I love Boudoir for the fact it is simple yet very classy. My client rocked her session and was so confident while doing so. We all had a fabulous time creating these awesome poses and working with one another to get that perfect pose just right. I even went as far to sit on a toilet to snap the right angel for a certain pose. Hey, you got to do what you got to do!
I was so lucky to be able to rent out a room at Rixey Manor during my Boudoir Marathon. Rixey Manor was seriously the perfect place to bring to life all my ideas and also make my clients feel comfortable and welcomed. Which is very important!

Meet Jamie, She is one my best friends sister whom I have known for almost 12 years! She has watch me grown from a bratty high school freshman to a mother of two gorgeous girls. Me and Jamie did some Boudoir down by the River back in 2013 and couldn’t get enough of my work so she booked again with me at the Rixey Manor Boudoir Mini’s.
Jame is confident in her own skin. You can see that through her posing and beautiful smile. We work together to calibrate outfits, ideas, poses and more to make her session perfect in every way! She did an amazing job and I am so thrilled to share these images with you
This BY far some of my favorite Boudoir images I have taken in the almost 4 years of doing photography. My lovely client J, was such a doll to work with and to be honest she was nervous throughout most of her session BUT you could NEVER tell because she has a great poker face 😉
I was so happy when she contacted me and we began speaking about her session and what she had plans for it. She purchase a lovely little black book to give to her other half for Christmas. I had blast working with her and so did she. The girl time talking with the hair and make up girls and just getting to know each other better was so much fun before we jump into the MORE fun stuff! We shoot this session as Rixey Manor during my Mini Marathon Session back in December.

This fabulous chick came to me all the way from Richmond! We went to school together (so I cheated a little ;-D)
Emily was such a fun and outgoing person. I mean anyone who meets her is going to fall in love with her. I had a fun and neat idea that I had her and 2 other ladies help me bring to life. These ladies are a true jem because they allow me to build up my portfolio for an edgy feel. I always want to try and do something different and stand out and Emily REALLY let me capture her in just that way. We were able to use an old house as a backdrop and also shoot outdoors near the location. This really allowed her to have a verity in backgrounds and different options for posing and what not. BUT she rocked every single pose, every single idea like a true model. You can see her confident throughout the entire gallery in which I wanted to capture because I feel that is so important to have when doing a boudoir session but it isn’t a must. I just find a women who loves her body and is brave enough to lay in the grass in November is truly one amazing person no doubt.
This year has been over the top the best year out of all three years of doing this as “hobby/business”. I am extremely proud of myself of on how much my talent has grown from the start to now. Photography is a learning career choice. You NEVER stop learning and you will never know it all. You are always researching, buying and pursing to better yourself. I love the challenge photography gives me and the ability to learn every time I snap a picture. It’s nothing like the jobs I have had before where you sit a desk and do nothing important for 8 hours of the day. Now I sit at my desk and create work that brings so much joy to my clients and of course myself!

It all started with just a simple point and shoot camera back in 2003 when I was in high school. I took many pictures before then but never really enjoyed it until I was much older. I would snap pictures of everything from the sunset, to birds flying, to lakes, rivers and beach sides. It didn’t matter what I was taking pictures of but I was snapping away freely and in my own world. It wasn’t until my parents purchase my first DSLR camera for me one Christmas that I began to realize how much I truly enjoyed taking pictures. My passion soon turned into people contacting me for pictures and wanted me to capture their memories. I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I had no idea about ISO or Shutter speed and Aperture. I shot in auto mode and had no idea how to use white balance. Today I have learned to use all those amazing settings to be able to create work of art that are timeless.

I look back at where I started and look at where I am now and I can truly say that I have grown in my ability to create some amazing work but my artist eye has always been there.
Along this journey I have met some WONDERFUL clients who I can say are some of my greatest friends and biggest fans. I have been blessed beyond words on that amount of wonderful returning clients I have had over the past 3 years. They have trusted me over and over again to capture countless memories. They will never know the joy that surrounds me when they contact me each year. It’s like I want to do the sound of music dance on a mountain top and sing! ( I know that is crazy but it’s how I feel)

These are just a couple snap shots of what client’s are saying! I really enjoy reading these reviews and comments towards me. To be honest I cry like a baby and smile with tears rolling down my face. Theses words help me by knowing I am not only giving you the best in my work but the best in service too! I love hearing feedback ways to improve and things to keep doing to help make custom photography about the client. <3
The ongoing support from my fans, clients and family PLUS friends have been amazing and truly heartwarming. I hope to continue to grow and learn more to be able to better serve my clients.
