Erotica Vs. Boudoir

  For me,  erotica  is about the beauty of fantasy and engaging in people’s sexual fantasies for their own personal pleasure. My desire has been to create and produce elegant, tasteful and arousing images together with  erotic  stories, and an elegant  erotic  photography gallery that women and couples would find acceptable and pleasurable. Boudoir:  a woman's bedroom or private room. Erotica :   literature or art intended to arouse sexual desire. As you can see just from the definition of boudoir, it leaves so much to the imagination! As each one of us are different so will your boudoir experience! I decided to write this a while ago and just needed to define, for me, and this studio how we will separate boudoir from our erotica. As many of you know I am down for a fun shoot, but I want to always have clear upfront communications with my clients to ensure the best experience for you!  During a shoot I will pose you and or instruct you t...

Women should stop BECOMING empowered!

Right now, today!!!  This for years has been a pet peeve of mine... people tell me all the time "I" empower women... sorry but that  is sickening to me.  I do NOT empower any one.  that is not my focus or my point.   This is my mission I want to offer a safe place for women to give THEMSELVES permission...….  permission to accept themselves, to love themselves, to explore a part of their mind and embrace their beauty! It is a safe place for women to be.....  Machines are powered....  we can place a battery in it and give it power, take the batteries out and you remove the power. Plug in your coffee pot... power, unplug no power.  I DO NOT give anyone power or my power and that is why I say women should not be empowered.  Here is what I say instead...  RETAIN your power, do not replace your judgment for some one else!  Implying we can be empower implies that someone else has our power and can giv...

Self care is self love

I posed a question earlier in the week.... "What do you do for self care?" an alarming number of women do NOTHING for themselves! We work, take care of our families, our clients (trying to write this blog I have already stopped 3 times for something the kiddos need)  Why do we feel guilty, taking time for ourselves? Why do we feel guilty for doing things for ourselves?! We do NOT HAVE TO BE A MARTAR!!!! We do NOT have to sacrifice until it hurts... us!  Taking the time to do things for ourselves does not hurt our family!  If we do take time to do things for ourselves... we can not properly take care of others!  We buy a coffee and a "treat"... (5 mins of enjoyment)             at $5 a few times a week that adds up to $260 a year Or we go a few times a year to get our hair done.... ( a few weeks and it fades)           That could run you $900 a year Maybe you get your...

Capturing Love

Capturing Love  Today like many days I am unpacking my shipment of client products. I open  up everything and make sure it is correct and there are no mistakes and everything is accounted for. Today for some reason, maybe it is the coming back after a long break, I opened up a box, opened up a book and the first image, took my breath ... the image I had taken, the image I had edited and have seen many times . It took my breath , it hit me right in the chest, and I messaged my friends and I told them I wish I could tell everyone how this makes me feel. How I FEEL when I opened up a book and saw the love she had for her husband, I saw the 25 years of marriage being celebrated. It hit me, I felt it, being able to capture the intimate love we have for our partner, the love we should have for ourselves is really what I am striving for with boudoir.  I need for the viewer to feel something when they look at her images. When you give a gift of boudoir images you are givin...
