When I say posing and lighting matter this is what I mean!

This is me.... this is my body, unedited and imperfect. I am just like the rest of you out there. I have a laundry list of things I could change, but I have chosen to love me and my body as it is... is it easy every day, no, but itis possible. I have decided I am beautiful with flaws. I have utilized my skills to benefit my mind to see the beauty in me and my body. With proper posing and lighting I focus on what we love so we see what you don't like less. This works with our lives, our mindset and how we see our body. When I tell you posing, and lighting make so much of a difference I want to you to see exactly what I mean! It does take a lot to be vulnerable with you guys and show my flaws, but I NEED you to know I am just like you perfectly imperfect. If you have ever considered a boudoir shoot but were uncomfortable with certain areas of your body rest assure, I have the training and experience to guarantee you have a successful boudoir experience

The long-term reward of feeling good about our self will not only benefit your self but your family will feel your joy. When we feel good about our self, it is infectious we spread our joy to our family and those around us. Invest in you! One mom who recently got her photos taken shared the photos with her family and her son said "Wow, my mom is pre

Why get a good night sleep before your shoot!!!!

It might sound like a myth that's being peddled on a late-night infomercial, but eight hours of sleep really can help you look and feel your best. Why? It comes down to what happens in your body when you drift off. Your Body Pumps Out Healing Hormones. You Wake Up Less Puffy You’ll Smile More. While you’re sleeping, your body—and your skin—are hard at work healing themselves. During the deeper phases of sleep, your body produces growth hormone, which repairs daily damage from things like sun exposure and pollution and creates new cells so you wake up looking brighter, fresher, and more vibrant. That’s why bedtime can be a great time to apply a hardworking night cream to accelerate the restorative process. Your body also dispatches its water deliverymen as you snooze, sending moisture where it’s needed and getting rid of the excess. Cut this process short, and you’re more likely to end up with bags and obvious wrinkles . Skimping on rest also increases your levels of inflamm
