Where did you get your start in Boudoir?
It kind of fell into my lap by accident. Back in 2010, a friend of mine asked me to take some sexy photos for her, to give to her new beau. I had never even heard of Boudoir back then; I mostly shot small weddings and family photos, but I knew I loved people and portraiture so I agreed to give it a shot! I pinned some black sheets on the walls of my apartment living room, found some old garage work lights, and took my first ever 'boudoir' shots. It was so much fun, and the photos didn't turn out half bad! After that, I was asked to photograph her friends, and then their friends, and it quickly snowballed. I began making more money there than at my day job, so six months later I decided to pursue it full-time. Fast forward six years, and I have a large commercial studio space, a fellow photographer, and two makeup artists working for me!
Previous work experience?
I studied Graphic Design in college, and my previous work experience lies in advertising agencies and larger corporate companies. Having a background in design has been a huge advantage for me as a photographer. I still use my skills and knowledge in everything from website design and upkeep, to my client's album designs and photo retouching.
