Ms. A - Spicy in red
Hello, gorgeous!
Hi friend! Today I wanted to feature the gorgeous Ms. A because she definitely brought the spice to her session. She is an English redhead that more than lives up to that firy stereotype. Somehow it all sounds so sophisticated with her beautiful accent.
If you want to add in an element of bondage, feel free to bring in cuffs, ties or anything that doesn't require complicated knots. Don't forget the CFM heels. My favorite is Christian Louboutin heels. We can capture your naughty side and the sweet side all in one photoshoot, because a woman doesn't have to pick a lane. She can explore every side of her sexuality.

4o is brutal on the body
But it doesn’t have to be.
Whoa, turning 40 changed A LOT! I thought 30 was a major change in metabolism, but 40 was like a screeching stop. Suddenly without any changes to my diet (fairly healthy) or exercise (very regular), I weighed more than I ever did while pregnant. WTF. I am not menopausal, but I’m sure it’s in my near future.
Then TikTok introduced me to Dr. Mary Claire Haver. I started to think... hmmm maybe something is up. I had lost my dad to cancer shortly after my birthday. I stopped sleeping well. I started craving sugar for the first time in my life. My weight would NOT budge. I wasn't comfortable with the age old: eat less and exercise more. I don't eat much and I get 10k-18k steps per day plus regular workouts. That's when I looked into cortisol levels when I realized my waist was packing on the padding for the first time in my pear-shaped life. I have a friend who is shameless about discussing health and body issues. There is no topic too gross for her. She recommended something for my digesting from Happy Mammoth. Welp, that opened my eyes to a whole slew of supplements. I started taking the Hormone Harmony and Bloat Banisher and started feeling changes immediately.
After a year of 3 am cortisol spikes and the restless wakeups that come with it, I was finally FINALLY sleeping through the night. Ha. I sound like an infant. But seriously, I was more tired and sleep deprived than I had been when my toddler woke me every night at 3 am asking for a bottle. Around this time, I started checking my hormones and getting an Rx for that (I'll share more later), but I knew this stuff was working because if I missed a nightly dose, I was sure to be spending 2 hours with my eyes wide open and praying for sleep.
I am not a doctor (duh), but I wanted to share my experience with this brand because I know there are so many of you out there who just don't know WTF is going on in your bodies or how to help it.

New chairs in the Boudoir studio
As a creative, I love to change things up in the studio. Yes, it's a little bit of "shiny new thing syndrome." I can't tell you how long I thought about which chairs to buy. I wanted them to be comfortable, but not too squishy. I wanted them to feel like a nice hug around you, but able to fit bums of all sizes. I wanted them to be pretty, but also functional. And the biggest decision... color. Neutral or super feminine. Clearly I went with super feminine pink. I LOVE THEM! They are the perfect chairs for my reveals.
Did you know that we do your photo design and album reveal in the comfort (and peace) of my studio?
Instead of sitting huddled in a corner on your laptop with constant interruptions from your pet/child/spouse/iPhone, you get to go through the photos one by one to select your absolute favorites and design your perfect album.
Through the whole reveal process, I make sure your bum is comfy. 🤣
See you next Tuesday!

Ms. J Before & After
Hi friend! Let me introduce you to Ms. J who just had a great photoshoot with me in my Southern Maryland boudoir studio! She was a little bit nervous because she had surgery on her shoulder that meant she couldn't keep up her gym routine. She was assured that a little extra softness wouldn't matter one bit. She would look gorgeous! Was I right?
She wanted a classic makeup look and a little bit of a French vibe. Thanks to Victoria with Natural Looks by Victoria for that! I customized her session to include a bottle of prosecco, flowers and her little Eiffel Tower clock. I don't have permission to share all of her photos, so this is what I've got. You'll just have to take my word for it that the rest of her photos were fabulous.
Recently I delivered her album with a red velvet cover. She even brought me a thank you card and two bottles of wine, one had the Lavish label. Awwww. 🥰 Check out her before photo and review below.
Review from Ms. J
“Your energy, enthusiasm and down to Earth personality made all the difference. I was so nervous, but you made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed.”
