(1/2) To my trans clients, my clients with darker skin tones, my disabled clients, my clients who are queer, my clients in larger bodies, and my clients who are in other marginalized identities; 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂. The world needs your magic, your softness, your determination, your YOU.

(1/?) 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁? 🤫 99.9% of the people you think are wildly confident merely 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 confident (sometimes for years) before they actually 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 confident. And that's freeing, isn't it?

Black & white image of a Black woman with short curly natural hair in a larger body, wearing a mesh playsuit, twirling a large flogger. She has on black glasses and dark lipstick, and is smiling saucily at the camera. There is a black censor bar across her chest that says "This is beautiful art."

A Latina woman with dark brown medium length hair and black lipstick is in a sheer black string bikini top and g-string. Her tattoos are visible. There is a faint outline of trees behind her on what appears to be a dark olive background, and a faint halo around her head. She is in motion and her head is tilted back slightly and she is smiling.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 + 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: Shame thrives when we think we’re alone in our struggles. When healing your relationship with your body, it helps to be surrounded by a caring community of queer folks with similar lived experiences who are working on the same goal. This kind of support is vital! We got you!

Remember that one time @drsamischalk.bsky.social & @millbot.bsky.social and I did a queer, poly Bridgerton-themed shoot? Me too. It was awesome! Here's to more fun photos in 2025, celebrating queerness and joy!

The emboldening of hatred is ramping back up again already, less than a week in, and it's hard af to pace myself with the amount of anger and sadness I feel. But I'm taking some steps to try and eventually get both of my businesses off of Meta long-term. Thanks to the folks who follow us here!

Be the badass you know yourself to be *nods sagely*

What do you want to feel during your session? Sexy, mysterious, powerful, or vulnerable? Boudoir + empowerment sessions don't have to be about sexy vibes if that's not your thing. I'll work with you to make the session your own and celebrate you exactly as you are! #boudoir #empowerment

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲? Vulnerability can look like a lot of things, but ultimately, I don't think we can live our fullest, most authentic lives without being vulnerable in some way, and I don't view vulnerability as a weakness, but as the beautiful gift of being human.
