Yes! A portrait experience with a badass photographer can actually be life changing.
​
​(that is an actual text from a client a few months ago).
​
First let me start by saying, just like most of you, I am on a journey to love myself fully and without apologies. Thanks to my own boudoir experience and journey twenty years ago, I feel better than I did when I was 20. It's all about how you FEEL and how much confidence you have. That's where I come in.

I've been working in the boudoir industry since 2008. After I did my first boudoir session (as a model) back in 2005, it changed my life over night. Years of shame and awkwardness turned into confidence and freedom. At 34, I was a new woman, who FELT better than I did at 20 (and like I said earlier, I still do).

​​I became obsessed with sharing the experience with as many women as possible and after spending years assisting a fellow photographer as her posing coach, I decided to resign from my 10 year teaching career and go back to school for photography and design.
I started Powder Puff Pinups in 2008, and have been changing the lives of women everywhere, ever since, by showing them what I see from behind the lens. Sometimes, even more importantly, teaching them how to be confident in their own skin.
When you work with me, sometimes it's not just a photoshoot, it's a whole mindset shift. I take a little bit of mindset coaching (when needed), mixed in with 20 years of experience making women look amazing plus a few industry secrets, along with me being your personal hype girl and showing you the back of the camera, and giving you feedback on what looks great and add it all up to create magic and results. You will love your images!
Whether you choose to wear business clothes, lingerie, fluffy goddess dresses and crowns or a costume, or even go fully nude or implied. You are ART!

In the 15+ years I have been photographing women, I have worked with over two thousand women of every shape, size, age and body style. I have a loyal family of repeat clients who have worked with me at least 10 times and come back every year, but I frequently work with women who have never ever done a photoshoot before.

Feel confident knowing none of your images will be shared or posted unless YOU give permission for them, individually, after you have seen the final images.

​​​​See yourself from a new perspective when you are in your best light, photographed from your best angles, in your most flattering poses, with someone (me) reminding you to making cute faces. ​​​​
​​​​
I know you don't know where to start or what to wear. From the moment you book your session, I will start guiding you along my process.

First we will choose the sets and locations that fit your style best (I have a private studio in St Petersburg where most of my sessions take place, but I also travel often and offer destination and on location sessions.

If you're not local to St Pete, check my current travel schedule or get on my email list to work with me in your city. Or come visit the beautiful city of St Petersburg , on the Gulf of Mexico. When you book , get my visitor's guide and recommended places to stay. Ask about a "Visit Sunnie" package for fun adventures, site seeing and photos all around the city all weekend.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​​​
Once the sets are chosen, I will help you in choosing your outfits. We can even do a zoom call or a meetup if you want advice on what looks best.
Keep your natural style or choose to add professional hair and makeup with or team of amazing stylists.
​
Most women worry about posing and facial expressions, but I will be with you every step of the way coaching you on how to pose, when to point your toes, how to hold your arms and tricks to make a variety of facial expressions.

Many women say that they are waiting until they feel brave enough but trust me, you do not need to wait until you feel perfect to do your session. Your session will make you see how perfect you look right now. I also offer sexy silhouettes in studio and on the beach. Silhouettes will blow you away when you see your shape outlined.
​

​
​
​
​
But remember, it's not just the intimate photography. I specialize in all women's portraiture: Business branding, goddess portraits, headshots, pinup, bridal boudoir, maternity and even bachelorette and birthday parties.
​
Schedule your consultation, let's start planning the session that's perfect for you.
