Miss J: A Goddess in Motion—From Mastering Hair to Mastering Her Own Power
Some women step into the studio, and you can feel their presence the moment they arrive. Miss J was one of them.
She booked one of my last-minute openings, but from the way she moved, from the way she owned every second of her session, you’d think she had been planning this moment for years. Miss J is not just a boudoir client—she’s a force. A professional hairstylist who recently opened her own business right near my studio, she knows a thing or two about transformation. Whether it's crafting the perfect hair color or sculpting confidence with a fresh cut, she helps her clients step into the best versions of themselves. But on this day? It was her turn to be transformed.

Whether it's crafting the perfect hair color or sculpting confidence with a fresh cut, she helps her clients step into the best versions of themselves. But on this day? It was her turn to be transformed.
The Power of Showing Up—for Your Dreams and for Yourself
Opening a business is no small feat. It’s a leap of faith, a battle against self-doubt, and a relentless commitment to something greater than yourself. It’s early mornings, late nights, and a million “What ifs?” that you push past every single day.
Now, add to that a 200+ day streak of yoga.
That’s right—Miss J has shown up on her mat every single day for over 200 days. Rain or shine. Busy or exhausted. She made the choice, again and again, to prioritize her body, her mind, and her strength. And let’s be real—most of us struggle to keep up with a new habit for a few weeks, let alone months on end. But she did it. Because when Miss J commits to something, she sees it through.
Her discipline and dedication don’t just show up in her business or in her yoga practice. They showed up in her session, too.
A Goddess in Her Element
From the moment she stepped in front of the camera, she embodied pure goddess energy. Her outfits? Absolute power. A fusion of elegance, confidence, and a little touch of cosplay magic—because why not bring in what makes you feel the most you?
And when she flowed into a yoga pose mid-session? Chills. Watching her balance, poise, and control in that moment was watching years of dedication manifest in physical form. It was a reminder that strength isn’t just about what you can lift or how far you can bend—it’s about the unwavering choice to show up for yourself.
The Takeaway? You Are Worth the Commitment
Miss J’s session was more than just a celebration of her beauty—it was a tribute to her power. To the years she’s poured into her craft, the courage it took to step out on her own, and the unwavering dedication she has to herself.
And maybe her story is the nudge you need today.
Maybe it’s time to chase that business idea. To start that habit you’ve been putting off. To finally book the session you’ve been telling yourself you’ll do “someday.”
Because whether it’s in your career, your self-care, or your own self-love journey—you are worth showing up for.
Miss J did. And trust me, the results? Absolutely stunning.
Want to step into your own power like Miss J? Let’s create something unforgettable together. 💫

