I turned 52 in 2023.

My life has been full! Battling with weight loss. Imposter syndrome. Fear of failure. Guilt and self-doubt. It’s hard to watch my body age with wrinkles and lines beneath the surface (that’s also me in the photo below).

This is what I’ve learned. When something *big* happens in women’s lives, they reach out to me. Because my portrait sessions give them something back. A fresh start. Now it’s about being who they want to be.

In 2023, I invite all women to empower themselves through beauty and boudoir portrait experiences.

Women who don’t define themselves by their age or experience.

Women who want to be bold. Trans women in love. Women who have loved (and lost). Women waiting for life to begin. Women who walk away from pain. Women who battle their demons (and are proud of their scars). Women who celebrate their imperfections.

Women who need fresh starts.

Change how people perceive you.

Women take on so many roles throughout their lives. Daughters. Sisters. Aunts. Grandmothers. Caregiver. Friend. Confidant. Buddy. Mentor. Educator. Nurse.

We never stop putting other people’s needs before our own. Sometimes it’s hard to remember who we once were.

So I invite you to make 2023 your time to shine.

Brush off the dust that has settled over your soul, the part you hide from others (& maybe yourself too).

It’s time to rise, like a phoenix, with confidence showing the world, “this is me!”
