Beach Boudoir Session at Cape Kiwanda

My sunshine babes - Summer is here!! This is my favorite season, I am all for the sunshine, long days, and the heat that 95% of Northwestern people hate 😂 I’m afraid I am here to announce something to make the season even hotter - Beach Boudoir Sessions!! I am hosting 2 special boudoir sessions at Cape Kiwanda beach on the Oregon Coast. What better way to live your hot girl summer than to memorialize it with confident, sexy photos of yourself?? This is the material you use to tell your grandkids you were a supermodel.

I only have 2 spots available (for now!) on August 21st, so if you’re interested, make sure you click the button at the end of this post to read the full details and claim a spot for yourself!

I wanted to share this blog post with you to give you a little inspiration of course for photo opportunities at your own photoshoot, but also some encouragement from me on the other side of the camera. I decided to model my own test shoot pretty last minute, and at first all I was thinking about were logistics (when to go, reading tide charts, grabbing my girlfriends to help me, etc) Of course when it came to wardrobe, I went out to grab a new swim top that caught my eye a while ago and it was perfect! My chest is one of my confidence areas, and this top was doing everything for me and made me feel so good.

The bottoms, however, were low-cut. I’ve been wearing high wait bottoms since they came into main style around 2014. I had convinced myself it was because I just liked the look of them better. I didn’t want to admit I was numbing some feelings I had around my tummy. But this swimsuit was too good not to have the matching bottoms, so I tried them on, said “fuck it” and bought them anyway. It started sinking in that I was going to be strutting those low-cut bottoms, on the beach, in public, POSING for photos. I was intimidated, but I wanted to challenge myself so badly for this shoot, that I did it anyway.

I’m so glad I did. Yes, at the beginning it was a little weird, I wanted to shrink myself and just put my t-shirt back on. But I kept going, we went all that way! After I stopped worrying about everyone else (who did not care, and were doing their own thing) I owned that shit. And the following images reflect that challenge being overcome.

I worked a wedding once, wearing a new bodycon dress that I felt so pretty in. Before the wedding started, the officiant came up to me and asked me when I was due. Now, there’s nothing wrong with being/looking pregnant, all tummies are beautiful. But being as I was not pregnant, that comment stuck with me for YEARS (I still can’t wear bodycon dresses because of this — but I’m working on it!) I had so many feelings about my body looking wrong or my stomach looking like it was on the wrong body, so much weirdness. I’m so thankful for my body-love journey and challenging myself with this photoshoot. I had so much fun, and eventually I totally forgot about my stomach and just leaned into what poses felt fun and exuded confidence. That’s what this is all about, Muses. I want to give you the experience of challenging your comfort zone, making you forget about all the weird body feelings, even temporarily. Then give you photos of yourself that make your jaw drop and make you feel some kind of new appreciation for yourself.

Was it scary? Yes. Did it challenge me? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I will look back on this photoshoot so fondly as a testament that I can do hard things. I look at them with love and pride and confidence in myself. You deserve that too. Let’s have some fun at the beach, and experience something you’ll never forget.
