I met M through a mutual friend. I had made a recent post about my Phoenix sessions - what they mean to me and my reasons for doing them. Shortly after my friend, J, added her friend M, to the group. M messaged me right away asking about my Phoenix sessions and how she could schedule one. We talked about her story and about her vision for her session. She surprised the hell out of me when she said she wanted to return to the location where her assault took place for her session. This is something I just dont know that I could do. To be that open, honest and raw in a place where my body was violated, yeah, I just dont know that I could do that. But, that's exactly what she wanted and that's e

When this babe scheduled her session she told me that this was the first time she had been single in TWELVE YEARS and she wanted to do this for herself. She wanted to feel sexy and confident. What was supposed to be an outdoor session turned into a super steamy studio one. This girl oozes sexual energy. She lit this session on FIRE <3

When this beautiful creature booked her session, she told me that she wanted to feel sexy and confident. She told me she had been in shell and just wasn't feeling herself like she used to. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?! She booked her session a few months out and in those few months I got the opportunity to get to know Jess and see what an amazingly beautiful and kind person she is. Truly. She has the kindest soul. AND she's drop. dead. gorgeous. As you can see... that shell is SMASHED. Way to rock this session Love! Enjoy this beauties session <3

TJ is a high school senior at PO High School. He is active in football and has BIG aspirations following his high school career. He is planning to major in business and possibly pursue a career following in some family members' footsteps, protecting our state as a Pennsylvania State Trooper. His smile is absolutely infectious. We had so much fun at this session. The day could not have been more perfect. And we were thankful for that. After all the rain in PA this year, it had us rescheduling this session every single week, sometimes twice a week to try to find a day that it DIDN'T rain. We finished up JUST as it started to rain. For our location, TJ and his Mama chose a BEAUTIFUL red barn be

I am a child of the Moon being raised by the sun in a world walked by stars and a sky drawn by flowers. - Zara Ventris Renee was the perfect example of a moon child for our Day of the Gypsies - Fall Edition Boudoir Mini Sessions. I'm honestly not sure if we could have searched out to find someone better suited for this kind of session. You could tell she was comfortable in nature and certainly added to it's beauty. She dances to the songs in her head, speaks with the rhythm of her heart and loves from the depths of her soul. - Dean Jackson If our Renee was a perfect example of a Moon child, there could be no better example of a goddess of the Sun than Rachel. From the top of her head to the

People like her can only be loved one way. The right way, The passionate way, The self-less way, One way, different lanes. - Pierre Alex Jeanty This beautiful creature is my second shooter and one of my best friends. I have known her for years and I have watched her grow into this amazing, self sufficient, no nonsense, generous, kind and loving woman and mother. I am so proud of her, not only for the who she is, not only for the life she has created for herself and her son but also and maybe more importantly for her ever present positivity and ability to bolster others up. Love you Jame XOXO

My mission in this world is to make women feel heard and empowered, beautiful and loved, supported and inspired. While on this journey, I have created my Phoenix sessions. They are completely FREE to SURVIVORS of Domestic and Sexual Assault. I know they may not completely take away the pain of what they have survived and endured but it is my hope that for those moments with me and the days following, that maybe the pain isn't as bad. So, without prattling on, it is my honor to share with you, the story of S.B. I am so truly proud of her for the strength, courage and grace that she showed during her session. You are beautiful. You are kind. You are worthy. You are enough. You are alive. You a

This little family is absolutely adorable. I did family portraits for them last year and at the end of the year ran a competition to see which images were the most popular, this image of the little boy won the whole thing! This image won his Mama a free family sesh in 2018. Katlyn knew she didn't want your run of the mill, average family session. She wanted something different. Something fun. I threw out the idea for a paint splatter session and she LOVED it. The day of the session came and the weather was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (which is odd for us this Summer/Fall). It was seriously the most beautiful day. We arrived at our location and Katlyn brought out the paint. Landen could barely contain

I feel like this particular shoot has been a lifetime in the making for me. To understand the why of this shoot, we need to back up. From the time I was very small, my mom and aunts and sister and all the beautiful women around me "dieting." They were fad diets and they never stuck. It was an ongoing cycle of gain weight, diet, lose weight, stop diet because it was a pain in the ass, gain weight and repeat. I think most of us can say that we lived this as a child. I can remember going around telling people I was on a diet... I was maybe 5-7 years old. All the most beautiful women had small waists, large breasts, athletic arms and legs and of course booty. I wanted desperately to look like th
