We're here to show you how to kick your negative self talk to the freaking curb. I'm here to show you that the (false) beauty standards you've been conditioned to believe are the furthest thing from the truth. YOU ARE POWERFUL. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE WORTHY. YOU ARE STRONG. Standing at the bottom of the self acceptance mountain looking up is DAUNTING- I get it. But TOGETHER we're going to make that climb. So strap in.......... Get ready for a complete mental transformation, a transformation where you now realize your worth. You realize that your outer appearance is irrelevant. Where you wake up everyday & appreciate your one & only permanent home; your body!Button -

In case you missed it I made a place on the internet to post any portrait/branding stuff I take on @portraitsbybaresoul ✨🫶🏼 Boudoir still is and always will be my main focus but I've been having fun doing some branding stuff for some friends + family so figured I'd open it up to others as well & create a place to post some of that work 🤪 (availability for these is limited & I’ll still be selective with what I take on🫶🏼) Boudoir not your thing but still want a lil confidence boost? You can now book solo portrait sessions as well! All the info is linked in the highlights over on that page or also linked in the bio!❤️Button -

👉🏻 Our bodies move. 👉🏻 Our skin folds. 👉🏻 We jiggle. 👉🏻 We have fat cells. (Cellulite- EVERYONE HAS FAT CELLS!) 👉🏻 Stretch marks happen when our body grows. (Or grows a human! 🤯) - But I'm here to help you stop focusing on all of these things & start focusing on the beautiful soul INSIDE your body, not the physical vessel that houses it. Because let me tell ya, at the end of the day, when you're old & grey (heheh I make rhymes now) I PROMISE you, you're not gunna be thinking - "Damn I should've worn clothes that pleased others" You'll be thinking: "I'm GLAD I wore what made ME FEEL GOOD." - You won't be thinking: "AHHHH I should've lost 10 pounds" You'll be thinking: "WHO'S THAT HOTTIE" - It's so much easier said then done, It's so much easier to look back 20 years ago & think "How did I think I was anything but perfect?" Trust me, I get that! But that's why I'm here. That's why I devote all my time and energy to SHOWING you how worth you are- AS YOU ARE. To kick start you on your journey to self acceptance! 👏🏼💪🏼❤️Button -

HELLLLUUUUURRR!! I'm Jess, Your confidence fairy god mother & boudoir queen 👑✨🖤🫶🏼 As an introvert to my core, I always felt I worked best in 1 on 1 sessions. Never got into weddings, didn't overly enjoy shooting families or couples. But working one on one with women? Hyping them up, being their biggest cheerleader and giving them images they can look back on for years to come when they're feeling "blahhh"? That's my shit and it took me from 2014-2019 to learn & fully lean into that ✨ I'm a true Capricorn & an enneagram 8w7. Stubborn. Driven. Creative. Honest. Loyal. I'll never turn down an outdoor adventure or spicy foods. You won't find a single item of pink in my closet. I cry at least once a month because dogs lives are too short. (Even though my girls are only 1 & 3 🤣) I've usually got at least 2-3 drinks on the go and those vary depending on my current hyper-fixation 😂 I've had a house plant addiction for years that's slowly expanding into outdoor gardening since buying our first home & finally being able to make whatever changes I can dream up to our outdoor space.🌿 In the summer if it's raining, you'll likely find me curled up in my egg chair under my covered area completely at peace as rain pounds down on the metal roof 💧Button -

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER..... ✨👉🏼 To make sure you're filling YOUR cup before filling others. ✨👉🏼 That it's okay to need time/space away from those that you love. (family, friends) ✨👉🏼 That it's fine to take a little longer to respond when you just don't have a whole lot of energy to give. ✨👉🏼 That you are doing AMAZING. ✨👉🏼 That you've made it this far during these WILD times, so you can keep pushing through. ✨👉🏼 That it's okay to feel like your world is falling apart. Tale a deep breath, tomorrow is a new day. ✨👉🏼 That regardless of the number on the scale or what you see in the mirror you are worthy of happiness. ✨👉🏼 That your life doesn't exist to please others. ✨👉🏼 To be kind, you never know what someones going through.

