Hello,

My name is

Sara

I am your professionally trained and certified boudoir photographer and enthusiast. I fell in love with boudoir the first time I saw a picture of women staring straight into the camera with a hint of knowing smile…. in her underwear. 

 I remember thinking, “ I want that. I want what she has.” 
It wasn’t a certain look or body type. It was an undeniable aura of confidence and self-acceptance. A sense of self-worth that no one could touch. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I became determined to cultivate that reality for myself and the people around me.

THIS is the first step in
self-empowerment.

Let us not forget that the female body was each and every one of our first homes, as well as the first art form and muse, with all it’s wondrous curves, crevices, valleys, and mountains.

I am here to show you that you are a work of art. No matter your shape, size, or age, it is my job and mission to enable you to see yourself the way the world sees you. You are perfect, you are radiant, you are beautiful.

And most important of all,
you are you. 

 
 
 
 

why boudoir

As women, we grow up in a world that constantly bombards us with messages of inadequacy and shame, meant to instill a sense of incompleteness and unworthiness that could be remedied with this or that product. We are overwhelmed with images of unrealistic or unachievable bodies which have been altered and photoshopped to a monochromatic, patriarchal notion of “perfection”. 

We are told that anything that deviates outside of this beauty ideal is not good enough. We are flawed. Our bodies become a source of shame and embarrassment. And what’s more, our very sensuality, our femininity, & our sexuality, has been under relentless attack.
If reading this makes you think “Enough is enough”,
you’ve come to the right place!

Work with me

Most of my clients are understandably nervous at their first shoot. My clients are everyday women with wonderfully diverse bodies, insecurities, and in most cases, limited to no experience of posing in front of a camera. 

Rest assured that you are in great hands.
As a professional photographer I am trained to know how to make you look gorgeous no matter what. I will guide you every step of the way, coaching you through posing, facial expression, and costume selection.

I will always be checking in with you during the shoot to make sure you are feeling comfortable and empowered. No previous modeling experience is necessary. 

I can’t wait to meet you!

 
 
 

THE FEMALE FORM IS NOT BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE IT IS SEXY. 
THE FEMALE FORM IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE IT IS.

IT IS EXQUISITE IN ITS OWN RIGHT.