Miss D: The Ultimate Badass—Redefining Strength, Motherhood, and Beauty
Some women are forces of nature. They walk into a room and you feel their energy before they even say a word. Their presence commands respect, their resilience is unshakable, and their story is nothing short of legendary.
Miss D is one of those women.
Miss D: The Ultimate Badass—Redefining Strength, Motherhood, and Beauty
Some women are forces of nature. They walk into a room and you feel their energy before they even say a word. Their presence commands respect, their resilience is unshakable, and their story is nothing short of legendary.
Miss D is one of those women.
She is the definition of power. A single mother of two, juggling three jobs, and still managing to radiate warmth, humor, and effortless beauty. She is living proof that a woman does not need a man to be successful, secure, or an incredible mother. Society might try to sell us the idea that stability, strength, and success are tied to having a partner, but Miss D shatters that notion with every step she takes.
Motherhood… But Make It Superhuman
Raising two kids alone is no easy feat, but Miss D makes it look like an art form. She is the woman who wakes up before the sun rises, making sure her kids have everything they need before she even thinks about herself. She is the mom who shows up—always. Whether it’s late-night homework sessions, early-morning school drop-offs, or the little moments in between where her kids just need her, she’s there, showing up like the superhero she is.
And let’s be honest: single moms don’t get nearly enough credit. They aren’t just “doing their best”—they are doing the job of two people, often with half the resources and double the expectations. But Miss D doesn’t just do it—she thrives. She creates a home filled with love, strength, and the kind of unwavering support that will teach her kids what real dedication looks like.
Her children are growing up knowing exactly what it means to be resilient, self-sufficient, and fearless because they have her as their example.
Breaking the Mold One Boss Move at a Time
Three jobs. Three. And she still finds the time to be a present mother, an incredible friend, and a woman who owns her space in the world. How? Because Miss D doesn’t believe in limits.
While others might see obstacles, she sees opportunities. She isn’t waiting for someone to come along and make life easier—she’s out there making it happen for herself.
She is her own provider.
She is her own safety net.
She is her own damn hero.
And that? That’s the kind of woman the world needs more of.
Beauty That Runs Deeper Than Skin
Let’s not ignore the obvious—Miss D is stunning. Not just in the way she looks (which, let’s be real, she could stop traffic without even trying), but in the way she carries herself. Confidence, kindness, and a fire that never burns out—she doesn’t just walk through life, she owns every step.
Her beauty isn’t just in her smile or the way her eyes light up when she talks about her kids. It’s in her resilience, in the way she keeps going even when the world tells her she should slow down. It’s in the way she uplifts others, never letting her own struggles dim her ability to support those around her.
She is the kind of woman who turns pain into power.
The kind of woman who redefines success on her terms.
The kind of woman who makes you believe that anything is possible.
An Icon of Strength and Independence
Miss D isn’t just a woman. She’s a movement. She’s proof that no matter how hard life hits, you can hit back harder. She is the ultimate reminder that a woman’s worth is not tied to a relationship, a man, or the expectations of the world.
She is successful. She is strong. She is a phenomenal mother, a devoted hustler, and an absolute queen.
And if that isn’t something to celebrate, I don’t know what is.
Miss D, you are unstoppable. And the world is lucky to have you.

Boudoir At A CASTLE?! Say Less!
Some moments feel like they belong in a storybook, and this boudoir session was one of them. When the snow began to fall, I knew exactly who to call. This client had done a session with me before, and I already knew she embodied confidence, elegance, and the kind of adventurous spirit that would thrive in an otherworldly setting like Squires Castle.
Some moments feel like they belong in a storybook, and this boudoir session was one of them. When the snow began to fall, I knew exactly who to call. This client had done a session with me before, and I already knew she embodied confidence, elegance, and the kind of adventurous spirit that would thrive in an otherworldly setting like Squires Castle.
Squires Castle, nestled in the Cleveland Metroparks, has long been a place of mystery and beauty. Originally built in the late 1800s as part of a grand estate that never came to completion, its stone walls and gothic arches have become a striking piece of history. The castle’s haunting charm made it the perfect backdrop for a boudoir session unlike any other—one where modern femininity met timeless grandeur.
The crisp winter air and soft snowfall only added to the magic. My client arrived in a stunning three-piece black and gold lingerie set with both a fur coat and a long, beautiful trench coat, a look that exuded classic elegance with just the right amount of drama. Against the castle’s towering stone walls, she looked like something out of a Renaissance painting—bold, breathtaking, and completely in her element. The contrast of delicate lace against the rough stone, the way the snowflakes caught in her hair, the undeniable confidence she carried—it all came together to create a scene that felt both regal and rebellious.
There’s something about stepping outside the expected that makes boudoir sessions even more empowering. This wasn’t just about capturing beauty—it was about embracing the thrill of the moment, the chill of the air, the power of standing tall in a place with centuries of history behind it. And for my client, it was about celebrating herself in a way that felt bold, fearless, and uniquely her.
Looking back at the images, I’m reminded why I love what I do. Boudoir isn’t just about photos—it’s about creating an experience, a memory, a moment where a woman feels like the absolute main character of her own story. And this session? This was one for the books.

