When I opened my boudoir studio in Industry City, NY, I must admit that part of me was thinking, “What the hell are you doing? Aren’t you comfortable with your life now?” Back then, I was shooting boudoir sessions in hotels, and didn’t worry about overhead or an initial investment.

But I went ahead and chased my dreams! Once I signed the paperwork, I stood in my empty studio and wondered what I would want my second home to look like. I knew I’d want a space where I could do my own dream boudoir session. After many sleepless nights deciding how to create various backdrops in one space, my studio came to life! And yes, it took many wallpaper orders!

In 2023 I celebrated 5 years of my official studio space in Industry City.  The moral of my story is: Never be afraid to take a leap of faith. Sometimes you need to lose sleep over things you love. Follow your dreams and never stop believing in yourself!