LET'S TALK NERVES!!! First thing I'm gunna say here is that nerves are TOTALLY normal and should 10000% be embraced. You might be nervous because.... 👉🏼 You rarely like to look at yourself with this minimal clothing, let alone having a stranger see you this way. 👉🏼 You've struggled with body image for years and can't yet see how a photoshoot could change that. 👉🏼 You worry about what your friends/family may think of you for booking a boudoir shoot. 👉🏼 You think that you'll be completely on your own during this experience. 👉🏼 You imagined a scenario in your head where your photos turn out HORRIBLE. 👉🏼 This is wayyyy out of your comfort zone. Any of these sound familiar? In a lot of cases no matter how many times you go over my prep guide, ask me all the questions, read testimonials from past clients or tell yourself that it's just in your head... you will still feel nervous leading up to your session. Boudoir evokes so many emotions. 👉🏼 Fear 👉🏼 Excitement 👉🏼 Nervousness 👉🏼 Anxiety 👉🏼 Hope But my favourite thing to remind clients while they're riding this rollercoaster of emotions leading up to their date, is that growth doesn't come from comfort zones. A lot of times putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations is something we avoid like the plague. But think about how many times you were nervous to do something, and how FREAKING AWESOME it felt after you handled it like a boss. That "FUCK YA I DID THAT" feeling?? That's exactly what you'll feel leaving the studio ❤️Button -

This experience wasn't made just for confident women.... It was made to CREATE confident women!! ✨ A super common misconception about this experience is that you NEED to be confident to book your session and that if you currently lack confidence that this isn't for you! That could not be further from the truth. You see, you may find yourself scrolling through my feed thinking omg I could never look like that. Well, reality is that almost every single babe you're looking at thought that exact same thing. I may sound like a broken record here, but it's so important to me that my clients know that no matter your size, shape, hair colour, age, (aside from 18+) this experience is FOR YOU. The exact limiting thoughts "I can't do this" & "I'm not good enough for this because ______" are the exact thoughts we're working to break the cycle of. I am here to liberate you of those thoughts, but I can't do it on my own! YOU need WANT to change, to live a happier life & to leap out of your comfort zone!❤️ Button -

The thing about learning to accept yourself is that it isn’t easy. It’s constant work. You don’t reach a point where you don’t need to put the effort in anymore. It’s learning to set boundaries. It’s learning to accept that not everyone is going to be your biggest fan. It’s learning to let the opinions of others roll off your shoulders. It’s learning that your physical appearance does not decide your worth. Boudoir forces you to see yourself in a way you never have before. It allows you to see yourself the way the world see you, the way your loved ones see you- from unbiased eyes. It teaches you to see your so called “trouble areas” as works of art, maybe not at first- but the more you see how drop dead gorgeous your photos are regardless of the things you see as “flaws” the more you’ll watch your mindset in your day to day life change ✨🌱Button -

I always tell clients prior to them booking their sessions that they shouldn't expect to not recognize the woman in their photos in terms of not looking like them because of photoshopping or fake looking eyes/skin. (Which I don't do any of 👋🏼) I tell them that they won't recognize the woman who took a leap outside her comfort zone. The woman who did something that felt SO uncomfortable for the sake of growth. I introduce you to that woman. The one who's been there all along. The one they may have forgot about, lost over the years or maybe she's meeting her for the first time. The crazy thing about this experience is that it can teach you SO much about yourself. It proves you can do hard things, it proves that you're worthy (and deserving) of investment into yourself, it instills the mindset that you're so much more than the number on the scale. It allows space for the realization that your insecurities don't define you. And if that's not the coolest fucking thing ever, and THE reason to take the plunge- idk what is 🤭Button -

