We made a baby!

A maternity boudoir session offers a unique opportunity for expectant mothers to celebrate the beauty and strength of their changing bodies in a sensual and empowering way. During this transformative time, many women experience a profound connection to their bodies and a heightened sense of femininity. These types of sessions allow you to embrace and showcase this journey, capturing the natural curves, softness, and glow of pregnancy in a series of intimate and elegant photographs.

Beyond just documenting the physical changes, these sessions provide a space for mothers-to-be to connect with their growing babies on a deeper level, fostering a sense of love, anticipation, and joy that can be cherished for years to come. Whether it's a gift for a partner, a keepsake for themselves, or simply a celebration of the miraculous process of pregnancy, a maternity boudoir session serves as a powerful affirmation of the beauty, resilience, and inherent femininity of motherhood.

Love and madness

As she entered the elegant studio, adorned with plush furnishings and soft, flattering lighting, a wave of nervous excitement washed over her. With each click of the camera shutter, she found herself shedding layers of self-doubt and insecurity, basking instead, in a newfound sense of confidence and empowerment. Sara, the photographer, with skillful guidance and a warm demeanor, helped her navigate each pose with grace and ease, capturing her natural beauty in every frame. From the gentle curve of her hips to the sparkle in her eyes, every detail was immortalized in a series of stunning photographs that radiated sensuality and self-assurance. By the end of the session, she left the studio feeling not only beautiful but also deeply connected to her inner strength and femininity, her boudoir images serving as a powerful reminder of her worth and resilience.

A dirty boudoir session

Before planting our vegetable garden in our back yard, I rolled around in the dirt. Maybe that’s why it’s producing so well this year! ;)

Porch plants and sunlight selfies

Bored at home…might as well take selfies on the back porch!

The sweetest badass you'll ever meet.

Sheer and lace

Love her but leave her wild...

Georgia Vacation = fun selfies!

Going on vacation, for me, always means taking a few selfies wherever I am. After about an hour hike down a mountain in Georgia, we found ourselves alone at the base of this gorgeous little lake. Natuallry, I had my camera so I set it up to take some selfies that I’m pretty darn proud of!

*Not seen in the photos is my maniac dog romping through the water around me

After our hike, we deiced to rest our bones in the jacuzzi, another perfect setting to continue with selfies!

There's a little Harley Quinn in all of us

I had such a blast photographing this gorgeous return client! She definitely kept me on my toes, going from sweet and innocent to badass bondage in the blink of an eye and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Sexy Iron Man? Yes please!

Make sure you scroll all the way down…You’ll thank me ;)

I am sick of getting punished for trying to normalize female sexuality! I am tired of being ostracized for embracing the beauty of the female form.

Why is it “normal” and accepted to have images of violence and war? Why do we allow our children to play games that promote hatred and listen to songs that encourage greed and gluttony but squirm when asked if you want to have a print made from your boudoir session? I hear so often, “I don’t want my kids to see me in this way.” Why!? Why can’t we be proud of our bodies and our sexuality? Show them that it is NORMAL to be sexual, use this as a learning tool, a door to openly discuss safety and love in a sexual environment. If anything, use it to show them that you love yourself enough to display yourself as a work of art.

In Naomi Katz’s book, “Beautiful: Being an Empowered Young Woman,” she quotes, “By speaking honestly, we create a culture that embraces female sexuality without demeaning it, a culture that honors the most basic human desire and the beauty of women’s bodies.”

Stepping off of my soap box now…

Lavender, sunsets and boudoir

This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to return to France (fun fact, I studied here in college) to take part in my best friend’s dream wedding. Although I have been to France several times throughout my life, this was the first time that I was able to see the lavender fields in full bloom and I was determined to shoot some boudoir in them. The challenge was, all of the fields are privately owned and most of them are in very public locations. However, while at the church (you can see it way back in the distance on top of the hill), I was able to scout out a small lavender field off of a dirt road so hubby and I ventured down to see what we could see.

It was an absolute dream! And although I didn’t have a model with me, I didn’t let that stop me! I positioned the camera, set the setting, told the hubs exactly where to stand (for the most part) and dropped trou (or dress, in this case).

What a fun and exhilarating experience. I can check that one off the bucket list!

A little bit of naughty, a little bit of nice

This return client’s session was everything from naughty to super sweet. Make sure you book us every year for your yearly confidence boost! ;)

A fine art creative outlet

As much as I adore photographing my clients in my Tarpon Springs studio, sometimes I need to step outside of my box and out of my comfort zone to get the creative juices flowing again.

So here we are, in the middle of the woods, sweating and getting bit by mosquitos and loving every minute of this gorgeous fine art nude session.

I’m also very proud and excited to announce that this series will be published in next month’s nude issue of “Solis Magazine”!

20 years later...

Can you tell that this sexy couple has been married for almost 20 years!? Marriage is so hard, it requires so much work and effort and dedication but when it’s done right, the reward of having a partner for life is so worth the effort. So if you’ve been married as long as these two have, what better way to celebrate your love and re-ignite the flame than with a couple’s session! They even ordered 3 huge canvases to hang in their bedroom to remind them daily that they are sexy, in love and meant to be <3