“I don’t know WHY I waited this long to do a shoot with her.” Miss T’s Testimonial About Her Boudoir Session
“I’ve been friends with Kristen for years & I don’t know why I waited so long to do this shoot with her. From start to finish, Kristen is a PROFESSIONAL. From the moment walking in she has made her studio feel like a home away from home for everybody! Not only is she talented in her photography skills, but also, hair, makeup, prop set up, & a wardrobe that is custom to EVERY SINGLE BODY TYPE. I’ve never been confident or comfortable with my body & Kristen made me cry with the reveal. We never see ourselves how other people can see us & it’s hard finding a photographer that their whole head & heart is in it for the right reasons. Kristen is all of that & more. Not only am I lucky to call her a friend, but the fire she pulled out of me while shooting was something I hadn’t seen in myself in a long time. Hands down worth every penny spent on her quality work that you receive. Proud of you Kristen & honored to be shot by you!”

Years ago, when I first met Tiffany, I was just a loud little weirdo 17 year old girl, insecure by every single definition of the word. I remember meeting her for the first time and thinking, “Wow. She’s so loud and weird and goofy and careless and people LOVE her for it. Maybe someday people will love me like that too.”
Over 10 years later and I cannot believe how much we’ve grown and changed. How much we’ve lost and gained of ourselves. People say that time is a thief, but I think time gives as much as it takes. Time has given us a chance to REALLY know each other and to become our best selves before we’re old and grey and forced to regret the moments we didn’t take.
It’s something else to be able to do what I do that seems so effortless and watch my clients gasp, laugh, cry, or just sit silently in awe of themselves. I cannot fathom a better career choice for me, where I can sit and listen to my clients talk about their lives for hours during hair and makeup, then their session, and see themselves in such an incredible way—the way everyone else does.
I’m so grateful to Tiffany and every single client who has ever chosen me (or will ever choose me) as their photographer. You make my life better for knowing all of you 🤍

A Boudoir Session That Pauses Life
There’s something magical about making art with someone who gets you. Not just as an artist but as a human navigating the beautiful, chaotic journey of motherhood, work-life balance, and everything in between. That’s exactly what happened when Miss R and I reconnected at my boudoir studio in Streetsboro—a space where we set aside the stress of life and created something truly special together.
There’s something magical about making art with someone who gets you. Not just as an artist but as a human navigating the beautiful, chaotic journey of motherhood, work-life balance, and everything in between. That’s exactly what happened when Miss R and I reconnected at my boudoir studio in Streetsboro—a space where we set aside the stress of life and created something truly special together.
Miss R and I have been friends for a few years now, both bonded by our love of photography and the parallel lives we lead. Our kids were born just months apart, so when we get together, there’s this unspoken understanding of the sleepless nights, the endless snack refills, and the way motherhood stretches you in the best—and hardest—ways possible.
But amidst the endless to-do lists and the constant pull between being present for our families and pursuing our art, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves. Postpartum, in particular, hits differently when you're trying to juggle it all. The love you have for your child is immense, but so is the weight of the new identity you're carving out as a mom, a creative, and a businesswoman.
When Miss R stepped into my studio, though, it wasn’t just about the photos. It was about taking a moment for herself—for both of us, really. We laughed, we shared our struggles, our stories about our little ones, and we reminded each other that it’s okay to let go of the mom guilt for a few hours and just be.
There’s something so empowering about boudoir—not just for my clients, but for me as a photographer, too. Capturing someone’s strength and beauty in such an authentic, vulnerable way feels like creating a piece of art. With Miss R, it was even more meaningful because she wasn’t just a client; she’s a fellow artist, a mom, and someone who understands the weight of everything I carry.
During client sessions, we find ourselves reclaiming a little piece of ourselves that often gets lost in the noise of daily life. For me, boudoir is so much more than taking photos—it’s a chance to remind women of their power, their beauty, and their worth, no matter where they are in life. And that reminder feels especially important when you’re in the thick of motherhood and trying to balance everything without losing yourself in the process.
I truly love creating a shared vision with other creatives, the way we bounce ideas off each other and see the world through a similar yet unique lens. Miss R and I didn’t just make art today—we created a moment of peace, connection, and joy. And that, to me, is just as valuable as the images we walked away with.
If you’re reading this as a fellow mom, a creative, or just someone who feels stretched thin, I want to encourage you to find those moments for yourself. Whether it’s stepping into a boudoir session, grabbing coffee with a good friend, or collaborating on a creative project, those small pauses can make all the difference.
Here’s to more moments of connection, creativity, and remembering that we’re not alone in this journey. Thank you, Miss R, for reminding me how beautiful it is to create art with someone who truly understands the ups and downs of this wild, wonderful life.

