Boudoir : Ms. S

This boudoir session is completely fitting for a day when we celebrate mothers all over the world. A stunning woman, mother of four, who has gone through life with a strength that I can't even imagine.

After learning more about her, I understood how blessed her husband and children are to have her in such an unconditional way. I saw how hard she worked and the amount of love she gave them. When she wanted to surprise her husband with an album, I was so happy that she was also willing to take a morning off just for herself. 

There's no denying her incredible beauty...

Boudoir : Shani

It was a beautiful California day (but really, when is it not beautiful in Southern California?), and we were completely feeling the relaxed vibe of the West Coast. Conversation and laughter took place during Shani's hair and makeup, but the minute it was over, everything became quieter and more intimate and I began to photograph this stunning woman.

I was so impressed by Shani's ability to let go and trust in me, as she is a photographer herself. Looking back, I really think we had a deeper understanding of each other. This special kind of trust always leads to the most amazing results...

Boudoir : Corinne

While visiting my hometown in the cold, Minnesota winter, I had the privilege of photographing this beautiful young woman. She's a fashion maven, shoe collector and a mama to her adorable daughter. Originally from the Philippines, Corinne's story is unlike any other. I have a lot of admiration for the positivity and strength that is so much a part of the person she has become.

This session was about documenting where Corinne is, at this moment in time, and I am looking forward to seeing where the road ahead takes her...

Boudoir : Kity

Over lunch at a cute cafe on Emek Refaim, we talked about life, spirituality, photography and our upcoming boudoir session together. She was planning a birthday surprise for her boyfriend who lives abroad. The way she described their love was so sweet and mysterious, and I could understand how she kept this a secret from him through the entire process.

When I look at Kity, I see a gorgeous woman from a decade far before us. A true classy, feminine and courageous soul. 

I think that these images just say it all...
