Self-Care Isn't Selfish: 3 Ways to Prioritize Yourself and Ditch the Burnout Cycle!
Feeling constantly drained, like you're running on fumes? You're not alone! Many of us struggle to prioritize self-care, leading to burnout, resentment, and neglecting our well-being. But here's the secret: taking care of yourself is not selfish, it's essential.
Here are 3 ways to break the cycle of burnout and prioritize your well-being:
1. Identify Your Needs: Take time to reflect on your individual needs. Do you crave quiet time alone, or do you recharge through social connection? Are you energized by physical activity or creative expression? Understanding your unique needs is the first step to creating a self-care routine that truly nourishes you.
2. Schedule Self-Care, Not Just Work: Treat self-care like any other important appointment. Block time in your calendar for activities that replenish your energy, whether it's reading a book, taking a relaxing bath, or spending time in nature. I myself have been putting a fun thing on the schedule for 3 months out. So far comedy shows have been thee best “medicine”
3. Practice Setting Boundaries: Learn to say "no" to protect your time and energy. Don't feel obligated to take on additional responsibilities that leave you feeling drained or stretched too thin. Setting healthy boundaries allows you to prioritize your well-being and avoid burnout.
Remember, you are worthy of prioritizing your well-being. Taking care of yourself is not an act of selfishness, but an investment in a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life!
This babe scheduled her session after realizing her life wasn’t her own. She started fresh and is finding herself all over again. ❤️
Starting Over
Last week, I talked with a woman starting over. She didn't initially tell me what she was starting over from, so I politely asked what she was starting over from.
She just left an 8-year relationship. Breaking free from a toxic relationship is a courageous feat, and the journey toward healing is not for the weak at heart. It doesn’t happen overnight, it doesn’t happen in months, it happens over time.
This babe took a leap of faith, and left. She had no idea what was next, but she knew it was going to be better and I applaud her for that.
I will keep you posted on her shoot, ominously, of course.
Acknowledge and Accept the Reality: The first step is acknowledging that you're in a toxic relationship. This can be difficult, as it involves accepting that someone you care for may not be treating you with the respect and care you deserve. Emotional abuse is often subtle, so it's important to be honest with yourself about the situation.
Build Your Support System: Breaking free from a toxic relationship is rarely easy, and having a strong support system is crucial. Lean on trusted friends and family members. Consider therapy to help you process your emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and gain strength for the journey ahead.
Develop a Safety Plan: Leaving a toxic relationship can be dangerous, especially if your partner is abusive. Create a safety plan for yourself and any children involved. This may include securing important documents, having a safe place to stay, and developing a code word with a trusted friend to signal when you need help.
Remember, breaking free from a toxic relationship takes time and courage. Don't be afraid to seek help from professionals and prioritize your well-being. There is a brighter future waiting for you.

Non Lingerie Ideas
A boudoir photo shoot is all about capturing intimate and sensual moments, and there are plenty of options for attire that don't involve lingerie. Here's a list of non-lingerie ideas for women to wear during a boudoir photo shoot:
Bodysuit: A form-fitting bodysuit can be just as alluring as lingerie and offers various styles and textures.
Silky Robe: A luxurious silk or satin robe can be draped seductively to tease the viewer's imagination.
Men's Dress Shirt: Wearing an oversized men's dress shirt can create a sensual, "borrowed from your partner" look.
Sweater: A cozy, oversized sweater can add a touch of comfort and intimacy to your photos.
Button-Down Shirt: Unbuttoned or partially undone, a button-down shirt can create a playful and revealing look.
Off-the-Shoulder Top: An off-the-shoulder blouse can be both elegant and sensual, showing a hint of skin.
Corset: While not traditional lingerie, a corset can offer a vintage and sophisticated vibe.
Lace or Sheer Bodysuit: These options are a bit more conservative than traditional lingerie but still provide an alluring appeal.
Tulle Skirt: A flowing, sheer skirt can add a touch of fantasy and whimsy to your boudoir shoot.
Oversized Sweater or Cardigan: Snuggling up in an oversized knit can create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. This is one of my personal favorites!
Crop Top and High-Waisted Panties: This combination is stylish and comfortable, with a hint of sensuality.
