A little reminder that I *do* in fact still take portraits, too!

"The expert in anything was once a beginner."

Being labeled and referred to as an expert in my field makes me feel a certain way.
Imposter syndrome used to stop me from accepting these sorts of high praise, but I've realized, you can be an expert in a field and not be *the best*.
There is ALWAYS room to get better!!

And, photographers, I want to help YOU, get better and more confident in your posing, with my Connected Posing Class.

Just $97 through January 31st, you'll get my favorite poses, tips for connecting the pose to the setting, and all the little details that bring your images home!!

Limited availability for this one-on-one time, so don't wait!!

Email [email protected] & let's get you connected!

"But why is it so expensive?!"
Look, I know some of you might not love my price, but I hope you can understand why it's set the way it is.

I'm running a business, not a hobby.
A business I started from the ground up 15 years ago, and have poured my time and energy (and frustrations and tears) into making it what it is today.

After overhead and expenses, I still need to make enough to feed my family and pay our bills, too, just like everyone else.

I've come to terms with realizing that not every potential client is the right fit for my work, and thatโ€™s totally okay.

(I have long since learned that if someone doesn't value photography the same way they value other luxuries, it's not worth my time to try to force it on them.)

But if you do value my work, and the cost is a concern, I do offer flexible payment plans to make things a bit easier!

Together we will find a way for you to have your dream session with me, if you truly want it!

FAQ: How many outfits do I get?
It depends on your package babe! The Pontiac studio is set up into a variety of staged rooms. You can choose from 1, 2, 3 or full access. The more rooms you choose, the more looks and variety you'll end up with!
The most popular choice is the 3 room bundle that includes the Diva Room, Bed Set and After Dark Room! (And the Wet T/Faux shower is a close next!).
Whatever rooms you choose, I have a variety of lingerie and accessories to match the energy and feel of that space, providing you with a cohesive final look!

POV: You want to do a bo***ir session but you don't know where to start or what to expect.
Hi! Well, first, you found me, so you're off to a great start.
I have multiple ways for you to reach me!
I prefer email or my online inquiry form (when it's not acting a fool and sending your emails to my spam).
You can DM me, but sometimes (like now) I get banned from answering messages, so that sucks.
So, for funsies, let's just do email, okay?
I have that readily available in nearly every post!
Here it is again: [email protected]
I'll tell you a little about me, chat a little about what you're looking to get from your session, and then give you the options I provide that will be your best fit.
Easy peasy!

I also have a thriving community of incredible women in my private Facebook group who get to connect with me on a more personal level before booking their session. This option is really good for people who are especially shy/nervous about booking a session as vulnerable as a bo***ir session with "a stranger".

If you're still the type that has a hard time initiating contact, feel free to drop a comment and I'll reach out to you instead!

Let's talk about weight, shall we.

Every day I get messages from women that say the same thing.
"I'm a big girl and I'm afraid I just won't like myself in any of the pictures".

I need y'all to understand something right now.
If you come into your session as a size 20, 22, 2, 12, whatever, you're still going to be that person in your photos.

If you're expecting to see yourself as a "smaller/thinner/thicker/skinnier" you, that's not what I do.

I will use my expertise to style, pose and photograph you in your absolute finest, and in editing and retouching, I'll add some magic and even offer digital "nip/tuck" --TO A REALISTIC RESULT.

My end goal is to show you that you are beautiful, sensual, worthy, and enough just as you are.
It's not giving you a "wish" version of yourself.
That's what AI is for. ๐Ÿ˜

Now, if you're working on yourself, for your own personal health, and want to wait for your session when you reach your goal, I will cheer you on and be here when you're ready. Just don't forget that beautiful things can happen NOW, just as you are, too.

I wish I could share more from this spicy senorita's time in the after dark room here, (but I'm sharing some on Insta and Blue Sky).
True beauty never needs to be hidden. ๐Ÿ’—

Real women.
Real bodies.
Real good.

Stop thinking you have to be a certain size, a certain shape or age.
Many of my clients are in the 40 & 50+ range. I find a lot of these clients come from old society standards and beliefs that they're not good enough, that their bodies are made for birthing and taking care of the kids & house.
And they're ready to take their control back.
They're ready to embrace the sensual side of their body without shame or judgement, without being told, "no, you can't do that. You can't be that."
YES. YOU. CAN.

You can be a good wife, mother, sister, teacher, nurse, doctor, lawyer AND be a sensual person.

These are the blocks I'm helping hundreds of women just like you overcome.

Your session can be classy or a little bad-assy.
Or maybe even a mix of both.
Many of my clients don't really know what they want, because they don't know what they're capable of until they're doing it!!
It's an incredible moment to witness the feeling of "Wow, this is me!" taking over at your session.
