Women freakin' rule
let's celebrate that
not your average boudoir photography
The first time I did a boudoir shoot was on a whim. I was fresh off the Women's March, feeling very empowered, and more comfortable and confident with myself than I ever had before. It was a real "I am woman hear me roar" vibe. We were in Joshua Tree staying at this amazing AirBnB with a wrap around privacy fence and I thought to myself, who needs clothes? So I ditched 'em. I was really getting out of my comfort zone and loving it. After a game of nude bocce ball I decided that I wanted to capture exactly what I was feeling at that moment. The power, the confidence, the excitement! There's just something about being naked outside that makes you feel free. Like, really truly free. So I set up my camera and snapped a few frames. I still look at those images if I'm feeling down or doubting myself. They make me feel strong and beautiful, they remind me of how I felt that day and those feelings start flooding back in. To me, boudoir photography isn't about looking sexy for a photo, it's about creating a space for you to feel comfortable and confident and locking those feelings into a frame so you never forget it.

I made a really bold move and hired Madye to do a boudoir photo shoot of me. I turned 40 this year and have been making some big life changes. I have never been comfortable in my body or how I look. I have always been extremely self conscious. Madye and I hiked out into the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park and found the perfect, secluded spot. I was so nervous but Madye made me feel incredibly relaxed and confident! She knows just the right way to have you pose that not only hides your insecurities, but also make you look comfortable. It was extremely empowering and I honestly had so much fun! I’m so happy I did this and will honestly cherish this moment and the photos forever!!
I did a "boudoir" shoot and damn...Madye truly made me feel seen! Seriously though, this experience was unexpectedly healing. She is the first person who has really given me the opportunity to be with my body as it is, without shame or judgement, in an intentionally safe and sacred space. And on a personal level, I've been learning how to take up space, be seen, and feel that my presence is worthy of reverence. So not only was the photo shoot experience healing, but getting to see the images was so powerful to me. Highly highly recommend this experience to any person learning to honor themselves and heal from body hatred.
