I am a wife, mom to six kids, a lefty, a photographer. We have six kids that are ten and under. (One big brother to five little sisters!)

I am redefining SEXY!

During my pregnancy, and really through out the postpartum phases of my life I really desired to feel good about my body. Pregnant or not. I just wanted to feel sexy, confident and beautiful. I wanted how I felt on the inside to match what I looked like outside. But my reflection in the mirror didn't match how I felt. In fact, I didn't even recognize the woman staring back at me. After a maternity photo shoot of my sixth and final pregnancy I saw myself for the first time as beautiful, sexy and gorgeous. I felt like I was walking on air!

As the last days of my final pregnancy passed, and our last baby was born I realized that I wanted to feel beautiful like I did in those maternity photos.

I also realized there were other women that felt exactly the same way I was feeling. Whether they had babies or not. So, after almost 20 years of putting my 'creative' artist/photographer to the side. I found my passion was renewed! So, I bought myself my new camera.

I use my camera to make other women feel gorgeous and sexy.

I love what I do, and do what I love.

Celebrate your Sexy Curves!

Celebrate your sexy curves! 


If you've got curves, flaunt them! Sexy is a state of mind don't you know!!! Do you think because you have extra curves that a boudoir session is not for you...THINK AGAIN! 

From the thank you notes, to conversations with clients. I know that by taking the time for boudoir session just for you can be good for your state of mind! And the way you picture yourself. A session can help you to see yourself in a whole new light! Many clients say to me...I didn't realize I look that good! I am beautiful! I am sexy! I didn't think I could look this way. 

But you can! 

 What I have figured out over the years is that it doesn't matter what size your body is! Confidence comes from within. Beauty is also in a look that only you can give, or a smile that only you can give. Or that confident speaking voice. Or your giggle, that is infectious.

Sexy doesn't have anything to do with your body size. Whether you be slim, or curvy. That sexy comes from within. 

So on this Friday, I sure hope you celebrate the authentic you!

Because you are gorgeous, sexy and beautiful! Now WORK IT!

Props to you!







Since the introduction to my 'Tickle Trunk' awhile back, I have been receiving regular additions to my collection of props. I think that almost every session, a client has used their prop...and then passed it on to me. So, I have to say my collection is growing by leaps and bounds! I love it! 

So, when when it is your turn for a session, be sure to take a look in the tickle trunk! You will never know until you take a look! Amazing stuff I tell you!

Thank you wonderful clients! You never cease to amaze me with your beauty, and gifts. 


Props to you!

Let the sunshine in

Well, I have to say this West Coast rain is getting me down. For two days straight I (along with my husband) have had sick kids. By sick kids, I mean a throw up tummy bug.  And when you have six kids, the throw up runs through the house very quickly. So far we have had 5/6 kids throwing up...

Anyways enough about that :D

I miss the sunshine. Lately our weather has been blustery, cold  and wet. I almost blew away with my big yellow and white umbrella.

After a wet walk to school and back, I had a telephone chat with a friend today, Carol. We were talking and after I hung up I was reminded of the lovely sun-filled session with B above. I could almost feel the sunshine from that day. I love that about photography. How a photo can help me remember back. 

To update, I am working on finishing up my latest sessions, and I *hopefully* will be doing a session on Saturday. I just need to know that I will be healthy and not pass on the germs etc. I am delivering two finished sessions tomorrow morning. And, I am finishing up one more.  I also booked in another rush session for early next year for a 40th birthday surprise! That will be great!

I am really looking forward to the new year, and getting some great packages going for my boudoir sessions in the spring! I am also going to get going on my boudoir site. Just hashing out some details for now. But, I think the site is worth the wait! So exciting!

On a totally different note all together, I think the photo above proves why make up and false eyelashes make the photo that much more dramatic! LOVE false eyelashes. So, if you are booked with me, or considering booking I hope the proof is in the pudding! Look at the drama of those eyes! Wow! Send me an email for more details if you wish. Contact information is on the side of my blog site.

So, have a happy Wednesday! May sunshine be your state of mind today if you have rainy weather like us.

Sneak Peek - Bringing Curvy Back!




These images were captured this afternoon, and this was my third and final session of the day. It was a great day, with three wonderful women, three different shapes and sizes. I feel that beauty is something that shines from within, and I love being able to be the one to capture each woman as they are. Just as they are. 

I just have to say! Celebrate your curves, celebrate who you are today, and learn to appreciate your sexy curves! I had the opportunity today to photograph this beautiful plus size woman. At first she was nervous, but as the session went on, the nerves went away! I think she is just gorgeous! 

If you are plus sized, you have great curves. If you have thought maybe boudoir photography is not for you, then think again! 

Boudoir photography is for EVERY woman. 

Enjoy your sneak peek R!

2 a T - Sneak Peek



These images, are from the second of three sessions today. Although it was cold, wet and grey outside...

 The temperature was rising inside the boudoir today! We had a great double session, as she brought along her friend and they both had fun. Bring a friend along! (or your sister!) Great for moral support if you feel a bit nervous, and really fun to shop together for your sessions!  Definitely a great way to have some fun, and pamper yourselves. Celebrate!

It was lovely to meet you.

Sneak Peek - Karen




Today, I was busy with three different boudoir sessions. This is the first session of three.

I had the pleasure of taking Karen's boudoir photos this morning, and I have to say she made my job easy today! She is so beautiful, both inside and out. I loved how she could channel her inner 'Top Model!' 
Way to go!

Thank you for adding to my tickle trunk! That tulle is going to come in very useful in my coming sessions.

Enjoy!
