I create art to change the way women see themselves. My art changes the confidence women have in themselves.

Boudoir. It is empowering and life changing. Boudoir isn’t just about showing skin but about accepting and loving the skin you’re in. Without external validation or expectation.
Where do you find inspiration?My soul. She screams daily. If I can create what my mind sees, then I can share it. My camera has always been my tool for healing, myself, and others. So it’s a sacred space to walk into and create. No matter if I’m using everything or nothing in the set.
What would you do with $25,000?Expand. I would keep creating at a scale I could train other artists and travel to shoot in the coolest places. I’m located in a small town, and this is a chance to step out of that.
