welcome
the girl behind the camera
A photographer, mama, and girlboss who has an obsession with the coast, sunshine, soda, and all the food. I was born and raised in Rhode Island but have a slight addiction with travel. Grab a snack + cozy up! I'm excited you're here and can't wait to hear how I can tell your story.
If I'm not behind a camera you may find me curled up with a book, sprawled out on the couch binging on The Vampire Diaries or Grey's Anatomy, and eating (basically anything deep fried, spicy, soupy, or chocolate covered). I have a slight addiction with Coca Cola + Mountain Dew...they are my version of coffee. I adore laughing and will dance no matter where I am. Give me the sun, sand, and coast and you'll make me a happy girl.
As a photographer, I tell your story as it unfolds. I encourage authentic moments and give direction when needed. The greatest joy for me is inspiring women to be unapologetically themselves. I am so blessed to be surrounded by women who truly believe in empowering one another. I adore my strong and beautiful Blush clients and I am so grateful to be on this journey called life with all of you.
"Kim was quick to reply with emails and answer any questions I had. On the day of my shoot she was just amazing to work with. She made me feel very comfortable, helped me style my outfits and guided me into poses. She was able to turn around the images to me in less than 2 weeks they all came out amazing! I can’t believe I look that good!! If you are considering booking a session with Kim just do it. It is so worth it. The experience was so invigorating and I can’t wait to see my future husbands reaction. The photos are beautiful and I just can’t recommend Kim enough!"

"Where do I begin, other than I CAN'T THANK KIM ENOUGH!!! I have never seen a more beautiful collection of pictures of myself before. To say I will cherish these for a lifetime is an understatement. Kim made this such a positive experience from the start, I felt so comfortable and left feeling so confident and great about myself. She is such a sweet, genuine person and extremely talented. If you are having doubts or unsure how you would do with Boudoir/Blush, booking with Kim is the way to go"

"I don’t even know where to begin. Kim is absolutely amazing. Never in a million years did I think I would be comfortable in doing a boudoir shoot. This gift is for myself and my husband-to-be. Kim made me feel so at ease and the session was so much fun! When I received the photos, I couldn’t even believe my eyes. They were beautiful and made me tear up. I would highly recommend Kim. I cannot wait to do this again and give his beautiful gift to my husband-to-be on our wedding day. Thank you, Kim, from the bottom of my heart on making me feel beautiful. You’re so amazing!"

the process
one step at a time
Blush sessions can be a bit intimidating, I know, I've been in front of the camera too. The first time I ever experienced boudoir was when I planned a session for my future husband. I understand how awkward it can feel. I understand that we have parts about our bodies that we aren't always 100% comfortable with. I understand maybe not feeling "sexy" enough to do a session. I struggled with self worth for a long time but I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be scary!
I will be there with you every step of the way. From helping you pick out outfits to guiding you into poses that flatter your body type. I want to hear about the things you love about your body and the things you would rather not focus on. I want to be your biggest cheerleader and a friend that will listen. Let's do this together.
Once you've decided to book with me you will choose the collection that works best for you. We will get your contract and invoice written up and signed. Then we can start planning for your session! I will send over a Pinterest board that will help you plan your outfits. It gives some ideas of what works and doesn't work depending on your style. I also have a list of places that are great for shopping if you decide to purchase some new lingerie!
When you arrive you can expect me to shoot some behind the scenes footage for your highlight video if you decided to purchase one. You will lay all of your outfits out and we will talk a little bit about what you love and don't love about your body. Finally, we will begin to photograph you! I promise it'll be fun!

preparing for your session
Let's talk about things that you can do to prepare for your boudoir session so you are ready to flaunt what your mama gave ya!
1. Plan your outfits. Try them on, make sure to move around in them. Pick outfits that compliment your body type. Keep them on hangers so they aren't wrinkled! Click HERE for outfit ideas.
2. Pay attention to the little details. Make sure to manicure your nails and toes. Shave and moisturize. Get a hair touch up in your need your roots done. Bring accessories that compliment your outfits.
3. Take care of your body. Make sure to eat and stay hydrated. Plan your session around that time of the month so you're feeling your best.
4. Not the best idea. Don't try a new makeup look sometimes that can break a session. Don't drastically change your hair. Don't wear tight clothing on the way to your session this can cause indentations on the skin. Don't fake tan. No tanning lotions, gels, or sprays. Additional editing can become costly if there are runs or smudges.
5. Practice. It's okay to practice your poses and smile in the mirror. Have fun with it!
6. Remember not all boudoir photographers are equal. Do your research and read reviews.
How do I book my session with you?
A $250 non-refundable retainer and signed contract is required to reserve your blush session date. No date will be considered booked without a signed and returned contract and retainer. Cash, check, and credit cards accepted.

Where is your studio?
The studio is located on my property in North Smithfield, RI. It is located at the end of my driveway with a sign that says BLUSH. You can see a photo of it below. The studio does not have a bathroom but you're more than welcome to use our home if needed.
faq
Will you keep my photos private?
When you receive your contract you will have the option of keeping your photos private or allowing me to share them. I never share a photo without written permission from my clients. All galleries are password protected.
faq
What if I refer a friend?
The boudoir industry can be very hard to market especially when the majority of clients prefer to keep their images private. Referrals are everything! If you refer someone and they book with me, you have the opportunity to earn cash, prints, or credit towards another session! If you book with a friend the same day you will both get a discount.
faq
What happens after my session?
You will receive an email with your online gallery, pin, and password! From that gallery you can download, share, and order prints. Make sure to download your images because your gallery will only be live for 1 year.
faq
How do I order my album?
If your collection includes an album you will create a favorites list within your gallery. Please name it ALBUM. If you have a 20 page album choose 20-30 images. If you have a 30 page album choose 30-40 images. Once you've chosen your favorites let me know and I will get started on your design.
faq
Where can I write a review on my experience?
Thank you so much for asking! We currently advertise on The Knot and love accepting reviews there. If you're up for it we would love for you to also share on Google reviews!
