Let’s make your dreams a reality 💭

One of my favorite things about photography is thinking of and creating different sets and ideas. Repurposing old furniture, saving trinkets and filling my basement up with ideas ready to come to life (despite my husband asking “do we really need to keep this?”)

Fun fact: these candle holders and my ivy walls were originally bought for my wedding! I love getting to use them for photoshoots. I have boxes of flowers, candles and lights that went from wedding supplies to photography props.

I also have a floral moon arch I made for my wedding that I’ve had a photoshoot in mind for years now and plan to create something with soon.

I’m a huge crafter and love designing pieces and bringing something that exists in our minds into reality. If you have a dream for a photoshoot and want someone to help make it happen I’d love to chat!

Be the fire they can’t put out 🔥

There is peaceful,
there is wild,
be both at the same time

This is for me.

This is for the little girl in me who was taught to hate herself and her body. It’s for the teenager in me who fell for lies and suffered EDs and self hatred. It’s for the adult in me who fought to do the work.

For the time my biggest fear was someone seeing my stomach

For all the times I’ve cried in a dressing room because standard sizes wouldn’t fit

For all the moments spent hating my body

It’s for me.

Because none of that stuff matters or even seems true when I look at pictures like this.
Because when I see this I know there gets to be a version of me that won. That the amount of self hate I have felt can only be turned into radical self love. Anything less wouldn’t be enough.
