A Testament to Her Power — Miss L’s Session
There are days in this work that remind me exactly why I do what I do. Today was one of those days.
Miss L drove two and a half hours to come see me—passing up photographers who were practically in her backyard. She lived in Nashville for 20 years, and now she’s a powerhouse mom to six boys. Six! That alone makes her superhuman in my book.
This was her third boudoir session ever—but her first with me. And what a gift it was to photograph her, witness her, and hold space for everything she brought into the studio.
She told me the reason she booked her very first session years ago: she wanted to cancel out the cruel, echoing voices that told her she wasn’t enough. That she was fat. That she was awkward. That she was somehow less beautiful than she actually is.
That kind of bravery—the kind that confronts those lies head-on and says, watch me—is sacred.
Miss L didn’t come into the studio to become someone else. She came to remember who she’s always been. And it showed. She radiated grace and confidence in a way that made the camera fall in love with her. And more importantly—she started falling in love with herself again, too.
She gave me the honor of a full gallery release, and every single image is proof: she is art. She is elegance. She is raw power wrapped in softness and soul. These photos are not just portraits. They’re evidence of a woman who decided to choose herself.
Miss L, thank you. For your trust, your energy, your truth. I hope every image reminds you of what the world already sees—you are breathtaking.