There's just something about getting in front of the camera that is so healing and I speak from experience when I say that. Both my personal boudoir shoots or branding shoots always light my soul on fire. Planning the location, playing dress up, spending hours creating and then having FIRE photos after to cherish for years to come? Unmatched. Now I know you might be thinking, Jess, you're in front of the camera all the time & do this for a living....OF COURSE you love it. But it wasn't always that way. Years ago, I used to tell everyone "I belong behind the camera, not in front of it" (I'm pretty sure every photographer is guilty of speaking that exact phrase at some point.) It took that initial covid lock down and being bored out of my mind, desperate to shoot someone to push myself to start getting in front of the camera and really enjoying the process of it. It allowed me to put myself in my clients shoes, to experience what they were feeling. It gave me unbelievable confidence in myself. It allowed me to photograph insecurities I had and grow to not pick myself apart so much. The camera can be scary, yes. But also incredibly healing when working with a professional, who you jive with & who's got your best interest in mind from start to finish. It's a feeling that's hard to explain until you've experienced it yourself. But I've seen the growth, the confidence, the joy, the shift in perspective + self talk not only in myself but ESPECIALLY in my multi-past clients who are always coming back for new and fun concepts + shoots. (You know who you are ILY hehe) I see so much growth in them, so much excitement and a completely new woman who was willing to exist outside of their comfort zone for the sake of healing their relationship with themselves. Getting to CREATE in this way is just so much fun and I think more of us need that then we realize. 🖤Button -

I'm Jess (Legal name Jesse, but prefer Jess- just please never call me Jessica🤣) aka Creator of Bare Soul Boudoir, your Confidence Fairy God Mother& Professional Hype Gal✨️ I started Bare Soul Boudoir back in late 2019 after trying boudoir for the first time in early 2018. I was MIND BLOWN when a client came to me expressing how much the session changed how she felt about herself day to day. She told me she took more risks, held her head higher. From that point on I was hooked. Fast forward to now, I've been shooting exclusively boudoir since 2020 and love every damn minute. Growing up I ALWAYS wished I looked different. Whether it was wishing I had bigger boobs, a smaller stomach, a better figure. I was never happy, I was always chasing what I didn't have. Through the art of boudoir + helping other women take back their power, find their confidence and celebrate themselves EXACTLY as they are, I've truly found my life's calling & helped myself heal along the way as well. I've had hundreds of women of all shapes, sizes, colours, background and job titles in front of my camera over the years and with each gallery I am in absolutely awe at the pure beauty of my clients. Outside of work you'll likely find me enjoying a joint with my man and hangin my doggies. My soul puppy, Nala the corso and I also have a Mini Pincher named Millie. (The size difference of 100lbs makes me laugh almost daily!) I love me a good dumpster fire reality TV show to relax and ALWAYS take any opportunity I can to be outside, wherever that may be. (My favourite place to be is listening to rain/thunder under my covered back porch) You'll also find a ton of house plants in my home and any shade of green is my FAVOURITE colour!! (Fitting right???) And you'll NEVER catch me turning down anything covered in hot sauce. Set is @skims 🕊️☁️✨️🤍 Photos by the incredible @sarayajoyphotographyButton -

The most magical part about this experience is that you see yourself from a perspective you never have before. The most common reaction from clients when I show them that first sneak peak on the back of my camera is "HOLY SHIT THAT'S ME?!?!" It's the you that's always been there. The you that's been the punching bag for all your self doubt and negative talk all the years. The you that deserves to be celebrated. The you that through this experience is going to learn that she's worthy of love, worthy of kindness and worthy of feeling at peace in the skin she's in.Button -

The reason I refuse to edit out cellulite & stretch marks 👇🏼 Honestly, this is a topic that comes up a lot with Boudoir. Every photographer out there has a different policy regarding it but I like to be SUPER clear about the fact that I will NOT remove stretch marks or cellulite. And the reason why is a lot more simple than you think. It's not because I can't do it, I have the ability to make your skin look like plastic but that's not the goal here. When you see a photo online that's VERY clearly manipulated (Plastic looking skin, Glass looking eyes.) you know that's not REAL. Photo manipulations popularity is honestly scary. It's perpetuating these false standards, it's damaging minds, mental health & causing dis-trust. I want you to look at your photos & feel on top of the world knowing that's EXACTLY what you look like. Your photos are a complete representation of you. No fancy waist trimming, arm slimming, scar removing! I know you might be thinking uhhhh Jess, I'm gunna look at my photos and hate them because my cellulite is my biggest insecurity..... Well let me paint you a picture. Say I agree to edit your skin to look like glass, remove every single mark, scar, stretch mark. You get your photos back and then you find yourself comparing the woman you see in the mirror to the one in the photos. Those photos aren't you, you're not that person. HOW SHITTY WOULD THAT FEEL. TO LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS KNOWING THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE??!?!?!?!? I know it's scary to be told that one of your biggest insecurities will be left in a photo. But I promise you that by me doing this, you learn to look in the mirror & absolutely adore the person staring back at you. Cellulite, stretch marks, scars & all. ❤️ (Also as a side note, all of these things are less noticeable in photos than you would think❤️)Button -

