I thought I'd be freaking out, and I just remember thinking to myself that I felt safe, I was having fun, and I felt calm.

I was going through some shit. I had been trying to find my way in the world. Trying to love myself. Being a mom means I'm giving myself to everyone & everything. It was so nice to do something for ME. To do something that helps ME. To do something that made ME feel sexy. To make ME feel like ME again.

I’m loud, mouthy, sassy, and strong-headed, but I’m also very passionate, loving, and caring. I’m more of someone’s shot of whiskey than a cup of tea, so I’m used to not being someone everyone knows how to get along with. I work my ass off on the night shift and the end goal is to become a flight nurse. No kids, no husband, no boyfriend even. It’s just my doggo and I, and that’s working okay for me so far.

I’m a music-loving, 90’s anything obsessed, 29-year-old small business owner. I have 3 adorable dogs and a hunk of a husband. I’m so happy I’m finally able to be unapologetically myself after so many years of caring SO MUCH what I should do, wear, look like, act like, and all the other bullshit we convince ourselves matters.

I almost canceled everything I was going to do for myself. I fell into a deep depression in 2018. I was going through a lot medically, that I had just given up on the most important thing in life, ME.

I felt inspired to tell others to do this, it made me feel so good about myself.

I know it sounds cliche, but to become proud of your body through the art she provides is something I would never have thought possible.

I felt so happy afterwards! I felt like calling every one of my girlfriends on my drive home and telling them how much fun it was. My session put me in such a good mindset even days after! I think it has definitely given me more confidence and helped me see myself as sexy.

There were many reasons I decided on a boudoir session, the main one was to find ME again. To know that no matter what size I've become I'm still beautiful. I've been through A LOT of crap in my life and I've pulled myself up out of all of it.
