All About Me!

My goal as a Boudoir Photographer is to make EVERY woman feel beautiful! In the end the pictures may be a gift for their significant other but it also allows me to give women the gift of feeling confident! I know most women think they could never do boudoir photos because of their size, skin tone, stretch marks, etc.. Well I'm here to tell them and show them that those things make us who we are! We are BEAUTIFUL!

Do you want to know more about your photographer? Well here you are so that’s a good assumption the answer is yes and here you will learn! I’m pretty much an open book so feel free to ask me anything, within reason that is! If you have read my “All about Me” blog post on my Kirsten Ray Photography blog, this is somewhat like it but I have edited to it fit this blog.  

My personality is pretty laid back. I’m a professional when it comes to business but once I get to know you I’m a fun professional. I like to joke around, I’m not up tight, and I’m definitely not all serious all the time. Every client I have had says in the end they feel like we have been friends for years and a majority of my boudoir clients and I do end up becoming friends.

Now on to the typical about me stuff. I’m 31, I have a 11 year old son who is in the 5th grade at Barr-Reeve. I’ve been married to my awesome husband since September 10, 2011. I graduated from Barr-Reeve in 2003. I didn’t play any sports or anything like that. My Junior and Senior year of High School I attended Twin Rivers Health Careers and became a CNA(certified nursing assistant) in 2002, when I was Junior. I started working in a nursing home at the age of 16. I just left the medical field at the end of 2016. I have worked in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health care for 17 years. I truly enjoy helping people and taking care of them.
My parents have been together for 37 years. I have a sister who is 24. She is engaged to the love of her life and has been w/ him for 5 or 6 years, I can’t keep up. I’ve had many experiences in my life and I thank God that I have family who is always there for me. Life should never be taken for granted! I have been taught that lesson many times over my lifetime.
I’ve loved photography since I was little and had a toy camera. When I actually started doing real photography I was in the 4th grade and I was in 4-H and did photography. I entered my project and won honorable mention and 1st place. I started my own photography business in 2014. I had been a second shooter/assistant for nearly 3 years prior to starting my own business. Even before I was a second shooter I did photography as a hobby and photographed just nature and landscape scenery.
