Over the last decade, I've had the privilege of photographing hundreds of boudoir sessions, teaching photographers around the world, speaking at major photography conferences, and helping people see themselves in a new way through photography.

What started as a creative outlet eventually became a career that has connected me with incredible clients, talented photographers, industry leaders, and some of the most respected publications in photography.

I'm grateful for every opportunity I've received along the way.

This page brings together many of the publications, podcasts, conferences, awards, and industry organizations that have featured my work or invited me to share my experience as a boudoir photographer and educator.

Being invited to participate as a judge and educator is something I never take for granted.

Photography has given me far more than a career. It has introduced me to people and experiences that have shaped my life in ways I never expected.

Teaching Boudoir Photography Around the World

One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been helping photographers improve their craft and build stronger businesses.

I've taught workshops, mentorships, and conference programs throughout North America, Europe, and Latin America, focusing on:

• Dynamic posing

• Dark and moody lighting

• Emotional storytelling

• Client experience

• Luxury branding

• Sales through connection and trust

Whether I'm teaching in Baltimore, Las Vegas, Stockholm, Buenos Aires, Madrid, or another city, my message stays the same.

The best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves.
