Boudoir is for the insecure. It helped me see that I have value. I am worthy of love, I am worthy of being celebrated. I am worthy of eating the food that makes me happy. Even if that means it’s not the “best” food for me. When looking through my photos I don’t feel like I’m viewing myself. I feel like I’m viewing a princess worthy of everything good in this life.

Through 2020 and 2021 I had some not great medical things happen, and some scary as hell “maybes” one of which was that heart crushing “C word”. Even with that being ruled out my body and mind were going through so much back-to-back trauma my brain could not compute that I was going to be ok!

Then, I lost what I felt was ALL of my femininity and had a hysterectomy in 2021, my body was failing me, and my mental health was following right behind it.

I knew I needed to process this all in a new way. So I dug deep, and for me that means secluding myself and writing it all out, burning or shredding the things that do not fit or are doing me an injustice. It is hard work, draining work, but it was work I needed to save my life.

Boudoir sessions are becoming more and more popular among the mainstream these days but are boudoir photos worth it? Just 10 short years ago the words “Boudoir Photography” or “Boudoir Photos” were most likely met with a confused face and a head tilt. But chances are in 2022 you know someone who did a boudoir shoot for a wedding gift or, celebrated a divorce with one ;)

Boudoir is everything the Divine Feminine Energy is and everything the Sacral needs to feel balanced. (No, it’s not going to magically cure you) BUT, somatic experiencing is a therapeutic haven for physical and mental/emotional change.