Boudoir Client Turned Bestie? YES PLEASE!
There’s something truly magical about the connections formed during a boudoir session. It’s a time when walls come down, authenticity shows, and a bond that starts as professional often becomes deeply personal. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing someone who has now become a great friend!

From the moment she stepped into my studio, I was LOVING her energy! She held a bouquet of lush red roses, their petals as vibrant and bold as the energy she exuded. She joked about how her boyfriend had bought them for the session and how she should start booking sessions more to get roses! Funnily enough, my husband loves getting flowers so it was a random, fun little bonding moment for us! Those roses weren’t just a stunning addition—they were a perfect reflection of her fiery spirit.
As we started chatting, all her initial hesitation melted away. It’s something I’ve heard from so many clients over the years: “I felt like I’d known you forever.” There’s no greater compliment than knowing I can create a space where women feel completely at ease, where laughter flows as freely as the creativity in the room. Before long, we were swapping stories and cracking jokes like old friends, and the nerves turned into pure excitement for what was to come.
Her outfit choice? Leopard print lingerie that was so unique compared to anything else I’ve photographed yet. Combined with the red roses, it was the epitome of vintage Valentine’s Day vibes—bold, classic, and undeniably romantic. As I adjusted the lighting and posed her against the moody-inspired backdrops of my studio, everything fell into place effortlessly. The deep reds of the roses and the striking pattern of her lingerie created a visual harmony that was both timeless and modern.
What stood out the most about that session wasn’t just the stunning photos we created, but the connection we built. As the shoot went on, we shared stories about life, challenges, and triumphs. We laughed, we reflected, and by the end of the session, it felt like we had shared something truly special—something far beyond photography.
Today, we’re not just photographer and client; we’re Facebook friends! Can you believe we’re already planning her next session after only two hours together?! It’s these connections that remind me why I do what I do. Boudoir isn’t just about creating beautiful images; it’s about celebrating the unique beauty, strength, and stories of every woman who steps into my studio.
Every time I look at the images from this session, I’m reminded of how powerful it is to create not only art but also relationships. To my new friend and muse—thank you for trusting me, for bringing those unforgettable roses, and for letting your confidence shine. Here’s to many more moments of laughter, creativity, and connection.

