of owning a small business is meeting the people who will “get” what you do and want to be a part of it. If you’re doing it right, it’s not even a huge number of people, just enough that trust your vision and want it for themselves. But, when you have one minute to listen to their story and one minute to tell yours, how do you connect?
I’m so tired of the small talk, “I’m a life coach, oh, you’re a photographer? I need some new headshots.”
We know you do so much more than just coach people. Do you know that I do so much more than take a few photos of people?
How do we get there? How do we find meaning in these short conversations?
Read MoreI’ve been putting together a vision board for when I’m able to do another creative, personal expression through my art.
While my heart is photographing women and telling their stories, sometimes my soul needs to stretch and play so that I can reset and renew. This makes me better for the clients that I photograph.
Many creatives have gone into depression during this time because we haven’t been able to create like we usually do.
It’s our release. It’s our way out of darkness. It’s a way of telling other’s stories while telling our own.
Being a photographer is engrained in my being. To be able to document someone’s story that then becomes art in their home, it’s at times indescribable.
Read MoreI still get people who don’t understand boudoir. They think it’s purely sexual, vain, or pointless. I can keep putting up blog posts that explain why they are so much more than that. I can try to explain it in my own words (which I’ve done several times). But, what I think speaks the loudest are words from other women who have been photographed by me.
This one hits way too close to home for me. M (we’ll call her) isn’t sharing the photographs with the public because of her job. I reached out to her and asked if she would be willing to share her story, though. I told her that her words might really need to be read by someone who is in the depths of hell. I wish that more women had talked about their struggles when I was in my marriage. There were so many times I felt shameful and alone. E is allowing me to share one photo and her words.
I want to point out that not every woman that I photograph is “broken” or going through hard times. I photograph women who are engaged, married, divorced, have kids, can’t have kids, don’t want kids, have done boudoir sessions before, have never done boudoir sessions before, and so on. But, this is E’s story and it’s a pretty damn powerful one.
Read MoreHow long have you been saying, “I really need to print these photographs and put them up”?
Be honest. You know it’s been a while, probably entirely too long.
Do you know why you haven’t done it yet? It’s too overwhelming. Let’s look at some possible reasons as to why you haven’t done it:
You don’t have the time.
You don’t know which photos will look good next to each other.
You don’t know where to have your photographs printed.
You don’t know where to purchase museum quality frames.
You don’t know where the digital files are.
You don’t know how to put a gallery wall together.
You don’t know how to get custom sized prints and frames for your unique space.
You don’t know where to start.
That's where a professional comes in. When I first started photography I just wanted to photograph the session, hand over the digital files, and be done with it. I started to notice that a lot of my couples, families, and boudoir clients had no clue what to do with these files. I would talk to them a year later and the files would still be sitting on their computer. This broke my heart and it was my job to come up with a solution. It's not fair to call myself a professional photographer if I'm not putting in the work.
