What’s the one thing I recommend for glowy skin What’s the one thing I recommend for glowy skin before a boudoir shoot? 

💉Microneedling 💉

I get asked this all the time as a boudoir photographer, so today I’m taking you with me behind the scenes for what I’ve learned works best for that ethereal, sunkissed glow ☀️

I’ve tried it all (facials, chemical peels, you name it), but microneedling gives me the best results with minimal downtime and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin (perioral dermatitis, anyone?).

So what is it? In short: tiny needles that stimulate collagen and blood flow, improving texture, tone, and glow. The needles aren’t scary long (as you see in the video) and the right provider will always numb your skin first.

Afterward, I take a couple days off from the gym and sun, but once I heal? Glowy af, baby!

What I notice: smaller pores, more even tone, softer skin, and way less dryness, which is why it’s perfect for Denver’s desert ass air. 

If you’re booking hair + makeup with my go-to glam team @kimjbeauty, exfoliated, glowing skin helps makeup go on way smoother than dry, flaky skin.

When to book: 10–14 days before your session if you’re familiar with it. If it’s your first time, test it out well ahead of your shoot.

My go-to? @karilynmay.pmu — she does my microneedling and my brows (nano brows are the real deal y’all)

Tell me in the comments: have you tried microneedling before? Do you love it?! Let me know!

Coming soon ⚡️⚡️⚡️ As many of you kno Coming soon ⚡️⚡️⚡️

As many of you know, my boudoir studio is the second bedroom in my home. Built in 1896, it’s not the most spacious condo you’ve ever been in — only 650 square feet, meaning I have to maximize every inch of my studio to make the most for your boudoir photos. 

There’s this little nook by the doorway in my studio that’s always just kinda…been there. It’s long needed a purpose. I’ve always wanted to be able to use as much of this room as possible, so I’m stoked to finally put it to use!

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of what’s to come: a black sequin backdrop to add sparkle in the background and some LED lighting that can be any color you want. I’m partial to hot pink and cool blue playing off each other like you see here 🩷💙💜

I’m putting the finishing touches on this little vignette today, so this will be ready for your boudoir sessions starting this very week and beyond. 

Stay tuned for more! Many thanks go out to my lovely friend and fellow small business owner Emily from @goldenhour_denver, who graciously acted as my guinea pig for these photos. Can’t wait to share the final images!

A few recent snaps from this beauty’s birthday b A few recent snaps from this beauty’s birthday boudoir session! 🍰

I love the 90s supermodel vibes we captured here with the voluminous curls and sassy body language. I’m always thinking back to that era — Calvin Klein in black + white, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, etc. — as inspiration for poses for my clients. You can take the girl out of the 90s but you can’t take the 90s out of the girl (especially if you know how I like to dress these days). 

More to come from this stunner! Happy Monday y’all ⚡️

All booties are good booties 🍑 If I wasn’t a All booties are good booties 🍑

If I wasn’t a boudoir photographer, I could totally see myself being a fitness instructor or personal trainer. I love working out in any shape or form, especially lifting weights. Huge shout-out goes to @kerryaudie.fit and the team at @pearlstreetfitness, where I first discovered my love of HIIT classes and strength training! 

Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite glute exercises that will help get that booty pop ready for your photos. All of these can be done with or without weights, your choice! These aren’t required for your boudoir session but there’s nothing wrong with doing a little booty pump here and there before your shoot. 

Tell me your fave booty exercises in the comments! What am I missing?!

Some things you might not know about me: • I’ Some things you might not know about me:

• I’m a bus bitch 🚌 I sold my car in 2020 to see if I could ride only transit for one year. I ended up loving it so much I decided to stick with it! Can’t see myself buying a car anytime soon. 

• Currently reading City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert, recommended by my dear friend @kylafearportraits. Loving it so far!

• One of my favorite Denver snack stops is @mariaempanada, which is conveniently located across the street from where I get my hair done, @starlingsalon. My BFF @hallieadrianhair has been taking care of this mane for like…15 years now! She’s legit 💇‍♀️

• Yes I garden with surgical gloves on (I hate getting dirt under my nails). I recently picked up some seedlings from @homesteadingindenver. Can’t wait to get the basil and tomatoes growing!

• I love hosting clients for their reveals 🖤 A virtual reveal session is always available if that’s better but I love having clients back over to the home studio to look at their gallery together. Dogs are always welcome! 

• I am a huge NBA junkie and have Nuggets season tickets with my bestie Tim. Sad the Nuggs are done for the year but Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers put on a hell of a show last night in overtime! This season has some of the best playoff basketball I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching 🏀

Thanks for taking a little stroll with me through the city after I wrapped yesterday’s shoot, which I’m excited to share more with you next week — some new things are brewing at the home studio 🏡

Somehow we’re halfway through the month of May…how did we get here?! 🫠

Either way, I still have a few open spots for a discounted promo mini session this month:

✨ Saturday 5/24
✨ Tuesday 5/27

More to come from this beauty’s stunner session! 🖤

My own little slice of weirdness in the Highlands My own little slice of weirdness in the Highlands ✨ 

Fun facts about my home studio:

• Built in 1896 

• Was a brothel at the turn of the century according to HOA lore — and also a drug house in the 80s 🌚

• Speaking of the HOA, I have served two terms as president (no one else wanted to do it) 

• Over 350 gals have walked through my doors for boudoir photos since 2021 

As you can see, the vibes here are immaculate ✨ Come see me soon!

🎉 Mini session bonanza incoming! 🎉 Alright 🎉 Mini session bonanza incoming! 🎉

Alright beauties, spring has sprung and I want to do something to celebrate all the pretty flowers + sunlight we've been enjoying in Denver lately! (Even though we're getting a banger spring storm rolling in later today...) 

A few weeks back I noticed a lot of interest came through for mini sessions. Sometimes you just need a handful of digital images! I'd like to share a special promo with gals who are looking for a shoot where you can dip your toes in the water but still go home with stunning images. 

If that's you, comment on this post and I will DM you the details. You are also more than welcome to tag any loved ones who you think might enjoy some killer photos!

I'm already sending out info to some of the gals who mentioned being interested in a mini session promo through my stories a few weeks back. Keep your eyes peeled and check your inbox!

So excited to hopefully work with you this spring! In the meantime, I gotta send a huge shout-out to the babe in this photo, who opted for a 24x36" acrylic print of this very image to display in her home. That is supermodel energy right there 🔥