Postpartum Boudoir
Eleven months ago, I became a mother. My body underwent a transformation that was beyond anything I had ever experienced before. The changes were both beautiful and challenging, and while the joy of welcoming my first baby into the world was unparalleled, the journey of coming to terms with my postpartum body has been a slow and sometimes painful process.
Alright, I promised to share after 25 images so here we go! 11 months postpartum…
Eleven months ago, I became a mother. My body underwent a transformation that was beyond anything I had ever experienced before. The changes were both beautiful and challenging, and while the joy of welcoming my first baby into the world was unparalleled, the journey of coming to terms with my postpartum body has been a slow and sometimes painful process.
After giving birth, I found myself struggling with how I viewed my body. The stretch marks, the softness where there once was significantly less softness, the loose skin – all of it felt so different to me. I had heard so much about the “bounce back” culture, about how some women seem to immediately reclaim their pre-baby bodies. But deep down, I knew that I wasn’t just trying to bounce back—I was trying to find my new self.
This journey hasn’t been about erasing the changes that came with motherhood, but rather learning to love and appreciate the new version of me. To acknowledge that I am a mother, a warrior, and someone who deserves to feel confident and beautiful, no matter what my body looks like.
The experience was transformative.
One of the most impactful elements of the these selfies was the sheer black draping I chose to wear. It was delicate and beautiful, yet it gave me the comfort and confidence I needed. It allowed me to cover the parts of my body that I felt the most self-conscious about, like my tummy and breasts, but it also beautifully highlighted the parts of me that I still felt proud of—the curve of my back, the softness of my shoulders, the strength in my legs.
The draping was an intentional choice to express the journey I’m on—not one of hiding, but of gently revealing. I was learning how to show up for myself, not by covering up every part of me, but by allowing space for both the vulnerability and the beauty that coexist in my postpartum body.
Through this shoot, I wasn’t trying to conform to any standard of beauty; I was embracing my own. For the first time in a long time, I saw myself as beautiful, not despite my postpartum body, but because of it. Every mark, every curve, every change was a testament to the life I brought into this world. The softness, the strength, and the power I felt in that moment were all part of the woman I am now becoming.
Learning to love my postpartum body has been a journey—one filled with ups and downs, moments of doubt, and moments of profound self-acceptance. This boudoir session didn’t magically fix everything, but it reminded me of how far I’ve come. It helped me realize that I don’t need to change to fit into someone else’s idea of beauty. I’m learning to love myself exactly as I am, with all of my imperfections, strength, and resilience.
To any mother out there struggling to accept the changes to your body, know this: You are not alone. The journey is hard, but it’s also one of the most empowering things you can do. I’m here to tell you that you are worthy of feeling beautiful, powerful, and confident, just as you are. Your body is a reflection of everything you’ve been through, and that’s something to celebrate, not hide.
If you’re feeling ready to step into your own power and learn to embrace your postpartum body, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make art, not out of who we used to be, but who we’ve become.

Miss J - 53 and FREAKING FABULOUS!
At 53 years old, she’s living her best life—and honestly, she deserves every second of it. She’s got that glow that only comes from surviving the hard stuff, finding the love of your life, and finally realizing you’re the queen you’ve always been. When she reached out to book her session, I could already tell she was my kind of woman. But when she showed up, drove 2.5 hours to get to my studio, and brought the kind of energy that could light up a room, I knew this was going to be a session I’d never forget.
Let me tell you about Miss J. At 53 years old, she’s living her best life—and honestly, she deserves every second of it. She’s got that glow that only comes from surviving the hard stuff, finding the love of your life, and finally realizing you’re the queen you’ve always been. When she reached out to book her session, I could already tell she was my kind of woman. But when she showed up, drove 2.5 hours to get to my studio, and brought the kind of energy that could light up a room, I knew this was going to be a session I’d never forget.
Her Story: The Queen’s Rise to the Throne
Miss J has a story like many of us do. She spent years hustling, honing new skills and talents in her career field, raising three incredible kids while juggling the challenges of life. And now at 53 gorgeous years young, she’s been shaped into the resilient, self-assured, powerful woman she is today.
Fast forward to now, and Miss J is spending these years with the man of her dreams. She described him with the kind of love that makes you believe in romance all over again—steady, kind, and head-over-heels for her in every way. She’s finally being treated the way she should’ve been all along, and she’s soaking in every bit of that love.
For his birthday, she wanted to give him a gift that would blow him away. And what better gift than a stunning, sensual album that captures every ounce of the incredible woman she is?
The 2.5 Hour Drive
Let’s pause for a moment and appreciate this: Miss J drove 2.5 hours to get to my studio. If that doesn’t tell you how much thought and care she put into this experience, I don’t know what will. She told me she’d searched for the right photographer for weeks, and when she found me, she just knew. That kind of trust? I don’t take it lightly.
She walked in with this air of confidence and as soon as we started chatting, it was like we’d known each other forever. We clicked immediately, bonding over motherhood, life’s curveballs, unexpected career paths that turn into incredible success—all cumulating into the best versions of ourselves that we are today.
Magic in the Studio
Miss J brought some absolutely stunning pieces for her session—elegant, bold, and completely her. And let me tell you, this woman knows how to bring it. She may have been a little nervous at first, but within minutes, she was owning it—hair flips, confident smiles, and the kind of energy that makes you stop and say, “Damn.”
We laughed, we got real, and we celebrated everything that makes her the powerhouse she is today. She moved through the session like she was born for it, and honestly? She was.
The Big Decision
When it came time to pick her images, Miss J chose a breathtaking 25-image album for her boyfriend. Every page told a piece of her story—strength, beauty, resilience, and the radiant love she’s found in this chapter of her life.
But here’s the thing: while this album was technically for him, it was just as much for her. The way she lit up as she looked through her photos? That wasn’t just pride. That was recognition. She was seeing herself the way the rest of us see her: stunning, powerful, and completely unforgettable. I mean, this woman literally gasped when she saw her first image (and that’s my FAVORITE reaction!)
A Lesson in Resilience
Miss J’s story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a reminder. Life will surprise us in good ways and difficult ways; sometimes, it’s just beginning of something amazing. You can survive the hardest chapters, come out stronger, and find the love, joy, and confidence you’ve always deserved.
To Miss J: Thank you for trusting me with this moment, for sharing your story, and for reminding me why I love what I do. You are pure magic, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of your journey.
To every woman out there: Whether you’re rebuilding, thriving, or just starting to find your footing, you deserve to celebrate the incredible person you are. Let’s create something beautiful, together.

