When I was younger I always felt different than the people around me and was faced with insecurities that were hard to understand. I thought when I achieved a certain physical development or appeared a certain way all my problems would go away. To my surprise that wasn’t how the world worked and I spent so long trying to please others. I began going to therapy and spending more time focusing on self-discovery and being introspective about where my beliefs stem from. This really helped me unlock parts of myself that I didn’t know existed. A time came when a friend and I did a boudoir session trade for each other and I was shocked by how much I needed this experience. It was a transformative experience! When I saw the images I was blown away at who I was seeing. It’s like my insecurities melted away and I could see myself for who I actually was; someone who was beautiful, courageous, and perfect just the way they are for who they are. From this experience and the change it’s created within me, I am passionate about sharing this with others. I’ve become my own cheerleader and I’m ready to become yours too!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been most satisfied when I’m helping people. Whether it’s through actions or words of support, I feel the most like myself when I’m serving. While caring for other people comes naturally to me, taking care of myself, unfortunately, does not. I suffered from depression and low self-esteem for so long that I used to believe it was just a part of my personality, instead of a negative feedback loop to break out of. Thanks to therapy, mindfulness, and the never ending support from Stephanie, I’ve learned to love myself through all circumstances. While I didn’t ever anticipate becoming a photographer, being able to capture the abundance of love at weddings felt like a natural extension of my desire to serve. After seeing Stephanie’s remarkable boost in confidence after her first boudoir session, I knew I wanted to provide the same experience to as many people as possible.
