Now that gift-giving for others is over, here are my favorite gifts for ME (and for you!). Start your year off with a little treat for yourself. My focus this year is going to be on taking care of ME so that I am better for others. This is 100% based on the airplane logic of putting on your oxygen mask before helping someone else, but I really and truly believe it.

Here are my top gifts for myself that I believe make my life better, therefore making me better :) Plus… a lot of them are very fun.

1. Bose Headphones: For traveling (or for when you just need some quiet while reading your favorite smutty book), these are my absolute favorite headphones. I’ve tried a few different noise-cancelling headphones but these are comfortable, don’t squeeze your head too much, and stay charged for a long time. I highly recommend them, plus they come in a gorgeous matte dark green. BONUS: they’re on sale

2. Comfy robe: I’m definitely a bathrobe girl, mainly because I like feeling like I’m wearing a blanket. This robe is light enough to not sweat through it, but cozy enough to be able to work from home/read/lounge in happiness.

3. The best instant bronzing oil (not a tanner!) ever: This oil has a few different shades, so it can be applied to a wide range of skin-tones. It has the perfect amount of shimmer to it so that you instantly look glowy and toned up. Apply all over to give yourself an instant boost of confidence. Also, it smells like the beach.

4. I love a bougie candle. This Dyptique candle is universally loved and it has an amazing scent that isn’t too sweet. This is one of my favorite candle brands and its wax won’t clog your air filters. TIP: I love using the glass vessle as a vase/pen holder/etc once the candle is finished! Just fill the glass with hot soapy water to remove extra wax and wick.

5. I hear you like nudes? I’m very much into everything on this site. The monochromatic look is one of my favorites, but also I just love that they have a wide range of styles that are easily interchangeable. These are perfect for any capsule closet. Here’s one of my favorite pieces.

A few other favorite things? My Kindle (I read 43 books this year thanks to this and Kindle Unlimited), this Anthropologie candle knockoff from Target, fancy chocolates from this artisan chocolatier in the Atlanta area (they ship, too!).

… go treat yourself!

Someone send us a fishnet leg lamp, because we’ve won a major award! It’s been an amazing start to 2024 with the announcement that we’ve won the distinction of being the 2023 Boudoir Photographer of the Year by the Association of International Boudoir Photographers.

I (Sarah!) have been a boudoir photographer for almost 15 years and I’ve been a part of the Association of International Boudoir Photographers (AIBP) for nearly 10 of those years. This is an incredible organization that provides educational resources and community for boudoir photographers around the globe. There is an incredible retreat held every year that gives us all a chance to gather, learn, and get into boudoir shenanigans (of course). Being named their 2023 Boudoir Photographer of the year is a HUGE honor because it means that I was selected by my peers to receive this recognition!

I fully plan on displaying my award front and center in my studio as well as bragging about it constantly for the next 365 days ;)

Thank you to all of our clients that trust our studio, trust our vision, and trust ME to give you great images!
