Four years ago, I was approached by a client to take her boudoir photos. I blushed, not knowing what to say or how to react – immediately thinking this was such a provocative request (and one I would never do) I myself was the opposite of sexy, why would she ask me? How could I […]

There is something oh so special + intimate about getting to capture first moments together as a family for my clients – getting to see them love on each other so fiercely, seeing them start this new part of their new adventure together.