We all wake up or look in the mirror sometimes & don't feel the greatest. Self love isn't easy. It's not just taking a bubble bath, or going to the spa. It's looking in the mirror and learning to shift your perspective & speak kindly to yourself. It's taking a hard look at your habits and adjusting them to what's best for you and your health. It's putting yourself first when that's not always the easy thing to do. It's doing the things you don't want to do, but you do them because you KNOW they're good for you. It's about learning to preserve your mental energy. Self love isn't always sunshine & rainbows. It's hard work... constant work. But it's work that makes the world of a difference in the quality of your life & that's something worth working for! 🫶🏼Button -

Learning to love yourself is a commitment.. I'll be honest, one boudoir shoot isn't an end all, fix all solution. Your boudoir experience is a seed. A seed that you need to continue to nurture. If you leave your experience and allow yourself to slip back into the same non existent self love habits, then you won't see a change. You need to continue to take time for you, you need to continue to do the hard things that you KNOW are good for you. You need to continue to keep yourself front of mind. But it doesn't stop there. Self love and body confidence isn't always bubble baths and face masks. It's leaping out of your comfort zone and experiencing mad amounts of confidence from doing so. Self love is different from person to person. Maybe it's investing in therapy, maybe it's making a boudoir shoot a yearly thing, maybe it's taking the time to get your nails done, maybe it's hiring a babysitter for the kids one night a week or every other week. Maybe it's taking 10 minutes every morning or night to journal. Maybe it's booking that doctors appointment you've been putting off. Maybe it's committing to moving your body everyday. No matter what self love is to you and how you practice it- your boudoir shoot is the first step in your journey. You get to taste what it's like to put yourself first, to invest in yourself and how amazing that makes you feel. It makes you crave that feeling, and therefore inspires self love in all areas of life. Button -

When you step into my studio it is much more than "Just a Photoshoot" It's an experience. An experience that has the ability to completely shift the perspective you have on your self. An experience that allows you to see yourself from the outside, to take a step back and see yourself from unbiased eyes. An experience that shows you that you're worthy of pampering, of celebration, of love, and of feeling at home in your body. An experience that teaches you how much better you feel when you invest the time and effort into doing things that are for YOU and for no one else. An experience that allows you to reflect on the way you've treated yourself in the past, and sets you up on the path to change your thought patterns. This experience allows you to grow. To heal. To take back your power. And that's something every women deserves to experience. 🖤Button -

It's crazy to think that 6 years ago I had no idea that the art form of boudoir existed. To compare that to now, I've changed THOUSANDS of lives, delivered 10's of thousands of magical images, there's been happy tears in my studio more times than I can count, I've gotten to hear so many inspiring stories from all walks of life. This experience can mean so many different things to women. It can be taking back their power, It can be healing, growing, learning that they're worthy of investment into themselves. It can mean fighting back against generational body image troubles. It can mean healing themselves for the sake of their children. It can be a celebration of aging, getting out of a toxic relationship, or getting into a healthy one. I think that's my favourite part of my job, is that this experience changes lives in so many different ways. Almost never the same as the last babe in front of my camera. I'm so damn lucky to get to be a small part of my clients journeys. I'll never take that responsibility lightly. Ready to book your own? Shoot me a dm for the full introduction guide that has ALLLL the details you need to start planning the first step to your new chapter. ✨🫶🏼🖤🥂 Let's make magic!!!!Button -

I think one of the most fulfilling parts about this job (and I'm sure my fellow artists of any medium can agree) is when the art + creative vision you poured your heart and soul into is so well received. I will never (and I mean NEVER) get tired of the reactions from clients when they blindly trust some out of the box, random idea I come with. That trust means the world, and is something I will never take for granted 🖤 Thank you to everyone who's played a part in allowing this creative gal's visions come to life 🥲🫶🏼✨Button -

