There’s this constant, quiet pressure on women to shrink themselves—whether it’s physically, mentally, or emotionally. As women, we’re expected to fit into a mold that’s often unrealistic and impossible. But for plus-size women, this pressure is even heavier. We’re not just asked to fit into a box; we’re often told we shouldn’t even exist outside of it. Our bodies are policed, our voices are dismissed, and our worth is reduced to our appearance.

But here’s the thing: we have a right to take up space. And more than that, we have a right to be seen, to speak, and to feel powerful in doing so.

Steamy, intimate, and moody. That’s how I’d describe the first-ever couples session in my new studio space—and I couldn’t have asked for better "test subjects" than this incredible couple. They’ve been together for over 20 years, yet this was their first time doing a couples boudoir session. Their goal? Connection. And let me tell you, it was magic.
