Stepping In Front of the Lens: Why I Photograph Myself
As a boudoir photographer, I spend most of my time behind the camera encouraging other women to be bold, take up space, and see their beauty through my lens. But every now and then, I have to remind myself of something important:
I need that reminder too.
So I photograph myself.
Not because I always feel my best. Not because everything in my life feels perfectly aligned. But because I need to reconnect with the woman I am outside of the chaos, the to-do lists, and the everyday hustle. Because confidence isn’t something you have or don’t have - it’s something you practice.
And standing in front of the camera is one of the most powerful ways I know to practice that.
I talk all the time about how transformative a boudoir session can be - how healing it is to see yourself fully, without filters or judgment. So it only feels right to walk the walk and step into the light myself sometimes. And honestly? It was uncomfortable at first. But then… it was freeing.
Photographing myself reminds me of everything I want my clients to feel:
That you can be powerful and soft at the same time.
That your body is worthy of being seen and celebrated.
That confidence isn’t a look - it’s a choice.
These photos aren't just for marketing. They're for me. They're my way of practicing what I preach and holding myself accountable to feel what I want my clients to feel.
If you're on the fence about booking your own boudoir session - I get it. I’ve been there. But I promise, you won’t regret choosing to show up for yourself.
Want to experience this kind of confidence for yourself?
Let’s create something bold, beautiful, and real - together.
