Hey There Beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by to get to know me! :)
I’m Barbara
—your photographer, hype woman, and the person who will absolutely make you laugh mid-pose.
I picked Boudoir as it seemed to be a most artistic and expressive type of Photography out there.
What I didn’t realize was that it’s a damn revolution!
It’s wild. I watch women transform in real time. That quiet “oh shit, I’ve got this” moment when they realize they can be both fierce and tender, strong and soft, and everything in between.
The photos?
They’re just the proof. But it’s the journey—the confidence, the laughter, the tears—that’s where the real power is.
I live for that transformation. I live for that moment when you see your photos and go, “Wait… that’s ME?”
Hell yes, it is!

The Empowerment
Boudoir is more than just a shoot—it’s a chance to break down those walls we’ve built around ourselves. Each click of the camera is a reminder that you deserve to feel confident, sexy, and completely at ease in your skin. And when you see those photos? It’s like seeing the version of yourself you’ve always known was there, finally come to life. It’s not just about the photos; it’s about the freedom that comes with letting go of everything holding you back.
This is a place where you get to be every version of yourself, whether that’s confident, vulnerable, playful, or fierce.
No judgment, no pressure, just pure self-expression. Think of it as a mini-vacation from all the outside noise, where you can step into the spotlight and realize how incredible you truly are.
The Boudoir Foundation
My primary mission is to keep promoting a positive body image through a Boudoir Photograpy. And when I say body, I actually mean EVERYSINGLEBODY; in the beautiful diverse landscapes of all forms.
The foundation of my work is being a part of your story and to make sure that going back to this chapter will always make you feel special, even if that means sleeping with your album under the pillow 😉
We are all THOSE WOMEN, the creatures with superpowers who can easily juggle countless tasks between career and family but we somehow manage to notoriously forget that we are worthy and simply beautiful just as we are...