Vintage-Inspired Outfits: Consider retro dresses, lingerie-inspired camisoles, or high-waisted briefs for a vintage aesthetic.
Lace Kimono: A lace kimono or kimono-style robe can be both elegant and sensual.
Thigh-High Socks: Pair them with a long shirt, oversized sweater, or even a casual tee for a playful look.
Sports Jersey: If you or your partner have a favorite sports team, wearing their jersey can add a personal touch to your shoot.
Ultimately, the choice of clothing for a boudoir photo shoot should reflect your personality, comfort level, and mood you want to convey in the photos.

Bridal Boudoir: Top 3 Things To Know
I have so many brides that come in looking to give THE gift of a lifetime to their groom. Sadly, I receive a lot of calls the week leading up to the wedding. 🙈
Plan to come in at least two months before the wedding date to allow for ample time to get everything in. To learn more about our detailed timelines, be sure to check out our video.
Try to plan your session after your bridal shower: you may receive some saucy gifts you can use for your gift.
Think about your skin and tan lines: We want you to feel and look flawless in your photos. A weekend away on the beach, paired with drinking means your skin will suffer. And you will most likely be dehydrated.
Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, joy, and celebration. But amidst the vows and festivities, there's also a unique opportunity to create a truly personal and unforgettable moment with your soon-to-be spouse. Here are 5 perfect times to surprise your partner with a special gift that goes beyond the "something borrowed, something blue":
1. The Getting Ready Suite: Imagine the nervous excitement as you both prepare for the ceremony. Present a heartfelt gift like a framed photo collage of your relationship, a handwritten letter expressing your love, or a piece of jewelry engraved with a special message. It sets a loving tone for the day.
2. Before the First Look: Nerves are high, anticipation is building. This is the perfect time for a small, intimate gift exchange. A personalized watch engraved with the wedding date, a custom cufflink set with a meaningful inscription, or a delicate bracelet symbolizing your everlasting bond are all thoughtful choices.
3. During the Ceremony Vows: This is a powerful moment where your love story takes center stage. Surprise your partner by incorporating a symbolic gift into your vows. It could be a promise ring representing your commitment, a framed artwork reflecting your shared passions, or even a handwritten book of love poems you've penned yourself.
4. Private Moment During Reception: Steal a quiet moment amidst the dancing and celebratory chaos. Present a gift that celebrates your partner's individuality. A weekend getaway to a dream destination, tickets to a concert they've been wanting to see, or a personalized gift basket filled with their favorite things all showcase your attentiveness and care.
5. The Grand Exit: As you leave the celebration hand-in-hand, surprise your partner with a final, sentimental gift. Sparklers spelling out a loving message, a framed photo of the two of you on your first date, or even a custom-made song played by the band are all grand gestures that end your wedding day on a truly personal and unforgettable note.
Remember, the most meaningful gift doesn't have to be extravagant. It's about injecting a personal touch into your wedding day and creating a lasting memory that celebrates your love story.
My boudoir session 🙌🏼
Boudoir is for YOU.
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard the phrase I want to give a boudoir shoot to my partner for their birthday, anniversary, special occasion, etc. At the end of every boudoir session each babe says, “Wow, this was really for me!”
My session last fall with Dollhouse Boudoir was 100% for me. It’s been a ROUGH few years, to say the least. And I am 50 pounds heavier than I was a few years back among many other life changes.
But guess what? I love love love these photos! I also love how tan I am too 😜 To date, this is my
2014: Trying to get my mom mojo back.
2016: Celebrating losing 15 pounds.
2017: Celebrating losing another 15 pounds, however, a week after I booked my shoot I found out I was pregnant! So in the photos I was 12 weeks along and my photographer made it look like I wasn’t pregnant!
2018: I did this session 8 weeks after I had my second child: to prove a point that boudoir is beautiful at any size. And my milk boobs were amazing. 😜
2020: I had this shoot booked for February 2020. I had some personal stuff pop up so I had to reschedule for later. And then, you know the world collapsed. Between February and June when my session took place, I gained 20ish pounds. Guess what? STILL LOVED THEM. I felt like one hot momma ready to take on the world!