How Shana Learned She’s Been ✨THAT✨ Girl All Along
When she walked into the studio, she had that "I’m-excited-but-maybe-I’ll-barf" energy we’ve all felt before doing something completely out of our comfort zone. When she told me she hadn’t felt the same since she had both of her baby girls, I think my jaw hit the floor. Here was this stunning, radiant woman standing in front of me, not realizing she was the dictionary definition of a showstopper. Spoiler: she was about to see it.
Let me tell you about Shana. When she walked into the studio, she had that "I’m-excited-but-maybe-I’ll-barf" energy we’ve all felt before doing something completely out of our comfort zone. When she told me she hadn’t felt the same since she had both of her baby girls, I think my jaw hit the floor. Here was this stunning, radiant woman standing in front of me, not realizing she was the dictionary definition of a showstopper. Spoiler: she was about to see it.
The first 10 minutes of any session are always a little wobbly. You’re standing there in your carefully chosen lingerie thinking, “What do I do with my hands? Am I smizing? What even IS smizing?” It’s normal. But the second Shana settled in, something clicked.
We cranked up the studio playlist—Taylor, because obviously—and started slow. A few jokes, a lot of laughs, and suddenly she was feeling herself in every sense of the phrase. Watching her step into her confidence was like seeing someone finally realize they’ve had superpowers all along.
Shana picked some incredible pieces for her session—a lacy little number that screamed “I am femme fatale, hear me roar,” and a silk robe so decadent it probably had its own passport. But what made her photos magic wasn’t the wardrobe. It was her.
We used soft, moody lighting to highlight every stunning curve, every perfect little detail that she probably never even noticed about herself. Those moments when she tossed her hair back with a laugh or caught herself in the mirror and actually smiled? Yeah, that’s where the real magic lives.
When I showed Shana her gallery, she sat there with her jaw on the floor, staring at herself like she was looking at a whole new person. And here’s the kicker—she wasn’t new. She was the same incredible mom boss she’d been all along. She just finally got to see her the way the rest of the world does.
There were happy giggles, “oh my godddd”, a lot of “Is that really ME?!” moments, and one very enthusiastic, “I don’t think I can wait until Christmas to give these to my husband!”
Boudoir is about seeing yourself clearly, maybe for the first time in years—or ever. It’s about taking up space, owning your beauty, and letting yourself feel like the reborn goddess you are.
Shana walked into the studio with nerves and walked out with receipts. She wasn’t just that girl. She was the girl. And now she knows it.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to remind you how stunning you are, this is it. Let’s make some magic. Let’s show you the muse you’ve always been. And let’s laugh a lot while we’re at it, because life’s too short not to.

