Finally my time to share something special I’ve been working on for the last two years.

SOFT POWER: An Intimate Exhibition ✨
One night. One collection. No repeats.

After 2 years of creating behind the scenes

I’m finally opening the doors to something deeply personal, my favorite works from this body of concept sessions, all in one place.

This isn’t just a gallery… it’s an experience.

Your ticket includes:
Wine + curated cheese spread
Live entertainment
Full access to the exhibition

Every image you’ll see was created as a one-of-one concept.

Real women, real transformation, turned into art.

No image has been or will be recreated.

This night is for those who appreciate depth, beauty, storytelling… and seeing themselves differently.

If you’ve ever wanted to step into my world, this is your invitation.

Tickets are limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

You don’t need to be “more confident” before you come.
You don’t need to lose weight.
You don’t need to practice posing.

The bo***ir experience at camp isn’t about becoming someone else

it’s about meeting yourself where you are and realizing she’s already enough.

The confidence comes after.
The softness comes during.
The shift stays with you.

Because of how personal this experience is, attendance is by application only.

You deserve to be photographed like art.
You deserve to feel safe doing it.

Feeling at home in your body is not that far away. Bo***ir can be a gateway into the love.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself…
If you’ve been putting your needs on hold…
If you’ve been craving something that feels like coming home…

Bo***ir Summer Camp 2026 is an invitation to step back into your body, your confidence, and your life with women who will cheer you on every step of the way.

This is not about perfection.
It’s about presence.
And belonging.

Application-only.
Because you’re not just attending, you’re becoming part of something.

💗 Apply through the link in bio.
I cannot wait to meet you.

Things that made me a better photographer and no one talks about it:

Not gear.
Not poses.

It was learning how to sit with people in the discomfort
To notice the shift in their energy.
To make them feel safe enough to stop performing.

People don’t remember the photo.

They remember how they felt being seen.

The stories we tell ourselves quietly shape everything.

What we go after.
What we accept.
What we walk away from.

You will only take as much as you believe you deserve.

And sometimes…
we don’t even realize we’ve set the bar that low.

We say things like
“I’m being realistic”
“I don’t want to ask for too much”
“I should just be grateful”

But underneath that?
It’s a story.
One that’s been repeated so many times it feels like truth.

And while you’re busy trying to be reasonable,
you’re cutting yourself short in ways you can’t even see yet.

Settling into spaces that don’t fully hold you.
Accepting love that doesn’t fully meet you.
Staying small because it feels safer than wanting more.

The hardest part isn’t changing your life.
It’s questioning the story that told you this was all you get.

Because once you see it
you can’t unsee it.

And you start to realize…
maybe you were never asking for too much.

Maybe you were just taught to expect less.

Three years ago, I let a man take more of my power than he ever deserved.

I was going through what felt like a divorce.
We weren’t married, but we owned property together… it might as well have been.

And during that time, he did everything he could to break me down.

And the hardest part?
At some point… I let him.

I let his words get into my head. I let him make me question myself: my worth, my strength, even my ability as a business woman.

I started to believe him.

Looking back now, I wish I never handed over that kind of power.

But I also know how easy it is when you’re with someone who thrives off dimming your light.

Someone who chips away at you so slowly, you don’t even realize how much of yourself you’ve lost until you’re standing in the dark.

I see so many women living in that place.

And I get it. I really get it.

If you’ve been wondering why you’ve seen less of me this past year… it’s because I was rebuilding.

Piece by piece.

Mind. Body. Life.

Even someone like me.
Someone you’ve seen standing naked on rooftops, speaking on stages, helping 500+ women find confidence in themselves is not immune to losing herself.

But I found my way back.
And this version of me? She’s stronger.
Clearer.
Unshakeable.
New studio.
New mindset.
And I’m ready to help more women take their power back too because I know what’s it’s like to fight to get your shine back.

She didn’t know how hard it would be to feel at home in her body.

And she didn’t know she’d grow up to help other women find their way back to theirs.

This work is for you
but it’s also for her.

A day late, because I was busy in the studio yesterday.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day… and the anniversary of my business.

I started this in 2018 with a camera and a deep belief that women deserve to see themselves with kindness.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of photographing so many women (over 500 women) in moments of vulnerability, healing, courage, and transformation.

Women who thought they hated their bodies.

Women who thought they weren’t photogenic.

Women who didn’t think they were worthy of taking up space.

And then something shifts.

This work has never just been about photos. It’s about holding space. It’s about showing women the version of themselves the world tried to convince them didn’t exist.

Seven years later, I’m still so grateful for every woman who trusted me with their story.

You are the reason this exists. 🖤 take a walk through some of my favorite moments on this journey.

I want to talk about something that feels tender to share.

I’m a body positive photographer. I have built my work around helping women love themselves exactly as they are.

And I’m also currently on weight loss medication.

Those two things can feel contradictory to people on the outside. I’ve felt the tension. I’ve seen the side comments. I’ve wrestled with the fear that someone will think I’ve abandoned what I stand for.

But here’s the truth:
Body positivity was never about staying the same.

It was never about rejecting medical care.

It was never about performing “confidence” in a body that’s struggling.

I have a chronic illness that is exacerbated by my weight and makes it incredibly difficult to lose weight. It makes my limbs heavy like walking through sand. It’s a progressive illness, and even weight loss only helps hold off the inevitable.

My decision to pursue weight loss is rooted in wanting to hike without pain. To work long shoot days without flare-ups. To travel. To dance. To live fully in the body I have.

I did years of mental work to love myself. To untangle shame from my worth. To exist in photos at my highest weight without hiding. That work doesn’t disappear because I’m choosing to support my health in a new way.

I am not losing weight to be more acceptable.
I am not losing weight because I hated myself.
I am not losing weight to fit into beauty standards.
I am doing it so I can do the things I love with less pain and more freedom.

You are allowed to love your body and still want different for your health.

You are allowed to evolve.

And you are allowed to make choices for your body that no one else fully understands.

This is not a post to explain myself to anyone cause I truly have stopped caring about the opinions of others. It’s a post for those out there who are also struggling with living between two world. You are not alone.
