Hey girl, hey! Whether you've been considering boudoir for months, years, or you stumbled upon my website through magical forces that are NOW making you think of boudoir, I'm glad you're here. Can't wait to meet you! 

A few things about me: 

  • I started boudoir photography 20 years ago. Before it had a name. We just called it "fine art nudes" or "sexy photos" ;) 
  • My work has been in juried art shows, magazines, and billboards. But my favorite place is on your wall! Where you get to walk by it every day and give yourself a second look. And be like..."DAAAAMN Girl, you are one hot, bad*ss b*tch. Get it!"
  • I'm a mom to a cool little dude that loves music, dancing, and taking shit apart and recreating it in his own way. 
  • I am a published and international award-winning fashion, portrait and boudoir photographer. 
  • I've had a camera in my hand since I was 15 and now I'm 41! When the F did that happen!? 
  • I wanted to be a pole dancer at 18 but my religious upbringing scared me away. I now have a dance pole in my studio and it's a blast! 
  • AND, my amazing mom - who's a Chaplain - is STILL my biggest cheerleader. And very supportive of my art. She tells people I use my gifts to make people feel beauiful and she's so proud of me! :) 



I love me, my life, and my pole. And it feels SO GOOD not to worry about what anyone thinks about that. I can't wait for you to experience the power of a libering photoshoot! I feel on top of the world everytime I shoot one! 


About the artist

Fact 1 | I was born in Dallas, Texas and grew up in Oregon from age 4 to 18. I've lived in 5 states. Went to 4 grade schools, 1 middle school and 3 high schools. 

Fact 2 | I worked at Glamour Shots almost 20 years ago! It was basically boudoir - I worked in a military town during a time of war and lots of women were sending "sexy" photos to their men overseas. 

Fact 3 | The outdoors is my happy place. I feel the most at peace, the most myself, the most connected to the universe, when I'm outside in nature.
