how it started
I've been a photographer for over 15 years in the areas of brand and commercial photography with my freelance graphic arts business Wonder Loft Creative which I have since retired from. My love for taking boudoir photos came during the pandemic actually. While there were many jokes about the "pandemic 15" and people gaining weight, I actually did the opposite and started working out harder than ever. I decided life was too short to wallow and my confidence level shot through the roof. I guess that whole turning 40 thing is really a game changer. Anyhow I started documenting my fitness journey on a shared Instagram page with my husband and I also started taking pictures of myself in lingerie because why not take sexy pictures when you think the zombie apocalypse has just begun?! I kept taking more and more photos and really enjoyed how it made me feel, especially when I accepted my flaws. I wasn't perfect by "beauty standards", but I was perfect for me <3. Fast forward I asked my friends if I could take photos of them after a whim of wanting to make others feel how I did. And wallah! My idea was born in 2021 of helping others document their journey, feel confident in their skin, give them an experience of feeling really sexy and sensual, and helping to crush and redefine the beauty standards for all shapes, sizes and genders.
working with me
My mission in life has always been to make people that I'm around smile, laugh with my corny jokes and sarcasm, and peer pressure my way into their heads trying to boost self confidence. You will not just get a photographer but a friend, a cheerleader, and a confidant that guides you on this journey of self discovery, self love, and self confidence.
BEHIND THE SCENES
A little about me. I am queer and a wife to a wonderful amazing husband of 24 years (yah we were babies when we met). We have two beautiful children together and the start of a zoo (not by his choice) with two cats, a dog, and two chinchillas. Alongside starting my photography business I accidentally fell into becoming an alternative model (a model that does not conform to mainstream ideals of beauty), a burlesque performer, and a magazine publisher for our local body positive boudoir style magazine REAL Babes. During the pandemic I had started a personal instagram showing my sexy selfies. I ended up attending a magazine shoot trial run to take some photos of models and was invited to be one of their models after they had seen my page. My confidence snowballed and I've been on a roll ever since taking on more and more gigs when I can. I've even become a coveted Suicide Girl Hopeful and an Official Playboy Bunny!
I am a lover of all things rainbow, I collect trolls (yep like from the 80's), I try my best to favor natural living whether it be holistic health, exercise, eating a healthy whole primal diet, and being environmentally crunchy as best as I can. I am a huge lover of the outdoors. I love backpacking, hiking, water sports, and practicing and learning primitive skills (fire tending, shelter building, wild food foraging, etc.). And because kink is not a dirty secret to me I don't mind sharing that I am an active member of the kink community with a whole host of kinks I love to explore. I absolutely never mind talking about my kinks with others and share their kinks with me.
