dans ma peau

It’s like I am finally seeing myself for the very first time, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

Every year around this time my mind moves to boudoir photography. Be it the nesting that happens after the holidays and spending more down time indoors, or the month of February with Valentine’s day approaching, something about it calls to me.

I have always been drawn to the human form, its complete balance of vulnerability and strength, the way it tells a story; every little crease, wrinkle, stretch-mark, scar and freckle have something profound and beautiful to share. How each and every person I have ever drawn, painted, coiffed and/or made-up or photographed is different, completely unique and yet all somehow so similar. It’s a grounding and truly humbling experience to be able to freeze in time for someone their body - their face and hands and the way their shoulders fall, so that they might look back on themselves one day and not see their imperfections but rather a WORK OF ART.

This is what we are after all. Every single one of us is a miraculous creation of God and science, love and perseverance, beauty and romance; unique and incomparable and yet ever so familiar it reminds us how we are all human beings just borrowing our time on this earth.

I have photographed many women over the years in boudoir settings, and have always felt a deep connection to each and every one of these sessions. And the words so many of you have shared with me after receiving your galleries has always reminded me as to why I wanted to continue doing this for people.

For a long time I have dreamt of putting together an event where women (or men) could come to celebrate themselves, to honor the phase of life they are in, to give them the space they deserve to truly see themselves through a romantic lens of strength and beauty. To immortalize a moment in their lives that they will want to recall years from now, or share with their loved ones one day. Today, I am so excited to say that I am finally making this happen.

With so much love, I proudly introduce to you my ‘dans ma peau’ sessions.

I am offering a VERY limited number of sessions for this event. Being that it will be the very first one, that it is a longer than normal session, and given our current state of world affairs - it will require much more work to keep up with safety measures. So I decided that less is more for now, BUT I will absolutely be doing this again in the future so please stay in touch! I am so excited and so so so looking forward to it. I hope to see you there. xo
