And I was so thrilled to be able to work with her! They are an amazing human that I’ve known for years, and I credit them with connecting me with Our Lives magazine, who I’ve now been shooting images for for quite a number of years. I love Emily’s look, and am in love with the photos we were able to capture!

We played around with her amazing “black widow” style robe and movement and florals and I loved every minute of it! Enjoy these photos!

Their style, flare, and absolutely brilliant smile are all unparalleled. They were such a gem about rescheduling following a surprise gallbladder removal surgery, but the wait was worth it! I’m so glad I got to photograph them finally! Enjoy these fun photos from their session. Whryne’s outfits are a great example of things you can wear to a boudoir + empowerment session that aren’t lingerie or that don’t involve being nude, if that’s not your thing!

And both were so fun and amazing! I absolutely love how our neon shower setup turned out! Enjoy these fun photos and consider booking your own neon session!

Sara really wanted to do an outdoor shoot, and I was thrilled when we decided on Governor’s Island on Madison’s Northeast side! Governor’s Island is freaking beautiful (all year round, but in the fall particularly) and we had a blast walking around getting photos and laughing out butts off. It was chilly, but worth it!

She wanted a mix of flirty and romantic, so we played around and had fun in the studio for the occasion! I love how these turned out, and am so glad we got to do a belated birthday session for her!

When Sebastian and I talked about what a gender affirming session would look like for him as a trans man, he said that one of the things that helps him feel most centered in his gender is leather, and puppy play. I had heard of puppy play, but didn’t know much about it, so Sebastian was kind enough to explain it to me, and even gave me a little crash course on the overlap between the leather community and pup community. He also wanted to work some fun top energy into his session, which we absolutely did!
Sebastian’s session was a blast and I am so honored to have been able to photograph him!

Marie (@the_spiritual_candy on instagram) arrived for her session with $100 worth of candy in a large tote bin, and a clear vision for how she wanted her session to go. I normally have a bit of a moody vibe to a lot of my portraits (my inner goth kid coming out to play), but when Marie told me that her vision for her session was bright, colorful, and filled with whimsical candy and yoga-based play, I knew I finally had a use for that bright yellow backdrop at the studio! Marie did her yoga flow in a sea of candy, and we got photos of it, and they were awesome! We also did a little floral-based stuff at the very end, before all the candy cleanup commenced. I love these photos and I hope you all do too!

I love the different styles and presentations, and Wendi’s take on what femme + masculine look like on her was stunning!
—Sam
But when they saw some neon-themed images on my instagram page, they were smitten, and we decided to go the route of a faux shower neon light setup (what, you don’t have neon lights in your shower at home?) and it was awesome! I’m so excited Red was up for playing around with neon, getting sprayed down with a water bottle, and being a vulnerable and all around amazing human for our session! Enjoy these fun photos!
—Sam
She absolutely rocked it, and was happy to play around with flowers, crowns, and that badass sparkle robe! Thank you, Miss H, for your wonderful spirit and for posing for these lovely photos!
—Sam
And, of course, Sami delivered exactly the type of femme top energy this world needs.
Enjoy the photos, and if you want to book a session, channeling whatever type of energy you want more of in your life, hit me up!
