Greater Cincinnati's premier luxury boudoir experience was created to celebrate and lift up the everyday woman! From CEO of your household to the CEO of your business, and all REAL women in between. Be Brave Be You Boudoir wants to pamper you for a day and remind you of your worth, purpose, and beauty that radiates from within you. The jaw dropping photos of yourself will simply serve as a reminder of the day you learned being yourself is the bravest thing you will ever do. God makes no mistakes so let's join forces in peeling back the layers of lies society has told you along the way. AND bonus...don't be surprised when this also reignites a passionate flame in your marriage ;-)
BE BRAVE BE YOU!
Do you feel pressured to fit into the world’s idea of perfection? The truth is, you are already perfect in the eye of the One who created you. Every curve, every line, every part of you was beautifully and wonderfully made inside & out. Do you find yourself chasing after ways to change the body God gave you or feeling like you just aren't enough as is? So did every women featured in the images above, and nearly every woman I know. You are not alone. How do you feel looking through these images? Are you picking apart their flaws? Are you focusing on their wrinkles, or thinking they needed to lose another 20 lbs before doing their shoot? I would be willing to bet you didn't do any of those things. Instead, you noticed how stunningly gorgeous they are. AND so did they! They walked through my door self-conscious and nervous, and left confident and bold. There is an unexpected power in boudoir. This type of photography can melt away decades of lies you have allowed yourself to believe by comparing yourself to the unattainable and fake images Hollywood and social media showcases.
Are you aware that 86% of people admit they don't put their real lives on social media? What exactly are we seeing that is real then? From filters to fake lives and omitting all of the "ugly", we are comparing ourselves to things that just plain aren't real. It is my mission to educate and bring light to this fact because from a photographer's perspective, I have had a front row seat to witness how this has started dramatically impacting how women view themselves. It has been incredibly disturbing and heartbreaking. What I once thought was just isolated to teenagers addicted to social media has now become wide spread warping our self perception, which in turn is warping our self-worth.
Do you want to know what IS real? YOU and all of the women featured on my page. Do you want to be part of a movement that takes back the truth? The only difference between you and the ladies featured on my page is that they were brave enough to take the next step. Are you ready to be brave? If so, check out the two experiences below and then you can contact me to chat more or to get booked on my calendar. This can be a scary next step for some so I am just a phone call away to help you talk through this decision.

FAQ
What is the difference between BEAUTY and BOUDOIR?
BEAUTY can be just about anything you want it to be to help you feel radiant or capture your true beauty at your current stage in life. You may want that to entail business attire to embrace your inner boss babe or lean into your cinderella fairytale. This or whatever most suits you.
When paired with boudoir, I envision it is a sexy little dress, formal gown, jeans and t-shirt, or maybe a cozy sweater?? We capture images that can be shared publicly. Then we move into peeling back the layers to reveal your even more sexier side.
What if I don't see samples that encompass the vibe or type of session I am going for?
I limit what I put up on my webpage to protect the privacy of my clients so it could just be for that reason. However, I am always looking to expand my portfolio. I am up for trying new things so reach out and just ask. There are a few things I steer away from but I have other photographers I can refer you to if that is the case.
Do I have to get fully nude?
Nope! I personally lean more on the side of "leave something to the imagination," but we discuss whatever level you are most comfortable with.
Will my photos be posted on your website?
No images are posted without client permission. Most clients give permission for anything that doesn't reveal their face and images that don't reveal too much. I also choose not to post particularly revealing images to my webpage to keep it semi-PG. lol.
How far out should I book?
I would book out no sooner than 2 months. This gives you time to explore Pinterest for the vibe you are going for and lingerie. Often lingerie can take longer to arrive and may not look the way you envisioned. This gives you time to work out any kinks in your plan. However, if you have outfits and you know your vibe, I could get you booked in as little as two weeks out.
How does the same day image reveal work?
This is only available with the Boutique Experience. We would have you start hair and makeup around 8-9. We would shoot until no later than 2:30, depending on start time. You would run off for a bite to eat or to kill about 1.5 hours. I would have your images ready for your viewing upon your return. Expect about a 1 hour selection process.
What is in your client closet?
I have limited lingerie pieces in my client closet but I continue to add to it with each booked boutique experience, which means I may add a piece for you if I don't have something that suits you. You can view pieces in the closet on this page. Look for that section. Most pieces fit small to large. You would want to bring your own hose/thigh highs/fishnets and underwear.
I also have a variety of gowns in a variety of sizes if you want to explore those for the "beauty" portion of your session.
