I will walk you through the process from start to finish here on the blog, but also throughout the actual process of scheduling, wardrobe, shooting, purchasing products and even receiving them.
Read MoreThis is my F A V O R I T E time of year! I love pumpkin spice lattes, bonfires, football, and getting dressed up! I've even been known to tour every halloween store in the county just to look at the selection of costumes and decorations. Recently, I've overheard in stores, or seen articles in the media about women's costumes being sexist. So as a boudoir photographer whose mission it is to empower women to be themselves in any situation, there are a few things I think you should know about sexy halloween costumes.
Read MoreThis relationship must be getting serious... because I made you a mixtape. Music is such an influential part of my own life, and that's no different for a boudoir session. The music played in my Columbus boudoir studio can make or break the vibe.
Read MoreThe number one question I get asked is "How do I prepare for my session?" or "What do I do?"
I always want my girls to be prepared and so I offer consultation, a lingerie guide and a packing list to help ease some stress. But today I wanted to kind of delve a little deeper in the to-do or to-not-do.
Read MoreI am starting a new series here on the blog, #stripped. As a boudoir photographer I see women when they are so vulnerable, nude even. A lot of times women will share with me reasons why they want to do a session and sometimes those reasons run deep. In this series, I will be sharing with you their stories, told by them in the real and raw words of their reality.

Read MoreHi Beautiful! Have you ever considered being a 614 Boudoir Bombshell? Well now is your chance. I am currently running a model call, where women have a chance to be a model for the day, even without prior experience. In fact I prefer you have zero experience. I only offer these model calls 2-3 times a year and I can only take a few girls each time, but for those who model, it is a rewarding experience.

Read MoreGrowing up, I had really awesome self esteem. I was the chubby kid too which you would think would have held me back, but I was active [I danced until 12, marched in the band in high school] I took a foreign language, and I liked school. I had a lot of versatile friends that kept me cultured. I was smart and happy. My mom always called me a social butterfly. And then something happened.
Read MoreOn Thursday I did a scope [On periscope? Follow me @614boudoir] about daily affirmations, however I did my video from the park, and the wind was so bad you could barely hear me. Not to mention periscopes are only available for 24 hours. So I decided to write out a blog post that could be referred back to many times.

Read MoreBekka and I met in the summer of 2015 to discuss her possibly scheduling a boudoir session, but the timing just wasn't right for her and that was okay. But now...I think MAN! So glad she waited! For one, I could just tell that her confidence had changed; and also- I won't lie my skills have vastly improved in the past year.

Read MoreAmanda has such an incredible spirit that carried into her boudoir session with ease. As a dancer, she showed grace and emotion to the lens. The idea behind this session was to be sensual, artistic, and subtly sexy. I think we achieved that.
