Hey there, lovely!

I'm Hope, here's where I share a little bit about my story and why I'm so passionate about what I do…

I've always struggled with my self image and never felt like I fit into what our society saw as "beautiful", but since becoming a mother my perspective has changed. Raising my two boys has taught me that it's my responsibility to teach them that bodies are meant to be celebrated for their differences because beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, with folds or without, with marks and scars that tell our unique stories.

Of course, I still have my challenging days, times when I look in the mirror and those pesky negative thoughts creep in. But then I pause, and I remind myself to be kind. That my body is gonna change and doesn’t need the validation of others to be seen with loving eyes. I mean, this body created life for crying out loud! She deserves some grace for that. Shifting from those negative thoughts was freeing.

What also helped me was the process of self-portraits. Something about capturing myself through a lens in an artful way, finding my own kind of sensuality, in a way that's not in line with the "sexualized female form". Moving in front of the camera in what I felt was sexy...now that was liberating.

So this is what led me into the world of intimate boudoir photography. My mission, to help people change their negative self-talk into positive self-affirmations and wholeheartedly celebrate their unique beauty.  If I can make even a small impact on someone's self-perception, then I consider myself a success. Cheesy, I know, but it's the truth.

Now, if you're still here...thanks for sticking around! My guess is you're a little curious about this adventure of self-love and empowerment. So let's get together to capture your beauty, your strength, and your story through intimate and empowering photography. Together, we'll celebrate the incredible beauty that lies within each and every one of us.

With Love,

Hope
