Beauty is not easily defined; it is something that each of us has to find and more importantly, feel on our own. This, undoubtedly, requires a unique and intimate exploration into oneself. Beauty and Boudoir Photography provide us with one exciting and incredibly satisfying avenue of experiencing ourselves and our own unique beauty. Not only will you love the images we create together, but you will amaze yourself. And this, my friend, has been known to cause increased self esteem and feelings of empowerment.
