Throughout my life from a very young age I experienced psychological, emotional and verbal abuse. My mom, my sister and I were constantly made to feel inadequate by being compared to other females. We were always talked down to and treated as if we were the problem. I was shamed on countless occasions as to why I never measured up to my friends or random people. Anytime I was ever my authentic self I was made fun of, degraded or told to "knock it off" or simply shot a look that made your insides curl up and die. The amount of emotional damage and trauma from that left me to believe I would never find someone who appreciated me or my body the way I am. I was taught to do what was asked of me or I wouldn't get love, care, attention or affection. Love was conditional. As time went on, I became severely self critical, self sabotaged my mindset, couldn't take a compliment, the list goes on. I have gone through therapy (still do), do a lot of self discovery and acts of self care to re-train my brain that what I was taught is not true. Once I did my first boudoir session myself I was hooked. It made me feel better about myself than I had ever felt in my entire life. I took back my power. That bullshit I was fed was no longer being entertained in my world. 



My goal in doing boudoir is to lead you to body acceptance. You may not "love" your acne, your cellulite, your stretch marks, the number on your clothes or even those damn bags under your eyes but knowing that our bodies deserve respect and adoration whether they fit society's mold or not is what matters. That is what I'm here for!    

A little about me personally, I'm an Army & LEO wife and a dog mom to two crazy boys! My husband and I have been together for almost 10 years. I'm sassy, weird/quirky, loud and have vocabulary/mind that would make a sailor blush. Your vibe attracts your tribe as they say. So we joke, we shake our butts and sing like no ones watching and we cuss, A LOT ;) 

While I live in Colorado, I much prefer the beach, boat trips and sand dunes. I would rather be tanning, swimming, BBQing year round and riding ATVs than be in the snow and cold. You will come to learn that summer is my favorite season and I LOATHE winter time. My goal is to be a "snowbird" by the time I'm 30!
