Hi! I am a local Seattle photographer who loves to bring out the fun and beauty in people. I have been a wedding and portrait photographer for over 5 years, documenting and telling the stories of my clients lives through images, and in 2010 I became interested in boudoir shoots.
I love working with people and helping make them feel beautiful in their own skin, so when some clients expressed interest in boudoir sessions, I decided to give it a try, not sure of what I would think at first.
It is a hard thing for a women to take off much of her clothes and stand in front of a person holding a camera and be able to relax and bring out their inner diva. And it is no easy task to be that photographer, knowing that this person is trusting for you to see them in their best light and show them how amazingly beautiful they are!
So, when I had 5 ladies sign up for my first marathon event and totally embrace their bodies and have a great time during the shoot, I realized what a gift boudoir shoots are. I have the power to help show women, who might not fit into the size 0 model physique that advertising pushes down our throats, see how amazing and beautiful they are inside and out! And, they walk away with proof of how beautiful they are to help remind themselves when they need it.
While most clients have chosen to do the shoot for a partner, time and time again, I hear feedback about the self esteem boost they themselves get every time they look at their pictures.
We are all different shapes and sizes and it is time we recognize that as beautiful!
