Boudoir Photography Designed for Real Women
Helping women across Virginia & Washington D.C. feel confident, beautiful, and completely themselves.
And I’m passionate about helping women embrace and own their stories, because I know how easy it is to feel like your past defines you.
As someone who has experienced both an abusive childhood and a relationship, I understand firsthand how important it is to reclaim your narrative and not let those experiences dictate your future.
In 2012, I was faced with the painful reality that my first marriage wasn’t my forever. At the same time, I was navigating life as a newly single mother while grieving a miscarriage I had hoped would somehow heal what was already broken. Everything hit at once, and I found myself searching for direction, healing, and a way forward.
Boudoir photography started as a small, unexpected step toward reclaiming myself. But when I saw my images…something shifted. For the first time, I saw myself differently. I felt Worthy. Strong. Confident. And in that moment, I knew this was where my heart belonged.
“IT TOOK ME QUITE A LONG TIME TO DEVELOP A VOICE, AND NOW THAT I HAVE IT, I’M NOT GOING TO BE SILENT.”

I wanted to create that same experience for other women.
Women who might be in the middle of a hard season. Women who don’t feel confident.
Women who have forgotten what it feels like to truly see themselves. Because you don’t need to change anything about yourself to be worthy of that feeling. You deserve to feel beautiful exactly as you are, right now.
When I decided to focus exclusively on boudoir photography, I knew it could be impactful. What I didn’t expect…was how deeply it would affect me.
Watching women walk into my studio nervous and leave with a level of confidence they didn’t have before is something words can hardly capture. It never gets old.
Let’s be honest, most “About” pages are polished, perfect, and a little unrealistic. This isn’t one of those.
Most days, I’m not dressed up. I’m usually choosing comfort over style, trying to get a little extra sleep, and rushing to get my three kids where they need to be. I don’t wear makeup often, not because I can’t, but because it’s just not a daily priority for me.
And honestly? That’s real life.
When you meet me, I want you to feel comfortable, not intimidated. I’m a mom juggling life and business just like so many of my clients. Sometimes my kids are running around in the background.
Sometimes I talk too much when I’m nervous. Sometimes I don’t say much at all. And when I’m deep in my creative zone? I might even be a little clumsy. But everything I do is focused on one thing...Making sure you feel confident, supported, and cared for.
I’m real. I speak my mind. I care deeply about the people around me. I can be a people pleaser—but I also know how to stand my ground.
I might be a little awkward sometimes… but honestly, that tends to help my clients feel less awkward too.
So it works out.
The Truth is...
I’m a shot of whiskey.
I’m not for everyone, and I’m okay with that.
Because the women who do connect with me?
They feel it. And they trust me.
And that’s what matters most.
If you’re feeling nervous… unsure… or like this might not be for you, you’re exactly who this experience is for. You don’t need to be confident to start.
You just need to show up.
