Before & After - A Look into Self Love and the Power of Confidence | Phoenix Boudoir Photographer
A woman is most beautiful when she feels sexy. When she is confident. When everything she has endured, witnessed, and dreamed about becomes less of an abstract thought and more of an awakening of the soul. When she feeds her wild and pursues the things that liberate her- a courageous act that is a breeding ground for self love.

When Brenda came to me requesting a shoot, she shared her story and I knew she was just the type of woman Id love to have in the studio. She is a wanderer, a lover of nature and exploration, and possesses the kind of beauty that is undeniably authentic. While I don't know her personally it is clear that she believes that women are not something to be looked at or exploited but something to be admired. We have been given this incredible gift to nurture, to captivate, to demonstrate kindness each and everyday. And, that can be so incredibly powerful.
As a boudoir photographer I believe this is about empowering women and giving you the permission to be fabulous, to embrace your identity, and reveal a side of yourself that is sexy, powerful, and glamorous - which can only be revealed if you let it -
If you seek out your brave, your bad assery, and your innate authentic self.
Need not be a perfect barbie doll, or women in need of a make-over. Different photographer - different day. I am here to photograph you in the best light. I am here to take everything you are and capture your unique beauty in a way that is memorable, captivating, and beautifully crafted. But, above all, I am here to make you
feel loved, feel confident, and feel like you can be yourself.
““Often misconstrued, authenticity is not about being an open book revealing every detail of yourself without rhyme or reason. It is simply the act of openly and courageously seeing what needs to be seen, saying what needs to be said, doing what needs to be done, and becoming that which you are intent on being.”
- Scott Edmund Miller”
I want you to see that no matter what stage you are in your life, you are worthy of recognition.
You have a unique presence.
You smile differently.
You laugh at different moments,
and your personality shines for different reasons.
Not everyone will love you, and that's OK. But, bet your bum, your biggest fan should always be yourself. Everything else worth doing comes after.
Even so, here we are staring at ourselves in the mirror thinking "Should I do this? Am I enough? Can I look like that?". Everyone has done it. You are not alone. But, trust me when I say you are always enough. Find that something that gets you motivated, that makes you feel worthy,
and start living a life you deserve.
