Yesterday marked this little guy’s first trip around the sun ☀️ Soft smiles, squishy cheeks, and love you can feel—it reminded me that connection is always the heart of what I do. Happy (belated) birthday, sweet boy 💛

I’m looking for 6 women who want to be part of a new project that’s raw, beautiful, and deeply personal.
This is about connection — with yourself, with nature, with your story.
We’ll shoot outdoors — think mountains, trees, open sky, water… or gritty city streets if that’s your kind of wild.
this project is about us connecting

🖤 What you’ll receive:
* A deeply connected 60 min outdoor photo session

* Posing, expression, and energy guidance throughout
* professional retouching of images

🔒 Requirements:
* Must be 18+
* Must not already have a session booked
* Must be comfortable with emotionally expressive images (not necessarily nude/bo***ir — but bold, natural, and vulnerable in tone)
* Must sign a image release for select images to be shared and published

Each session includes a connection call and optional story interview, which helps shape the vision of your shoot and allows me to tell your story through images. Stories will be shared anonymously in a blog series accompanying the project.

💸 Session Info:
This special pricing is for project participants only
* $200 retainer to book — required to reserve your spot (normally $400)
* This retainer becomes studio credit towards the starting image package

For her 29th birthday, I had the honor of capturing her strength, resilience, and fierce femininity in a powerful outdoor shoot. This isn’t just a photoshoot — it’s a celebration of survival and choosing yourself. Its fu**in art.

✨ Want to see the full story and photos? Read the blog www.shadebo***ir.com/blog— it’s one of the most personal shoots I’ve ever done, and I can’t wait to share her journey with you.

She left with something a camera couldn't capture...
She came in wanting some hot empowering photos for herself. She walked away with the deepest, most powerful reminder of who she is.

Bo***ir isn't just about looking and feeling sexy.

It's not just about lingerie and lighting, getting the best angels of yourself.

It's about reclaiming and owning the beautiful sacred space you hold within yourself.

It's about seeing yourself with softness, pride and fu**ing power.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’d love to do a bo***ir shoot, but I’m too nervous / awkward / not ready / too skinny / too fat / I have nothing to wear / what if I hate them...”
You’re not alone babe.
In fact, here’s what some of my clients had to say:

💬 “I came in feeling hectic with a wardrobe fail—but Taylor was so patient and took such good care of me. She brought my crazy idea to life and absolutely KILLED it.”

💬 "I fell in love and became obsessed with myself. I feel like I'm a whole new level and not everyone is worthy of me"

💬 “I had nerves before the shoot, but Taylor answered all my questions, helped me feel confident and PUMPED. This is your sign to do the shoot (with Shades)!”

💬“I’ve never felt more beautiful. Taylor knows how to work the camera, how to make you feel comfortable, and how to make the experience fun.”

💬“She made me feel like a complete Goddess—twice. Taylor is my hype woman and now, honestly, a friend.”

The truth is, this experience isn’t just about photos. It’s about seeing yourself through a perspective—maybe for the first time in a long time, maybe for the first time ever. - THAT is the magic of Shade Bo***ir.

Life is short.
Life is long.
Life is beautiful.

Stop waiting for “one day.”
If you keep telling yourself that (with this—or anything in life), that day will never come.

So if you’ve been thinking about it…

✨ This is your sign.

With deep love, wild confidence and free spirit,
Taylor
Shade Bo***ir

P.S. If your heart’s saying “maybe…” or “someday…” or even "ugh I just don't know..." — let’s talk. Just send me a message and I’ll send you everything you need to know or we can schedule a quick girl - girl call. No pressure, just love, details, and hype. 💫

Let me be honest with you… Catherine O'Hara or as we all know and love her as “Moira Rose” said it best.“Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny bo***es." But, believe me, one day you will look at tho...