Some recent Google Reviews from past clients 👇🏼✨ "Jess was beyond amazing! I wanted to gift my husband a special shoot on our wedding day. I had never done a boudoir shoot before and was super nervous! Jess made the experience absolutely amazing. She leaves no room for your nerves to take over; she explains every step of the way, she validates your feelings, she gets right into the positions before you to demonstrate, and she completely hypes you up the WHOLE time. She is truly fantastic and thrives in what she does. I would recommend Jess to absolutely anyone who is looking to complete a boudoir session! (And future brides, getting your husbands reaction on the wedding day is 10000% better than you’ll even imagine!!!)" "Absolutely blown away with the service I received from Jess and her team! She was made for what she does! I was a ball of nerves before I got to the studio, but after walking into the warmest and welcoming environment, her and her team have created, I became more and more comfortable and confident that I can do it. I walked out with my head held high and happy and proud that I am a strong, powerful, sexy woman..." "Jess made me feel comfortable, safe and free! She truly encapsulated the beauty I didn’t see in myself and it was so refreshing to see myself from the lens of someone else!"

One of my favourite parts about what I do is that I get to work with everyday women, women who need to see this new perspective of themselves more than ever. Women who have given so much to those around them that they often forget about themselves. Women who look in the mirror and pick themselves apart. Women who have made a habit of hating mirrors. Women who avoid the camera at family + friend events. Women who wouldn't call themselves beautiful. Women who need to lean into their feminine. Women who need to feel at home in their bodies again. Women who are tired of fighting the voice in their heads telling them that they aren't good enough. Women who have been conditioned to believe that their worth relies solely on their physical appearance. Women who have been through hard times and are left feeling broken. Women who have fought silent battles. Working with these women is so impactful and so heart warming because after they get their galleries back, they're in shock. 9/10 times they don't even know who they're looking at in their photos. Not because they've been photoshopped, not because we made them feel like someone they weren't. But because in. the chaos of their everyday lives, they don't see that strong, brave, powerful, beautiful woman standing there. They forget about her, or maybe they never got the chance to meet her. Well, allow me to introduce you to the same beautiful woman who was there the whole time. Allow me to lift that veil and give you something tangible to come back to when you're having a moment of self doubt or a tough day. A visual reminder that you can do the things that scare you and that growth comes from outside your comfort zone. 🖤Button -

Brides this one's for you! ✨🕊️💍 While I am always a huge champion of booking an experience for yourself FIRST, I know they're popular (AND KILLER) gifts. If you're wanting products back to gift for your big day, you need your session date to be 8-10 weeks prior to the day you want products IN HAND. I typically recommend aiming to have them in hand a week or so before you want to gift, just to give yourself some wiggle room. If you're wanting just your digital gallery back in time you want to be about 1 month from the date you want your images back for! Gallery turn around is 2-3 weeks but that extra week gives you some time to dream up how to gift them! A great way to incorporate digitals is to keep them a secret until the day of and shoot some of them to your spouse via text while you're apart getting ready 👀 They'll never see that coming 😏😉 There's loads of bridal props available for use in the client closet, including this GORGGGG pearl veil that is BY FAR the most popular bridal piece! I also have faux white rose petals, 2 other veil options, garters, lots of white outfit options AND am constantly adding👀👰🏽♀️💍 AAAAAND as a little treat, if you have @samanthalynn.makeup booked for your wedding day- we have a special little offer exclusive for Sam's clients✨ Once your booking with her is confirmed, shoot her a message for those details 🤍Button -

This incredible human right here has been working along side me for over 4 years now 🥺🖤 Those of you who have been lucky enough to have her for your hair/make-up for your shoot between 2019 & now know what a ray of sunshine Tuni is. Swipe to see some of my EARLY boudoir work of Tuni, what a throw back. We met when she had booked one of my mini sessions in 2019. This was before Bare Soul Boudoir was born, when I FIRST got into boudoir. I believe it was probably that day (cause we instantly clicked) that I messaged her asking her to do make-up for my sessions. Little did I know what this company would grow into 🖤 I can't thank you enough for always leaning into my ideas and helping me bring them to life, for helping me make my studio a safe space for all clients, for going on road trips, for letting me vent, for making me laugh. I love you the most 🥲🫶🏼 Cheers to many more years of friendship & glamming up babes 🫶🏼💌Button -

