Aside from the obvious physical manifestations etched into the skin, we all have scars we carry. Sometimes, they’re buried deep in our psyche, like wounds that we carry quietly. It’s there in the quiet, dark scars that often shape who we are as individuals. The scars we all carry can sometimes stand between our desire […]

I caught myself in the middle of one of my favorite ways to waste time, lingerie shopping. I was scrolling my favorite lingerie website, www.playfulpromises.com because they had dropped a sales email into my inbox that offered a free panty when the matching bra was purchased.

Sometimes we rush and sometimes we wait. There are times being impulsive pays off in big ways even for small moves.

My own relationship with Boudoir Photography Pittsburgh changes every […]

When we went into lockdown, there were fantastic and unexpected benefits for me. I was able to clean out my closets. Whittle down my stack of papers that gets taller everyday.

This is a collaboration between yourself and I. All you need to do is show up and trust me to deliver our best work.

One of the first questions we get asked is if we have a makeup artist.

When you have a boudoir session with me, one of the first things we’ll discuss is your privacy. Some women prefer to have zero images shared anywhere. Some are OK with me posting to a private and secure group online for other clients to see, and some don’t mind having their images shown on my Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or Website.

Did you know I have a referral program for boudoir sessions? When you refer a friend, and they schedule with us, you will both receive $100 product credit. Yes, you read that right! Take this as my way of saying thank you. So if you’ refer ten friends…you do the math!

If you’ve not eaten you can’t hear me and you can comprehend what I’ve asked you to do. if you can’t follow and be coached because your brain is busy trying to figure out where the fuck the famine came from, I could very well ask you to go home. Couple some booze on a totally empty stomach and you’ve just wasted your money and my time. (Yes, I sound like an asshole but I am the expert and you chose me because I know how to make your session fire as hell, let’s not blow it because we are afraid of a banana.)
