“Knowing I did this makes me feel like I can do things I thought would be impossible for me to overcome and do.” Sometimes, the thing we want most is also the thing we nearly talk ourselves out of. That is how this client’s boudoir anniversary gift in Iowa began. When she first filled out […]

“I really want to do this—but I need to lose weight before a photoshoot.” Behind this hesitation is a quiet doubt so many of us hold onto: the fear of not being “perfect” enough right now. I hear some version of this honest confession all the time. And honestly? I understand where it comes from. […]

If you have ever considered doing a portrait session but stopped yourself because you didn’t know what to expect, you are absolutely not alone. It is incredibly common to feel nervous about the unknown. We talk ourselves out of doing things purely for our own joy because we worry about how the process will actually […]

I am officially on a mission, and I am looking for 40 incredible women to join me for an exclusive over 40 photoshoot to help bring it to life. For the Unapologetically Over 40: The Masterpiece Project, I am setting out to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond this year. Ultimately, […]

You are the CEO of your life. You have a genius-level command of your schedule, your family, and your career. But if you want to truly embrace sexy at any age, you have to relinquish all of that control and hand the reins over to someone else. The idea of stepping in front of a […]

When was the last time you did something truly, completely, and unapologetically just for yourself? If you had to pause and think hard about the answer to that question, you are absolutely not alone.

“I was stressed at first from spending the money but when I got to see what I paid for it was so worth it!!” There’s a unique kind of heartache that comes with having to cancel plans because you don’t like how you look in an outfit. We’ve all been there—putting on an amazing look […]

“I wanted to do something special for me.” You’ve got a genius-level command of your business and your schedule, but what happens when you turn all that control over to someone else? The idea of a photoshoot can feel like a break from your routine, but the thought of being vulnerable can bring up a […]

“After letting go of myself with a busy work and mom life, I realized I needed to find that self-love again…” That feeling of being pulled in a dozen different directions is something so many of us know all too well. It’s a sign you’re doing so much for everyone else, but it can also […]

Why I Became a Self-Care Advocate If you know me, you know how much I advocate for self-care. But for years, I was the queen of sacrificing my time and energy, and it left me feeling completely exhausted. I’m neurodivergent—diagnosed in adulthood, by the way—and I finally gave myself permission to take a deep, outside-in […]

“Well worth the price and a life long friendship you gain just in one day!” Our bodies tell an incredible story of strength and sacrifice, especially after bringing life into the world. It’s an act of profound love to give so much of ourselves to our families, but it can also be tough to feel at […]
