Stop Shrinking Yourself: Take Up Space | Denver Boudoir Photos

Total transparency: I’m angry. It’s for something completely unrelated to my Denver boudoir photos, or my clients, it’s personal – but still, that anger is lingering and burning hot.

So instead of doing something that could mean I end up in prison, I figured writing would be a better outlet, yes?

There has been a collective awakening in the past few years among women. Women standing up and saying NO MORE.

No more being quiet.

No more trying to avoid rocking the boat or walking on eggshells.

No more dimming ourselves so someone else won’t feel small.

No more contorting everything about ourselves, from our bodies, to our voices, to our work, to our very beings just to fit into a relationship that doesn’t serve us in the first place.

I have been specializing in boudoir for 16 years now, and I have talked with so many women who have been through the same cycle.

If there’s one thing that my Denver boudoir photos sessions have taught me, it’s that we as women are NOT alone in our feelings when it comes to the frustration involved in being female in a patriarchal society that tries to teach us to be less.

I’m here to tell you:

IT’S TIME TO BE SEEN.

Fully. Fiercely. 100% in your beauty, your power, and your awesomeness. And for some of us, our magical weirdness too.

And you don’t need ANYONE’S permission to do so.

Taking up space means reclaiming your right to be bold, emotional, joyful, sensual, angry, soft, loud – HUMAN. To be whatever the fuck you want to be, whoever the fuck you want to be, and HOWEVER the fuck you want to be. And that includes how you show up in your body.

That includes how you see yourself.

While there are SO many processes and ways to start stepping fully into that power, I have watched my clients do it throughout the years before, during, and after their Denver boudoir photos sessions.

I have done it myself, with my own boudoir photos. (coming soon…)

These sessions aren’t just about lingerie or photos. It’s about reminding yourself that you are enough exactly as you are, a beautiful, magical, and powerful human. That you deserve to feel confident, connected, and radiant in your own skin.

I work with women, men and couples who are ready to step into visibility – sometimes for the first time in years. And no, visibility doesn’t mean you have to share your photos, it doesn’t mean that you have to change who you are, it doesn’t mean that you have to be a loud person if that’s not naturally you.

It means showing up entirely as yourself. Even if you’re shy, boisterous, quiet, pensive, funny, or serious.

Whether you’re healing, rebuilding, or simply done playing small, this is your invitation to take up space and step into YOU.

No, you don’t need to lose weight.

No, you don’t need to “earn it.”

No, you don’t need to feel guilty for doing something for yourself that isn’t for the kids or someone else.

No, you don’t need to check some imaginary box that tells you that it’s okay to do so.

You already deserve it – now.

My Denver boudoir photos sessions are a radical act of self-love and self-worth.

My studio is a safe, supportive space where you are celebrated, not judged. You get to take up space in front of the camera, and carry that energy back into your life.

You’re not “too much.”

You’re not “not enough.”

You are a powerful, amazing human, and it’s time the world sees it.

Because the haters are going to find something to bitch about and be mad about regardless of what you’re doing – may as well be doing what YOU want, instead of what other people expect you to do.
