Jan contacted me about setting up a shoot as a Christmas present for her husband. During our call Jan told me her story how she lost her first husband and didn’t think she’d find love again. That is until her path crossed Michael’s path as they were both walking their dogs. Hear it from Jan…

I love traveling to my North Carolina studio a few times a year and meeting a whole new set of clients. When Jayne heard I was coming to town she reached out. We realized our schedules weren’t going to jive. I promised to keep her posted when I would be back in town. When my…

I send all of my clients a questionnaire to get to know them a little better prior to their session with me. Kristen’s response to the questions “Describe your clothing style” made me laugh out loud. She said if she can’t wear her boots, she’s not going. I knew from talking to Kristen on the…

I LOVE a New Year. By nature, I’m a pretty reflective person so I enjoy looking over all that happened in the previous year – yes even amidst the craziness of COVID. I keep a journal and this is a great time to look back at what I was thinking and feeling the previous year.…

“I decided to do this shoot as a gift for my husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary. I had some serious body-image issues after having children and was concerned that the photographs would show every imperfection of my body. From the time I contacted Karen, she reassured me that not only will my husband…

Can we talk about the V word? No, not that word. Validation. Women seek validation from so many sources. Our likes on social media. Comments from friends. What our busy schedule looks like. How our kids are thriving. Validation only comes from one place. Within yourself. As a boudoir photographer I come alongside you in…

See that look? That’s the look of one determined chick! I’ve photographed Abby a couple of times and I’ve watched her transform and evolve into an amazing woman. During COVID she did some intentional looking inward, figuring out what her best life looked like and what she really wanted at her core. She kept putting…
