I have been obsessed with Boudior since a young age. I admired vintage pin up like Betty Paige even though it was more taboo back then. When I was about 19-21 years of age in the 90's in Miami Beach, I had my very own boudior sessions with photographers that were in Miami for the modeling agencies. I will post some of those images below. Being insecure, the images made me feel beautiful and more secure with myself. They were a validation that I was pretty.

Turning 40 was a transformational time in my life to say the least. Wow, looking back (I am now 56,) how has it even been 16 years? I remember when the realization hit me that my body was changing; I had to eat less and exercise more for the first time, in. my. life. I had to start making different choices on so many levels. How did that even happen? I was having a hard time even recognizing and embracing the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I met the love of my life at a friend’s 40^th birthday party and at 42 was married and became a wife and mom. I opened my heart, my world to my husband and his family and in turn, his support. 

I gave myself permission to start finding things that I loved about my evolving body and these newfound experiences of being a wife and a mom. In the past, I was so laser focused on my photography business and now I was able to open my heart and my world to my husband and his family who is so supportive of me. Suddenly, I was free to start sharing with my clients what incredible goddesses they are. I realized it was because I was that mirror for them. I could care for them, hold space, pamper them and reflect back to them their inner and outer beauty through my work as a Portrait Photographer. If I could have a conversation with my 40 year old self, I would simply say “it is OKAY, in fact everything works out. Everything is lining up for you in ways you never could have dreamed…” and when I think about that woman I was; experiencing all of the shame and the fear of her journey and her body, her spirit, and her heart it makes me remember that I could have used a beacon of light in that tunnel. Even a ray of hope and that is what I want to create today for you.

Recently, I had my own Boudior session at 56 years young. I wanted to experience what my clients are experiencing and so glad I did. I felt sexy, beautiful and empowered. Oh and by the way if you want to loose that ten pounds, all you have to do is book a boudior session for motivation. LOL, it really works. I am looking forward to doing my own boudior session once a year to celebrate and honor myself.

I want to pamper you and celebrate you. You deserve it!
