I am a mommy to our fur baby, Louis the French Bulldog, and I am the girlfriend to a very loving Leeroy(as I like to call him :p). We are both fitness fanatics, we actually met at the gym…no lie, and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. If I’m not sitting at my computer editing photos, taking photos, or building a new website you’ll probably find me at the gym. Fun fact, I’m freakishly strong. Ask me about me PR’s you probably won’t believe me! Haha, I had to start making videos to back up my stories. Besides working, and working out I live for a dance party in the kitchen. There’s nothing better than dancing ridiculously in your kitchen, am I right!? Well maybe there is; good wine, a charcuterie board, and a kitchen dance party.
I’d like to think I’m pretty simple and easy going but when I get an idea in my head I go full steam ahead. I can be fairly stubborn and telling me I can’t do something means I will find a way. Which is probably how I ended up self-employed by 21. Knock on wood, I’m still going strong in the wedding photography biz 5 years later.
First and foremost I am a wedding photographer but there’s something about boudoir photography that has a special place in my heart. Maybe it’s because this is the first time in 20 years I’ve felt comfortable in my own skin. Over the past few years I have been every size between a 6-16. I have stretch marks, I have scars, I have bruises, and I have muscle. I don’t know if feeling comfortable has to do with finally finding balance in life or just not giving a shit but my god it feels amazing and I’ll be damned if I don’t get in front of the camera now to document it. I know this feeling I feel exists in other women and I want them to have the exact same opportunity I have to get in front of the camera and document it.
My goal as a photographer is not to seduce men with these images. It’s to tell every single woman out there, who’s just like me…reading this in there Old Navy pyjamas and cozy ugly sweaters, that you can do this, you should do this, and you should message me now before you talk your crazy self out of something you are meant to do!
