There’s a moment in postpartum that nobody warns you about.

Not the first shower where you finally wash the hospital smell out of your hair.
Not the 3am feeding when the whole world is dark and quiet except the tiny heartbeat sleeping on your chest.
Not the way your hips still ache or how your belly feels like unfamiliar terrain under your own hands.

It’s that moment — weeks or months later — when you catch your reflection in a hallway mirror and almost don’t recognize her.

Your body has carried you through something holy.
And yet… you feel disconnected from her.
Like you’ve been living outside of yourself for a while.

I’ve been there too.

After every baby, I felt like pieces of me got scattered across the house: the soft, swollen parts; the exhausted parts; the powerful, primal parts; the version of me who could build a whole human being from scratch, but somehow forgot how to feel beautiful in her own skin.

That’s why postpartum boudoir matters so much to me.
It’s not about lingerie or posing or “getting your body back” — it’s about returning to yourself.

So if you’re a mom looking to reconnect with your body, honor how she’s carried you, and feel like you again…
this one’s for you.

Time to Reconnect With Yourself

Leaving your baby — even for a couple hours — can feel impossible. You’re tired. You’re touched out. You’re pouring from an empty cup and still telling yourself you’re fine.

But sacred space away from the noise is how you remember who you are outside of feeding schedules, diaper counts, and the swirling fog of the newborn stage.

Your session becomes a breath.

A reset.
A reconnection.
A “hi, I missed you” to the woman you were before and the woman you’re becoming now.

Get Pampered

Drape yourself in the full DR experience — the one crafted just for mothers who need a break, a softness, a moment to be taken care of.

From professional hair and makeup to curated wardrobe options to walking into a studio that feels like a sanctuary… everything is all-inclusive because you deserve an effortless escape.

All you have to do is show up.
We handle the rest.

Return to Your Body & Honor How She’s Carried You

Your body is a miracle and a damn powerhouse.

She stretched, shifted, bled, broke open, and rebuilt herself again to bring life Earthside. That deserves reverence — not shame, not rushing, not “I’ll do photos when I look like myself again.”

This is you.
Right now.
In the truth and tenderness of postpartum.

A boudoir session lets you slow down, breathe her in, place your palms over the places that feel new, and say:
Thank you for carrying us.

Feel Hot Again in the Skin You’re In

Please don’t wait to lose the “baby weight.”
Don’t wait for the stretch marks to fade.
Don’t wait for your stomach to shrink or your thighs to tighten or your skin to “go back.”

The world has already tried to convince you you’re not enough — but they’re so wrong.

You’re ready right now.

And I’ll prove it to you.

I’ll pose you from head to toe, guide you through light and shadow, shape your body into angles that celebrate your curves and softness, and help you see yourself the way others see you:

Beautiful.
Magnetic.
Alive.
Still you — and maybe even more powerful than before.

Manifest Your Inner MILF

Every mom has an inner MILF.

Some of them are sleeping.
Some of them are buried under spit-up and pumping schedules.
Some of them are already peeking through the cracks.

But she’s there.

And when you see your images — the curve of your shoulder, the fire in your eyes, the strength in your hips — something shifts.

You walk different.
You carry yourself different.
You see yourself different.

A luxury boudoir session doesn’t just capture your transformation — it ignites it.

Empowering Boudoir Photographs to Cherish

Your photos will become anchors.

Proof.
Reminders.
Artifacts of the woman who survived the hardest season and still found beauty in her own skin.

Whether you keep them tucked away as a love letter to yourself or share them with a partner who’s been cheering you on through it all — these images become heirlooms of your evolution.

Every postpartum mom I’ve photographed has held tight to her experience.
Because once you see yourself like this… you can’t unsee her.

Your babies deserve the fullest, most alive version of you.
And she deserves her moment to rise.

Let’s bring her back to life.

Explore the Déjà Revél experience.
See what an all-inclusive boudoir session really feels like.
Inquire now and start your postpartum reclamation.

We’re ready when you are!

It’s ok to admit it… no one deserves this experience more than you.
