the art of saying f*ck it

the world feels very scary and tumultuous lately

a lot of artists and photographers I know survived the panini by the skin of our pants

only to be thrust into an uncertain and strange time afterwards

it constantly feels like the ground may be ripped out from us at any time

and in response

i am learning the art of saying f*ck it

to resting, when rest calls

to embracing all the small moments of joy when they come

saying f*ck it to turning off my p...

the art of getting the f*ck in front of the camera (even when you don't want to)

I'm going to be real honest with you all for a second:

I've been hiding.

I've been avoiding getting in front of the camera,

avoiding self portrait sessions,

avoiding the practice I have spent so long cultivating.

I have been hiding from observing myself and facing the work that comes along with it.

I know that is an act of self preservation.

I know that the growth comes from the squidy feelings, 

from staring at the discomfort an...

Hot Tip Tuesday: Less [posing] is more!

Happy Tuesday babes!

I am baaack with a hot tip for you this week. And today's hot tip is about posing (either with your boudoir clients OR in your selfies). And it is:

👏 LESS IS MORE 👏

I know we want to get THE shot – and we often think the MORE posing we do the more our clients will like/buy, or the more we will like our self portraits. 

But I invite you not to think of how MANY more poses you can fit in...

Vegas Selfies & Musings 🪞

Ok first things first – I blame this bath tub for 100% of my hyper fixation on getting a claw foot tub for the studio back home. We didn't even fill it up with water but I am OBSESSED with the posing possibilities this tub offered. 

Vegas was such a trip, I'm still reeling from the magic of that week. This selfie session definitely felt like a challenge – I was incredibly tired, burnt out, and my camera was acting up and giving me grief during the session. ...

STOP THINKING OF LIGHTING AND POSING AS SEPARATE ENTITIES!

We often see courses for "lighting" and workshops for "posing" (also guilty of separating this two for content ease), but when shooting your clients you need to think of the two in RELATION to...

Neon Editorial Boudoir Behind The Scenes | FULL Length

Hello my loves!

I've received a lot of requests to post a full length video working with a model so you can see the flow we do. I normally speed up the videos and add over music because we just end up chatting neurodivergent gibberish, but instead this month I'm letting you see fully behind the curtain into how weird and silly we are! 

And of course, the creative process and flow that goes into working with models.

✍️ reflection prompts for a new quarter ✍️

Hello my loves!

Today I wanted to chat a little bit about 3 questions I like to ask myself at the beginning of each year, and now I'm starting to even reflect on these 3 things at the beginning of each quarter.

I fully believe that having a firm answer to each of these questions will help you show up better in your marketing, online presence, and speak more clearly to your ideal target audience!