Jess – The Quiet Muse Who Became a Lifelong Friend
The first time Jess walked into my studio back in 2022, she was so quiet I almost thought I scared her off. If you know me, you know I have a big personality—loud, animated, and probably too much caffeine coursing through my veins at any given moment. Jess, on the other hand, was soft-spoken, reserved, and carried herself with a quiet grace. But sometimes, it’s the ones who say the least who leave the biggest mark on you.

Jess, on the other hand, was soft-spoken, reserved, and carried herself with a quiet grace. But sometimes, it’s the ones who say the least who leave the biggest mark on you.
I’ll never forget the way Jess studied the space when she walked into my studio for the first time. Her movements were deliberate, her words measured, like she was trying to take everything in while staying under the radar. And me? I was over here waving my hands around, cracking jokes, and probably scaring her half to death. I even remember thinking, “Oh no, I’ve already blown it.”
But then something magical happened. She noticed my Harry Potter tattoo, and her whole face lit up. She didn’t say much, just smiled and asked, “Can I take a picture of it for my husband? He’s going to love this.” In that tiny moment, the wall came down just a little, and I knew there was so much more to Jess than her quiet exterior let on.
A couple of weeks later, fate—or maybe just really good timing—brought us together again at the zoo. You know how you always think someone’s saying your name in public, but they never are? I thought the same thing until I turned around and saw her standing there! It helped that I was wearing one of my business t-shirts, but this was literally a part of the zoo my husband and I NEVER made it to because it was the farthest away from the entrance (my husband is a disabled veteran so long walks are tough on him.)
We spent the day chatting about life, future kids, and all the little things that make the world go round. By the time we said goodbye, I realized she wasn’t just a client anymore—she was someone I genuinely liked, someone I wanted to know better.
Jess has been with me through every stage of my business. She’s had a session in every studio I’ve ever owned—each one representing a different chapter in my journey. And every single time, she’s walked in and owned it.
Jess is the kind of woman who doesn’t just show up—she shows out. Whether it’s in a soft, delicate lace piece or something bold and daring, she always brings an energy that’s quietly powerful. She doesn’t need to shout to be heard; her presence speaks volumes.
What makes Jess so special isn’t just how stunning she looks in front of the camera (though, let’s be real, she’s absolutely breathtaking). It’s the way she carries herself—with humility, kindness, and a heart so big it leaves a lasting impression on everyone who meets her.
She’s seen me through my highs and lows, through studio moves and personal milestones. She’s cheered me on, trusted me with her story, and reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place.
I’ve watched her grow, too—not just in front of the camera, but in life. She’s the kind of woman who inspires you to be better simply by being herself.
Jess, if you’re reading this, thank you. Thank you for trusting me back in 2022 when you probably thought, “Who is this loud, tattooed woman, and why does she talk so much?” Thank you for coming back—again and again—and letting me be part of your story. Thank you for the laughs, the conversations, the friendship that’s become one of the most unexpected joys of my life.
You’re more than a muse. You’re a reminder that beauty isn’t just what we capture in photos—it’s what we build in the quiet moments between.
Here’s to the sessions we’ve shared, the memories we’ve made, and all the magic still to come. I am so grateful for you.
Boudoir is so much more than photos—it’s connection, courage, and a celebration of everything that makes you, you. If you’re looking for a photographer who will literally be your bestie until the end of time, it’s me. I’ll love you forever you adorable little cutie pie.
