There’s something really special about moments that come full circle.

Ten years ago, this beautiful human was one of my very first boudoir clients. Back then, I was just starting out, still finding my voice and wondering if boudoir photography could truly become something meaningful. I remember how inspired I felt after that first session with her. And now, a decade later, we’re here again. Same energy. Same kindness. Even more confidence and ease.

This luxury boudoir experience took place in the soft, golden light of morning at The Talbott Hotel, and it felt like the perfect setting to capture her beauty in such a natural, effortless way. From the dreamy light streaming through the windows to the thoughtful wardrobe choices in soft pastels, whites and delicate black, everything about this shoot felt honest and true to her.

Seeing how much can change in ten years, and also how much stays beautifully the same, was a reminder of why I do this work. Thank you to my lovely client! It was such a blast getting to work with you again.
