- It's a Pleasure to Meet You -
Picture this: a camera in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other (because let's face it, caffeine is the real MVP), and a constant look of "What was it should I be doing right now?" on my face. Yep, that's me, your caffeine addicted and chaotic minded photographer.
Central Kentucky has been home for most of my life and let me tell you, there's really nothing quite like living in the Bluegrass. From Red River Gorge(ous) and beautiful horse parks and waterfalls, to bourbon trails and amazing rolling hills, Kentucky gives you so many opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. It's almost impossible to not find an adventure. My own adventure began when i was only 7 years old and discovered how much I LOVED taking photos with my mom's camera. I took photos of my family, the trees, the creeks, even my own feet if I just wanted to play. My vision then was the same as it is now; to create beautiful art and tell as many stories as possible.
In my 15+ years of story telling, I have found that boudoir & wedding photography are what I was born to do. These niches bring out such true emotion in people and there's nothing better than telling someone's story when they feel their truest selves, regardless of their shape, size, or gender. Authenticity is incredibly important to me, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all of my clients. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feelin' yo'self! They always say "a picture is worth a thousand words", but I like to think my art can tell entire novels... with a few really cheesy jokes thrown in for good measure. What more could I even ask for?
When I'm not working behind the lens, you can find me learning new homesteading skills like canning and bread making, snuggling and watching Disney movies or trying to convince my dog and cat that they need to let me cuddle them for as long as I want. They tend to think they have a right to deny my snuggles since they live here rent free. (How dare they am I right? Haha!) Outside of photography, these are the absolute best parts of my life. It's the simple pleasures that bring me so much joy, ya' know?
Being a boudoir photographer is something I feel like I was BORN to do. My passion about helping others feel confident and empowered grows daily, especially in the society we live in continuously pressuring us to fit in such a tiny box. Well, FUCK what society has to say about us and how we live our lives, right? Our differences make us unique and beautiful, and I believe that anyone and any body should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin. Why should we hide our hotness just because we aren't what YOU think is what we should be like? Boudoir photography can be an amazing tool for achieving a sense of self appreciation and I am honored to be able to help people realize that being themselves as they are is enough.
Whether you're looking to capture your own story through photographs or just want to swap tales about life, I'm your gal! I would be honored to create some memories together—ones that'll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even remind you that you are a strong and unstoppable being.
Now, go have some coffee (or tea if you'd rather), eat a street taco, and start loving ourselves a little more every day, shall we? I'm ready for you, so call me for your next adventure.
