When I told a pal I was doing a private mentoring session for a photographer she said “isn’t that giving up your secret sauce?” I couldn’t help but laugh. My goal is to always raise other photographers up & build more self sustaining businesses (particularly those run by women)! I photographed Jenna, who owns her […]

Carson drove all the way from Midlothian VA in the snow for this bridal session! Now that’s commitment! She absolutely killed her session. Since she was a tad nervous, she brought some friends to hang out, drink wine and be emotional cheerleaders. It made the session super laid back and uber fun. BEYOND thrilled that […]

When Caitie asked me to document her first pregnancy, I was OVER THE MOON. As a wedding planner, she knows so many photographers that are super talented so the fact that she chose me means the WORLD. Caitie actually told me about her baby boy during a wedding. The client said “there’s actually 3 people […]

Have you ever seen a more beautiful mama?! Jennie as 2 toddlers running around at home and I swear she looks like a Dallas Cheerleader! I rarely know what my boudoir clients look like before they show up in studio and my jaw DROPPED when I met J. She is a dead ringer for Alessandra […]

Jen is a complete smokeshow. This blonde bombshell is getting married next month so she wanted to create a keepsake for her fiance as a wedding gift. What a perfect present! My best tip for gifting a boudoir book to your loved one is to make sure they open it in private. If it’s a […]

I am absolutely obsessed with this session. From K’s lingerie choice to her amazing body art, she was a treat to photograph. Kirsten found me through one of her gal pals who also did a bridal boudoir session and I am just in love with this little friend group! Such amazing clients who value photography […]

Instead of captioning this myself, I thought it was more important to let Amanda & Lauren tell their story. Hopefully their IVF journey and public celebration of love will encourage and inspire others! “We decided to do reciprocal IVF even before we knew the procedure had a name! The decision was organic. I (Lauren) always […]

Amanda and Lauren were the first couple I photographed in my new studio space and I am crazy about these images!! They wanted an intimate maternity session and since this summer has been unseasonably hot, there is no better place to take maternity photos than in studio! Lauren is carrying their future son after the […]

Karen is the ultimate boudoir client. She was confident, brought amazing ensembles and had FUN. She really slayed in both outfits but the bridal number will really WOW in the boudoir book she is gifting her future husband. We chatted all about her wedding day and pumped some fabulous French inspired music. I hope this […]
