Personal Motivation & Modeling Journey

How long have you been modeling, and how did you get started?

I auditioned to join a modeling school when I was 16. I began professionally modeling after graduating the modeling school and was later signed to an agency. Over time, I transitioned into coaching and scouting, working with both the school which I graduated from and agency I was signed with to develop new talent. Additionally, I competed in pageants across Texas and California throughout high school and college.

What inspired you to pursue modeling? Was there a particular moment or experience that sparked your interest?

I’ve always been passionate about beauty and fashion. As a child, I loved experimenting with my mom’s makeup and clothes, often sneaking her fashion magazines to admire the latest trends.

What types of modeling have you done before, and how does boudoir compare?

I’ve worked in commercial, editorial, and runway modeling, but boudoir holds a more personal meaning for me. It allows individuals to embrace their true selves or explore a side of themselves they might not often express. There’s something deeply empowering, fun, and freeing about it.

How would you describe your personal style as a model?

I love embracing my most feminine, sensual side, but I also enjoy stepping outside the box and exploring different alter egos. Concept shoots are especially exciting for me—they allow for creativity, transformation, and storytelling in a way that feels limitless.

How do you balance photo shoots with other aspects of your life?

My schedule fills up quickly, so I always plan ahead, often months ahead!

She has a rare talent for making even the wildest concepts come to life, and she does it brilliantly. On top of that, she creates an environment where you feel completely comfortable and confident.

It is a great way to add to your portfolio to show your versatility.

Tips And Advice

How did you prepare for your shoots? Did you do anything special in terms of mindset, outfits, or self-care?

I prepare for a shoot by carefully trying on each outfit to see how it fits and moves with my body, exploring different angles to ensure it photographs well. Leading up to the shoot, I prioritize hydration, rest, and stretching to keep my body feeling and looking its best. I also pack a well-stocked model bag with my outfits, including a backup, along with a makeup bag containing essentials like makeup wipes, hairspray, and bobby pins. A bottle of water is a must-have, as staying hydrated is key to maintaining energy and a fresh look throughout the session.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone considering a boudoir photoshoot, what would it be?

Just go for it! Don’t overthink it—trust me, you’ll be so glad you did. It’s an investment in yourself and a powerful act of self-care. Not only will you feel amazing, but it will also give your confidence a major boost!