Allow 2024 to be the year of you. The year you do 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 work 👏🏼 to change what it is that's making you unhappy, miserable, that's holding you back from being the best version of yourself. Listen, I know that shit is NOT easy. It means doing things that scare us, it means pushing against yourself when you want to give up, it's taking a hard look at the role that YOU have to play in hindering your own growth, it's listening to the things that are hard to hear. It's not easy to admit that YOU are part of the reason you're not feeling your best or doing your best. But the reality of being human is that it's no one else's responsibility but your own to take care of your mental and physical health for the sake of a long, happy life. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we stop getting in our own way- the sooner we see change. This is something I've put such a huge priority on for the last few months, and trust me I know it's not easy. But I promise you it's worth it. Enough excuses. It's your time, babe. - Head to my website if healing your relationship with your body image is something that's in the cards for you this year. 🥺 Let me get you started on your journey.Button -

A huge goal of mine for 2024 is to spend more time shooting and dreaming up creative boudoir sessions ✨🫶🏼 Those of you who have been following me for EVERRRR (I'm talking early Jesse Captures days- drop me a comment if you've been here since then🥲) know that what really got me into photography was the creative portrait side of things. That's how I got most of my shooting practice in the early days. Different settings, pulling together an entire vibe with the set, the outfits, the makeup, the location, the lighting, the props etc. That shit lights my SOUL. ON. FIRE. And I have very much carried that into my boudoir career BUT it's something that I feel I let fall to the side easily with the standard studio session. Which is still creative for me, yes, but not in the same way. So in 2024 I'm leaning back into that more, pushing myself to dream bigger, think outside the box & create more. Allowing myself to bring a spark of an idea to life through this art form I adore so much. THAT BEING SAID, I'm dropping something super fun if you want the chance to create with me to the email list TONIGHT at 6pm💌 (Jan 2nd) You do not want to miss what I have in store 💓🪽🌹🕯️ Shoot me a dm or comment "❤️" for the link to join the email list if you haven't already!

For the past week I've been silently reflecting on 2023, figuring out how to put this year into words. 2023 was without a doubt one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging years of my life but with that came so much growth. So much of 2023 was spent doing things that scared me but to be able to sit back and look at everything that happened this year as a whole- just reaffirms the message I am always sharing, that growth doesn't come from your comfort zone. In 2023 I bought my first house, launched a second business, got a second dog, brought on an assistant and created the best team, I brought on ambassadors, built an even stronger community, shot 230 sessions, raised $4500 for the women's shelter, put more systems in place to give myself better balance, did more self work than years past and really found my groove as an artist. I'm incredibly proud of & passionate about the work I do. But I think my favourite thing to come out of (the tail end) of 2023 was my commitment to myself. To allowing myself to step away more, to give myself more of my time back to do the things that make me feel good. To move and fuel my body for the sake of more energy, better sleep, better mental health & making that a top priority above all else. I hope in 2024, you prioritize yourself too. I hope you say no more. I hope the opinions of others roll off your shoulders a little easier. I hope you spend more time outside of your comfort zone. I hope you take care of your mind & your body. Because you deserve that. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who made 2023 such an incredibly memorable year. To cam for being my rock, to my team for always allowing me to count on them and for being seriously some of my favourite humans (I love you guys🥺), to all the clients who despite being nervous as hell- trusted me to capture your beauty, to everyone who's recommended & shared my work. Thank you✨🫶🏼🖤Button -

