Let’s talk about stretching, and how important it is.

I consider how we do bo***ir very similar to the weirdest physical therapy appointment you have ever had. I make sure to go over any mobility issues before hand and discuss alternatives and modifications for poses.

SO YES IT IS NORMAL TO BE LIKE OKAY THIS FEELS WEIRD. It is normal to be like okay so are we playing adult twister? lol

Because let’s get real, who does these poses everyday? No one, not even Kim k. So it’s normal to he nervous and questioning your life when your b***y is up in the air and your hands are grabbing your thighs. You look strong. You look confident. You look like you could beat up men.

It’s hot af, realistic expectations for normal smezy time? No, but after your session I bet you will be like HEY BOO BOO LOOK AT THIS.

Love always,
The weirdo showing you these poses with zero b***y. Reminding you that you look amazing.

Signed,
CEO of a dented fridge for an A**

Just some galaxy fun to brighten up your morning ✨✨ I have been diving into some of our old work recently since our instagram was taken down this year. So if you see some of the old work, drop it some love! We are slowly but steadily growing it back up. ✨

A little B**M, a little rock & roll, and a whole lot of fu***ng attitude. 🎸🖤

I swear, some of my favorite sessions are the ones where we get to step outside traditional bo***ir and create something that feels like it belongs on the cover of a 90s rock album.

The leather, the chains, the guitar, the messy grunge energy. UGH. I am obsessed with how this entire set came together.

There’s something so damn sexy about mixing that raw, rebellious rockstar energy with the darker side of our Gothic Studio.

And that’s what I love about bo***ir. You don’t have to fit into one specific version of sexy. You can be soft and romantic one day and look like you’re about to headline a sold-out rock show the next. 😂

Your session can be whatever the hell you want it to be.

And if that means bringing a guitar into the studio, throwing on some leather, and channeling your inner badass?

BABY, I’M HERE FOR IT. 🔥

Now I need to know, are we bringing back the 90s grunge era?! 🖤🎸

She came in asking for soft.

Romantic. Feminine. A little more delicate than what we normally do in the Gothic Studio.

And then somewhere along the way she basically said…

Actually, f**k that. I wanna be a baddie. 😂

AND THANK GOD SHE DID.

Because THIS woman surrounded by a ridiculous amount of candle wax, crawling around a giant fu***ng cage in black lace while showing off some of the most incredible tattoo work?!

Yeah. This was clearly where we were supposed to end up. 😂🔥

Meaghan absolutely nailed her makeup too. We kept her gorgeous and polished, but gave her enough drama to match the darker direction the session started taking—and once everything came together, she looked fu***ng POWERFUL.

And that’s one of my favorite things about bo***ir.

You don’t have to walk into the studio already knowing exactly who you want to be.

You can come in wanting soft.

You can change your mind.

You can decide halfway through that actually… today you want to crawl around on the floor in lingerie surrounded by candles looking like the final boss.

We support personal growth here. 😂

Also CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER TATTOOS?! The black lace against all of that artwork, the red velvet, the warm candlelight and the cage were fu***ng ridiculous together.

This entire gallery feels dark, feminine, expensive and just a tiny bit dangerous.

Which is basically everything I want our Virginia Gothic Studio to be. 🖤

Drop this absolute BADDIE some love because she fu***ng KILLED IT. 🔥

Apparently Florida was the weekend where all of my weirdly specific interests became bo***ir sessions. 😂

When she told me she wanted bookworm with a hint of the classic Brendan Fraser The Mummy, I was immediately like—

Say. Less.

First of all, Brendan Fraser is literally my second husband, so there was absolutely no fu***ng way I was going to disrespect his legacy. 😂

We wanted this to feel like the hot librarian who absolutely read the ancient book she was specifically told NOT to read.

Old books everywhere.
Pearls.
Deep reds.
Warm, golden light.
A little vintage.
A little mysterious.
And a whole lot of someone is definitely getting cursed tonight.

And can we PLEASE talk about what Meaghan did with her hair and makeup?! 😭

That perfectly imperfect, messy vintage updo with the glasses gave us exactly the librarian energy we wanted, while the makeup kept everything sultry and glamorous instead of feeling like a costume.

Then we pulled in all of those gorgeous warm browns, golds and reds that make The Mummy feel so fu***ng iconic.

And SHE. KILLED. IT.

Also, every single time I photograph in our Florida Gothic Studio, I fall in love with this tiny little treasure all over again. I keep adding to it every time I’m down there, and somehow it just keeps getting moodier, weirder, sexier, and more us.

Basically, if Evelyn Carnahan had an OnlyFans.

This would be it. 😂📚🔥

Drop this absolute BOOKWORM BABE some fu***ng love because I am OBSESSED. 🖤

She walks into the Greenhouse Studio wanting vintage Old Hollywood.

Perfect. Gorgeous. Love it.

Then she pulls out her Anita Blake vampire books and casually tells me she brought them for her photos.

Ma’am.

ANITA. FU***NG. BLAKE.

Literally one of my favorite series EVER. At that point I knew we were about to be best friends. 😂

Then the tarot cards came out.

Then we discovered that her ass is approximately the size of a small planet.

AND THEN SHE SHOOK IT.

And I s**t you not, A FU***NG STORM ROLLED IN.

Thunder. Rain. The whole damn thing.

She summoned that s**t. I watched it happen. You cannot convince me otherwise. 😂⛈️🍑

And because apparently this woman didn’t already have enough lore, halfway through the session she casually drops:

“My great-grandmother held the world record for the smallest waist.”

EXCUSE ME???

So apparently being snatched is quite literally generational. 😭

Vintage Hollywood.
Vampire s**t.
Tarot cards.
An ancestral snatched waist.
An ass powerful enough to alter the fu***ng weather.

Best. Session. Ever.

I fu***ng love my job. 😂🖤

Awhhhh, how life brings on side quests that just brings everything together.

If you have been a client for the past year, or are apart of our Facebook group you probably saw that our Elly is pregnant. She asked me if I could photograph her birth of her son, and of course I had to break out the skills for birth photography. It’s been 5 years since my last birth.

While bo***ir is my focus, birth photography will always be my passion. I loved the documentary style of capturing the human strength. So, here I was. At 12am. Packing up the cameras and batteries and extra memory cards for another round of birth photography.

And with that, the Steve Irwin of birth photography is back.

Send our Elly some love, Ronan was born today at 9:48am. ❤️❤️
