Valentine’s Boudoir: A Celebration Of Love

Valentine’s Day this year is going to be extra special for many. For some, it’s a
celebration of a new phase of love. For others, it’s a celebration of love reignited
after the pandemic. And for many, it’s a time when they’ll reflect on how much
love they’re surrounded by. Regardless of what you’re celebrating this year…
what I appreciate about Valentine’s Day is that you don’t have to have a partner
in order to celebrate it.


Love can mean a variety of things to different people. The love of a mother, for
example, is a deep unconditional love that can be celebrated all year around.
The love of a best friend who knows all the parts of you and still loves you is
another. I personally love to use Valentine’s Day each year to show love to my
beautiful daughter. Love has many forms, but one of the most important forms of
love you can embrace is the love you have for yourself. We are our toughest
critic and often forget that Valentine’s Day can also be about falling a little more
in love with who we’ve become.

When I do Valentine’s Day Boudoir Photoshoots, oftentimes it’s for women who are wanting to surprise their partners with a gift that helps to freeze time – a moment when they feel the most passion in their love story that they’ll want to remember forever. But the truly special and unique Valentine’s Day sessions I get to do are the ones that simply celebrate who the woman is. I love that these sessions are focused on creatively showcasing her personality and unique beauty. More importantly, it’s about embracing the experiences that have made her who she is.


You see, Valentine’s Day shoots are works of art. Yes, they’re literal pieces of art… but YOU are the work of art. You are beautiful because of your experiences and the strength you’ve had to work through the toughest moments. So when I think of Valentine’s Day and what it means, I think of a moment in time that we can pause and see the beautiful masterpieces we’ve become. Boudoir shoots are an excellent way to capture that moment so that even on your toughest days, you’re reminded how truly beautiful and strong you are.

So cheers to you this Valentine’s Day, and all the love that you share. And speaking of sharing, here are some of my favorite Valentine’s Day boudoir moments over the years:

A Message For Moms Everywhere

“The Woman who is my best friend, my teacher, my everything: Mom”

Mother’s Day is a special holiday. It’s a day when we get to honor the sacrifice and love of mothers everywhere, taking the time to remember the significance of motherhood and its impact in our lives. The women who shape our lives, whether a mom, grandma or favorite aunt, are the women who have stood by us from the very first day. They offer comfort, encouragement and care, and provide for us in more ways than we could name.

That’s why we like to pay special tribute to the moms in our lives on Mother’s Day, by showcasing their amazing bond and selfless love. 

For mothers everywhere, a child will always be her baby no matter how old they get or wherever life may take them. The beautiful joy of motherhood and what makes moms so special for every child is the part where they love us unconditionally from our first steps.

As we continue to grow, a special bond is formed between mothers and their kiddos. As personality starts to form, so too does a special friendship.

This is called the “Laugh Factor” stage. It is the best of times, but also the most challenging of times. Mom’s give us extra patience during our younger years and guidance into who we are to become.

As we keep growing into who we are as young adults, we encounter new life experiences, and this is when our mothers become a shoulder to cry on, teach us right and wrong, and sacrifice everything to be at our recitals, ball games and plays to show us how much they love and support us. 

One of the hardest phases in life is to watch your baby grow up. Although filled with much joy, for moms, when their children grow into adults and build their own families, it’s time to let go. But there is a new kind of friendship formed when this happens and we begin to see all that our moms have done for us over the years.

So to every mom out there, we want to take the opportunity to say:

 For all the sacrifices you have made, for all the unconditional support and love you have shown, for all of the lessons you have taught, for all the friendship you have given…

 …we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done.

Jump Into Spring With a Garden Goddess Session

Jump Into Spring With a Garden Goddess Session

Spring is a beautiful time of the year. It’s a season full of changes to the world around us, as well as within us. It’s a time of the year when we’re shedding the old and stepping into the new – a new wardrobe, life, goals, physique, and style. Boudoir photography is a wonderful opportunity year-round to celebrate who you are, but Spring is particularly special because it’s full of vibrant colors and renewed energy, creating a new aesthetic for outdoor photography.

Choosing an outdoor springtime location for a boudoir photo shoot can be a difficult task. Although there are diverse plants and flowers on display, cultural events and activities happening such as music festivals, walks, outdoor yoga, and celebratory events. These can make it difficult to find the perfect aesthetic undisrupted and private.

A garden, however, is one of the most perfect locations for an outdoor spring-themed boudoir session- it’s private and provides a tranquil backdrop, and is usually full of beautiful colors and aesthetics, making it a great space for portraits. But, not everyone has a green thumb or has access to a garden that provides the right look for a boudoir shoot. If you’re not up for wandering, you’ll be happy to know that we are launching our spring promo that features an outdoor boudoir session in my own home and garden. 

The Garden Goddess session is an opportunity to get beautiful boudoir portraits taken with a colorful backdrop and beautiful natural lighting that will bring out your inner goddess. Imagine sipping a Mimosa with the wind in your hair and the sun on your back with your favorite music playing – that’s the tranquil experience our Garden Goddess promo event offers.

 Many clients have absolutely loved their outdoor boudoir photoshoots in my home garden studio for that very reason, as well as the beautifully vibrant flowers and ivy, day bedding, fountains, and swings that it has to offer in a private setting.

We’re so excited to launch this year’s Garden Goddess spring promotion that we’ve put together a video to give you a glimpse of this beautiful setting that will transport you, relax you, and bring out your inner goddess.
