Here she is 🤍

A brand new base studio set that is warm, moody, romantic, and intentionally designed to feel grounding the second you step inside. This space is meant to help you soften, settle, and reconnect with yourself before we even take a single photo.

This is the foundation of the studio moving forward…

and yes, there’s more coming 👀✨

Tell me — how does this space make you feel?

Welcome to my favourite place on earth 😌

This studio has watched me grow so much. It's held me through so much.

I don't just use this space for shooting, although that's definitely my favourite thing to do here, I also use it as my home away from home. Most of my days, I'm here, session or not.. I feel safe here, so here is where I journal, read tarot, meditate and come back to myself.

I've always felt that having to set up each time was a blessing, and while I still appreciate that aspect of creative freedom, I've recently come realize that I want something consistent.

For all of my sessions, I would do something different from the last, similar usually, but different. And now? Now I've created a dream set of mine. I have many dream sets so I will definitely still be exploring and creating more over time but to have a base set that feels so warm, intimate and grounding, is what my soul needed.

I'm always excited about the sets I create but this one? It's the one my heart sings for. The one I can't stop starring at. The one that has filled my artist heart the most.

I am so excited to share it with you... to show you how peaceful it feels and how comforting it is. It's the perfect space to truly come home to yourself. To become one with your mind, body, heart and soul. I can't wait for you come here and experience this with me ❤️

My Story

I used to let the trauma run the show.

I was desperate for love — the kind that made me feel whole, seen, and safe — and I searched for it in all the wrong places. I shape-shifted constantly to fit in, pretending to be someone I wasn’t just to feel accepted. I gave into peer pressure because I thought rejection would break me.

But what broke me more was how invisible I felt, even when I was right in front of people.

I didn’t know how to sit with my emotions, let alone regulate them.
So I pushed them down, covered them up, and tried to bury the shame.
I altered every photo of myself, chasing a version of me that felt more “worthy.”
I begged to be seen — while secretly terrified that someone actually would.

And then… I became a mother.

And motherhood shattered me.
It cracked me open in the most painful, profound, holy way.
It stripped away every mask I had ever worn and forced me to face the truth:
No one was coming to save me.
I had to save myself.

Because these babies — they didn’t just need a mom.
They needed a whole woman.
A woman who knew how to love herself.
A woman who could show them what it meant to rise from the ashes.

So I did the work.

I started healing. Slowly. Spiritually.
I began reconnecting with myself — the raw, messy, emotional, fiery, magical version.
I left the relationship that tried to erase me.
I chose myself. Over and over again.
Even when it hurt.
Even when it felt impossible.
Even when it would have been easier to stay small.

And now? I treat my energy like the sacred thing it is.
I don’t beg to be seen anymore — I stand in the light.
I protect my peace. I own my softness and my power.
And I use every single part of that journey to guide other women home to themselves.

My camera became my voice. My way of saying:
“You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to love yourself now.”
Not when you hit a goal.
Not when you finally feel “enough.”
Now.

This business is my reclamation — and yours too.
A place where healing meets beauty. Where softness is celebrated.
Where no one has to shrink to be worthy of being captured.
A place where we get to remember who the f**k we are — and fall in love with her.

I have never been thin. I've always been the "big" friend. Stores didn't always carry my size. I couldn't do everything my friends could do. Or wear what they wore. The first time I realized I was bigger, I was 6. I didn't have a great childhood so I coped with food. By the time I was 19, I was 200lbs. I hated looking in the mirror and every image I took of myself, I altered in some way. I felt huge. Gross. Ugly. It was awful. I lived in misery. Getting out bed was a huge chore for years. I live in my room. I couldn't be happy with anything in my life because I wasn't happy with myself. I didn't think I was worthy of happiness. Or my own love. I had gestational diabetes and was insulin dependent with each pregnancy. I dealt with horrible body pain that caused me to hardly be able to move without extreme pain. So I gained a lot of weight. After I had my oldest I realized I needed to change my mindset. I didn't want my daughter to grow up seeing me unhappy with myself. It was hard. A lot of roadblocks and set backs. Constantly trying to retrain my brain. Now, here I am, at 25, FINALLY able to say that I love myself. It's like a breath of fresh air being able to say that and mean it. I am at my heaviest weight and that doesn't mean I am not beautiful or worthy of my own love. Every single day I do affirmations. I remind myself that I am a beautiful badass mama. It used to make me physically cringe and sometimes even cry to say these things about myself. I have had more than my fair share of sh*tty people in my life and each of them chipped away at my self esteem even more. It has been a long road to repair the damage they caused but I did it. And now I get the incredible honour to help other women do the same. Because every single one of you deserve your own love too. It's scary getting half naked (or fully naked) in front of a stranger and getting your pictures taken. But I promise you that you will leave feeling better than before. And to be able to have images of yourself that you love and feel good in, is the best thing ever. So when you're ready to take the leap, I will be here for you. Every step of the way. I love you and it's time for YOU to love you.
