Oh my gosh — this one hit me right in the feels this morning. 🥹

Ten years ago today I made this little post… announcing my very first bo***ir marathon weekend. At that point I had been photographing seniors for a couple of years, and my heart was pulling me toward something more — something where I could work 1:1 with women, hear their stories, and help them see themselves the way the people who love them do.

I had no idea back then how much this work would change my life.
I just knew I wanted women to feel seen. Strong. Soft. Powerful. Worthy. Enough.

That simple “Bo***ir Marathon” turned into:
✨ a studio built with love
✨ thousands of images created
✨ tears, laughter, healing, and confidence
✨ friendships and stories I will always carry with me

And here we are — 10 years later — still doing the thing my heart whispered about back then. 🫶

If you’ve ever stepped in front of my camera, cheered another woman on, trusted me with your story, or are even just now finding me… thank you. You are the reason I do this.

Here’s to the next chapter.
More confidence. More self-love. More women choosing themselves. 💋

I’m so excited to announce that the CGP Body Love Campaign is BACK for 2025! 🎉
This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a movement. A celebration of real women, real stories, and real beauty.
But let me be real with you for a second…
I’m relaunching this campaign because many of my recent clients have chosen to keep their images private (which I 100% respect). That said, it’s left me without fresh content to inspire the next wave of women who are thinking, “Could I really do this?”
So I’m opening up a handful of exclusive spots for women who are ready to say YES to this empowering experience and give permission to share their images as part of my portfolio, website, and social media.
💖 Who I’m Looking For:
Empowered, confident women—or those who are ready to BECOME her—who:
✨ Are ready to invest in a luxury bo***ir experience with amazing campaign discounts
✨ Believe in body love and celebrating themselves unapologetically
✨ Are comfortable signing a model release so your story can inspire others
This is about so much more than pretty photos.
It’s about showing up for yourself—and being the spark for someone else who needs to see what’s possible.
🌟 What’s Included:
💄 Full professional hair & makeup
👙 Access to my client closet (sizes S–4X)
📍 A private luxury bo***ir session at my Vancleave, MS studio
💥 Exclusive campaign-only product discounts
💫 And a confidence-boosting, soul-shifting experience you’ll never forget
If you’ve ever thought, “She looks amazing—but I could never do that…”
This is your sign: Yes, you absolutely CAN.
But space is limited, and I’ll be hand-selecting the women featured in this year’s campaign.
👉 Apply here:

Let’s create something powerful.
Let’s remind the world that real women are more than enough. 💕
With love,
