This magical group of women recently booked a spicy selfie class with me and we had the most fun! Their laughter, and encouragement of each other, was just such a treat to be a part of!
WHAT DOES A SPICY SELFIE CLASS ENTAIL, YOU MIGHT ASK? I’VE GOT THE ANSWERS!
During your class with me you will….
This bombshell of a human is a dear friend of mine, and she recently came into the studio to be my muse for the day! I just love the art we created together! I love how fiery and bold these are, while still having fine art elements to them, as well as softness and empowerment.
Capturing someone unapologetically embodying themselves is something so powerful, and I’m continuously in awe of witnessing it.
This beautiful human booked a boudoir session with me recently, and one of the inspirations for having a session came from the advice of the fabulous Moira Rose on Schitts Creek. This wise woman said:
“Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"
This beautiful human reached out to me recently to book a session to creatively explore and express her struggles with mental illness. We collaborated to find ways to visually express the feelings she carries. I'm so thankful for her trust in me through the process, and I’m so in love with the art we created.
Get some of your favorite people together and come have some fun at my East Nashville studio and learn all about how to up your spicy selfie game! It’s time to be your own muse!
Radical self-love is something that I’m always a proponent of, however it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or even inadequate when trying to embrace this concept fully. The journey to self-love can indeed feel like a monumental task at times, leaving many of us wondering if there's an alternative route to self-acceptance. When self-love feels too big or insurmountable, you can try self-kindness instead!
A bridal boudoir session is not just a photoshoot; it's a celebration of your individuality, a declaration of self-love, and a testament to the connection you and your soon-to-be spouse share. By embracing empowerment through vulnerability, you're not only gifting your partner with a beautiful set of photographs but you are also gifting yourself with a deeper understanding of your own sensuality, strength, and self-worth!
Just as flowers bring joy and inspiration to the world, individuals who have bloomed into their own unique beauty can have a profound impact on those around them. We can inspire others through our authenticity, resilience, and the way we embrace our individuality. Our blossoming serves as a reminder that each person has their own journey, their own gifts, and their own path to traverse. This group empowerment session around these ideas was absolutely magical!
Let's talk about finding joy in the beautiful vessel that carries us through life – our bodies! It's so easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to the past or chasing after an idealized version of who we used to be. I’ve done this my whole life - comparing myself and my body now to past (younger/thiner/etc) versions of it. But you know what? Right here, right now, is where our true power lies – in the present moment! I’m so ready to break that cycle, and I hope you are too.
When we don't regularly see ourselves, especially through kind eyes, we forget what we look like currently. Then when we see an older photo of us, we instantly notice all the differences. We begin comparing ourselves and how our body looks now with how we used to look. We stop wanting to be in photos because we don't want to be reminded of that. We stop looking in the mirror as much. Our mindset shifts and we start internalizing all of our perceived flaws. BUT, we can slowly shift this and reassure ourselves that we are safe and it is ok and natural to change, and our bodies will... because how could you go through this life and all the adventures, love, grief, and evolution without our bodies changing along with us? It's the nature of being alive.
