Boudoir Portraiture and Fine Art Photography
"TRY APPROVING OF YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS" - Louise HayBoudoir is more than photographs in lingerie. It is a journey. It’s changing the way you think. It’s learning to see the best in everyone. It’s conquering your fears, letting them go and believing in yourself.
"The most important day is the day you decide you're good enough for you. It's the day you set yourself free.” - Britanny Josephina
"If we base our self-worth on something as ever-changing as our bodies, we will forever be on the emotional roller coaster of body obsession and shame.” - Chrissy King
Each life is a journey. Don't let these memories slip away. Your mind can get blurry with time. Yet your photos will always be there, carrying your most precious life moments.
What we do ..
Boudoir
intimate portraiture
"And one day she discovered that she was fierce and strong, and full of fire and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears."
― Mark Anthony
Maternity
mother & baby
"You will never have this day with your children again, tomorrow, they will be a little older than they were today.
This day is a gift. Just breath, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay attention.
Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today.
It will be over before you know it."
― Jen Hatmaker
Artistic Soul
nude fine art
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera.
You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams
Fine Art
Human Form
going solo & couples
“Let someone love you just the way you are... as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”
― Marc Hack
Engagement
surprise engagement & elopements
"See that vibrant smile
on your face
See that lovely loving grace;
Meeting of two beautiful people,
is surely a thing to be happy about in life.
Say it with a big smile,
Say it with words alike,
That everyone is happy with that smile.
Many congrats on getting engaged!"
Wedding
& after wedding
"Until you can’t plainly express your genuine emotions to your adored one, you probably won’t have the option to win his/her heart. A wedding is a phase of life when the sparkles of love cherish the lovers, and angels bless them to spend a beautiful life together forever. As God and the angels bless the newlyweds you can shower love by expressing your feelings through words."
― Anonomous
Lifestyle
solo, couple, family
“Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere.
Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle”
― Sasha Cohen
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
― Morrie Schwartz
Mother & Baby
optional boudoir
“Just as there is no warning for childbirth, there is no preparation for the sight of a first child.
There should be a song for women to sing at this moment or a prayer to recite.
But perhaps there is none because there are no words strong enough to name that moment.”
― Anonomous

Why hire a fine art or boudoir photographer?
Fun, Empowering, Self-Esteem Building & Often Life-Changing ...“I should advise you to put it all down as beautifully as you can – in some beautifully bound book. It will seem as if you were making the visions banal — but then you need to.
Then when these things are in some precious book you can go to the book & turn over the pages & for you it will be … the silent places of your spirit where you will find renewal.
If anyone tells you that it is morbid or neurotic and you listen to them — then you will lose your soul — for in that book is your soul.”

Life-Stories is What We Do
"TRY APPROVING OF YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS" - Louise Hay
"Nude vulnerability between a couple, is ...
Here I am, my scars, my secrets, my fears, my affection –
they are precious.
I bring it to you –
let us live with our hearts”
Midge from Asna-Art
“Photographs allow for connections to be made and for time to pause - to appreciate all the world has to offer.”
Dustin Thibideau
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on film is captured forever…
It remembers little things,
long after you have forgotten everything.”
Aaron Siskind

from "Love After Love" by Derek Walcott ...
The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say:
"Sit here. Eat."
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
"Give wine. Give Bread."
Give back your heart to itself,
to the stranger who has loved you all your life
whom you ignored for another,
who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your image from the mirror.
"Sit. Feast on your life."
