you’ve been going since January

Since before January actually, since that thing in October you still haven’t fully sat with. Since the work thing you answered to at 11pm. Since the last time you said yes when every part of you meant no. Since you started noticing that you’re apologizing more for things that weren’t your fault

it’s June & you’re still going

And there’s this thought you keep circling back to -

✨I want someone to just see me✨

Not what I do
Not what I hold together

Just me

Picture a whole day where you are the only thing that matters

Where you get to laugh and get your makeup done and someone positions your hands and reminds you to relax shoulders

You leave with art. You also leave having spent a full day being treated like art & like you are the most interesting thing they’ve ever pointed a camera at

Because you are precisely all of those things 💌 life’s too f*cking short to forget that

you fold laundry in that body, rush through the grocery store, sit through meetings, make dinner, say goodnight in that body

The body that has carried you through days that felt like years, seasons you didn’t think you’d make it through. Through mornings where the only reason you got vertical was for that cup of coffee or new alani flavor

and somewhere in between, we stopped noticing it except to criticize it

when is the last time you looked at yourself the way you’d look at moss growing on a stone? Without trying to fix it or wanting it to be different, just “oh, there you are”

a session isn’t about fixing anything, it’s about pointing the light at you on purpose. The way the woods do, sometimes, when you’re not even looking. like when you catch the light coming through the trees & you feel lucky because you saw it at that moment

That’s what we do here ✨

Because you live here and have always lived here. This body has carried you through every version of yourself so far, and it’s still here, still showing up, still being yours

That is worth the photograph 💌

hey, you are the whole point (!!!!)

life is way too short to think that we aren’t interesting, hot, funny, dreamy af, intelligent, and really fcking cool (and so many more good words)

when I say it’s more than photos I mean it - it’s a love letter to the narratives we get to recreate, remember, and take back into our own hands and heads

for the ones changing & celebrating

for the ones learning how to see themselves differently

for the ones who’ve never thought they could do something like this

it’s always for you

“Who does something like this?”

When I think about all of the beautiful souls who have stepped into the studio over the years, I’m just….truly amazed. It’s hard to put into words.

If you’re on the outside looking in, I think bo***ir can seem like so many things (and that’s because it is) - but I think it can be intimidating because for a long time bo***ir was often associated with the male gaze, modeling, tall/thin/skinny agendas, hyper-feminine vibes, etc.

So when I’m sitting on the floor with you, helping you fall into your pose, I want you to know my clients are people - people who have worked really hard to be where they’re at, people with families, people who spill their coffee on themselves driving to work. They are people who spend their time being makers, creatives, managers, healthcare workers, photographers, pharmacists, restaurant employees, tattooers & piercers, mental health providers, mother figures, retired, IT pros, realtors, customer service reps. And so many more.

They are every day people living their lives. They are people who give a s**t. And honestly they’re probably fellow weirdos like me lol.

And this kind of art exists to remind you of….you. What it feels like (re)connecting to yourself, your body, and your magic that can’t be replicated. Connecting to yourself on a deeper level. Giving yourself presence that isn’t the daily norm - home, kids, or work. A space to celebrate how cool it is to be in this body in an artistic way - to make art that feels like something.

the spring muse call is officially OPENNNN 🤍

🥀 to anyone who feels like they’re thawing and craving something that feels alive again

imagine being seen in the kind of light that feels like late afternoon through a window where everything starts to feel real again

That’s the kind of space I love build around b0udoir

Spring is the season where people remember parts of themselves they forgot over winter

and the sun is coming back so we can illuminate it again

If that’s been a feeling for you lately, this is for you.

follow along ~ cool things opening soon 🤍

💌 For the ones who were called "too much" before they were called art

Too emotional
Too intense
Too sensitive
Too weird
Too full of (insert someone's loud and wrong opinion here

As if you were supposed to carve yourself into something easier for the world to hold

Some of my favorite people are the ones who get goosebumps listening to music. Who romanticize gas station lights and thunderstorms. The sweet & the misunderstood.

and the ones who thought they needed to shrink their laugh, their body, their needs, their style, their hunger, their joy - and are slowly realizing hey no that's actually not it

I make art for those people

You were never too much 🥀

I know this might sounds wild, but the thing I care about most during your session is not looking hot ! ! !

Even though……yes. We’ll absolutely create beautiful photos and honor the spice™️ if that’s the vibe (❤️‍🔥)

I care most about creating an atmosphere where your mind and body can exist together

And that looks like you maybe laughing harder than expected, softening into yourself, and realizing you were never actually *bad at photos*

You just needed a space that knew how to hold you 💌