REAL 👏🏼 SKIN 👏🏼 HAS 👏🏼 TEXTURE 👏🏼 You may notice when scrolling through my work that you're not seeing plastic looking skin, glass looking eyes and bodies without scars, stretch marks, cellulite etc. I do this intentionally. Could I edit every single little ounce of texture of your skin very easily? Absolutely. But will I? No. And here's why 👇🏼 My approach to boudoir is to show you that you are beautiful exactly as you are. That all the things you nit pick about yourself in the mirror, don't make you ugly. When my clients go through their galleries I want them to NOTICE these things, and then realize that they are still beautiful despite these things. Sure, your first instinct might be to wish that your skin was perfectly smooth or that your stretch marks weren't in your photos. But I strongly believe (and you won't change my mind on this) that intentionally leaving these things in, conditions my clients to look at themselves with kinder eyes. When they see these things they once considered "flaws" they'll remember back to their photos and think SHIT my photos were still gorgeous. Instead of the flip side of that coin where they look at their photos and look in the mirror and think "My photos are only beautiful because my stretch marks, scars cellulite etc are gone" In my opinion that mindset will do way more harm than good long term. Skin texture, cellulite, scars, stretch marks, etc are ALL NORMAL and I strongly believe that the way we start to accept that as a society is to start SHOWING that online. To stop editing those things out and teach women that you are worthy of celebrating regardless of your physical appearance. Because in reality, your physical appearance is the least interesting thing about you.Button -

I specialize with working with everyday women, women who are looking for a life changing confidence boost, to turn a new page when it comes to their relationship with themselves & their body. I take pride in the fact that when you look at my website or any of my socials, you're looking a women from all walks of life. Not models. Real women. When you look in the mirror after this life changing experience, you're not going to see a new woman. You're going to see the same woman that was always there, with the same beauty, the same worth, the same powerful energy. This experience, simply lifts the veil that's been thrown over your eyes and allows you to see what's been there all along. It allows you to work past all the self doubt that's been so deeply ingrained. The self doubt that's been around for so long, you started to think "How could I learn to feel any differently?" The transformation that occurs from having your own boudoir experience is nothing short of absolutely magical.

The most magical part about this experience is that you see yourself from a perspective you never have before. The most common reaction from clients when I show them that first sneak peak on the back of my camera is "HOLY SHIT THAT'S ME?!?!" HELL FREAKING YA THAT'S YOU. It's the you that's always been there. The you that's been the punching bag for all your self doubt and negative talk all the years. The you that deserves to be celebrated. The you that through this experience is going to learn that she's worthy of love, worthy of kindness and worthy of feeling at peace in the skin she's in.Button -

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOUUUUU to a shoot I had quite literally been DREAMING about for YEARS.. You can’t plan shoots like this in advance, when they're meant to happen- they'll happen. I was on my way home from my studio shoot this morning and after 2 days of pushing aside the urge to drop everything and shoot in the fog- it just kept getting thicker and thicker. SOOOOO queen shelby here met me in the forest with 10 minutes notice and FUCKING MAGIC WAS MADEEEEE 😩☁️ I'm so incredibly thankful every damn day that I get to call creating art with incredible humans my job.

Ladies have you joined our VIP Facebook group yet? We called it The Self Love Gym after one of our babes made a post in there a few months ago about how self love is a lot like a muscle. For it to grow, you gotta train it often & I just LOVED that and changed the name instantly. 🥹 It's not necessarily a boudoir related group.. although you do get a TON of behind the scenes that you won't get elsewhere😉 It's more about having a safe space full of women who know what you're going through and are there to support each other- even if they're a complete stranger. I'm so incredibly proud of how active the group is on a daily basis and the incredible community we've built of over 1000 women from all walks of life. 🖤 Ask for advice, (boudoir related or not) share a win or a struggle, share your fire selfies- THE GROUP IS FOR YOUUUUU! 🫶🏼❤️✨ If you're 18+ ¬t a photographer, come hang!!! We'd love to have you!!! Women only 🫶🏼 (If you are a photographer, check out the Babes Behind Boudoir facebook group!) Comment "🪩" and I'll dm you the link to join 🫶🏼Button -

I will seriously never get tired of going along this journey with you. From a completely unbiased, outside perspective it’s an absolutely incredible thing to watch. I can’t help but get giddy over galleries as I’m editing them knowing that my clients are going to be completely blown away at the fact that they’re looking at themselves in these images. The images that they never thought they’d look good in. They did the damn thing. They conquered those nerves, they silenced their inner critic for a brief moment to allow themselves to step back and see beautiful woman that’s been there all along. I’m so incredibly proud of every babe who steps in front of my camera and will forever be honoured to help kick start hundreds of self love journeys!🥹🫶🏼❤️Button -