2022: My most recent one is below. Scroll to the bottom to see everything over the years!

Researching Potential Photographers
As you look for potential boudoir photographers in the Bay Area, it’s essential to do your research. Look at the photographer’s portfolio and read reviews to make sure they have experience with shoots similar to yours.

Understanding Boudoir Photography Packages
When looking for boudoir photographers in the Bay Area, take into account the different types of packages they offer. Some may include one or two looks and an hour’s worth of shooting time, while others may provide more extensive services like professional hair and makeup, multiple looks and locations, and several hours of shooting time. It’s important to understand exactly they offer and do they have what you are looking for?
Scheduling a Consultation
Once you have narrowed down your list of possible boudoir photographers, the next step is to schedule a consultation. Taking some time to meet and discuss the logistics with a photographer may reveal details that cannot be found through researching online. This will also give you the opportunity to get to know them better, ask questions about their experience, and learn how comfortable they make you feel so that you can choose the most suitable photographer for your boudoir photography session.
Making the Final Decision and Asking Questions
During the consultation or meeting, ask questions such as what style would they prefer shooting and if they have an idea of the type of photos you are interested in. Also, make sure to discuss pricing and payment arrangements, ensure that their timelines fit within your own, and inquire about any additional services offered (such as prints, albums or digital files). Ask for a portfolio of work and review the photographer’s online galleries before making a final decision.
How long until I receive my finished products?
Are they digital only or printed? Albums?
When do the shoots take place? Weekdays? Weekends?
Do you have a studio, or do you shoot in my home? Or an Airbnb?
I hope this guide helps you in your hunt for the perfect photographer for you. Cheers! Tiffany
Time for a change
This babe has done shoots before in the past: but never for herself. This time it was 100% about her. She loves Marilyn Monroe, so we did a throwback to that era. I think she killed it!
Hollywood glamour boudoir photography is all about creating a vintage, sophisticated, and seductive look. Here are some ideas to help you achieve that Hollywood glamour boudoir vibe:
Classic Hollywood hairstyle: Consider styling your hair in vintage Hollywood waves or a sleek updo. You can also add some hair accessories such as a hair comb, a hairpin or a hairband.
Bold makeup: For a glamorous look, opt for bold makeup with a red lip, winged eyeliner, and dramatic lashes. You can also add some highlighter to give your skin a glowing finish.
Glamorous lingerie: Choose lingerie that is elegant and sophisticated, such as a vintage-style lace bra and panties or a silk slip. You can also accessorize with stockings, garter belts, and high heels.
Art deco inspired set: For your boudoir photo shoot, consider a set design that is inspired by the art deco style of the 1920s and 1930s. This could include geometric patterns, metallic accents, and luxurious fabrics.
Vintage props: Incorporate vintage props such as a feather boa, a vintage telephone, a record player, or an antique mirror to enhance the Hollywood glamour theme.
Soft lighting: Create a soft and romantic mood by using diffused lighting or natural light. Consider using lamps, candles, or fairy lights to add warmth and ambiance to your boudoir photos.
Remember that the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in your skin. These ideas are meant to inspire you and help you create a glamorous and memorable boudoir photo shoot.
Where to Find Outsider Experiences in San Francisco
I am always asked why people do a boudoir session, I simply reply: life changes. I see lots of women in just wanting to feel like themselves again, celebrating a divorce, marriage, baby bump, fitness competition, and so on. The possibilities are endless.
This babe came in only 6 months before: and she had so much to fill me in on! Her first shoot was very sweet and innocent. This one pushed the boundaries! Love love love!
She added a little bit of kink to her session with a whip and restraints. Every session that I have that pushes the limits is a fun and new learning experience. So whats next?
If you are looking for a great place for experiences, check out Black Thorn in Oakland. There is also Inner Sanctum too.
Blindfolds & Masks: These create an air of mystery and intrigue, perfect for building anticipation. Opt for luxurious materials like lace or satin for an added touch of elegance.
Feathers: Delicate feathers can add a playful and sensual touch. Imagine playful feather boas draped around your shoulders or a feather fan strategically placed for a touch of intrigue.
Handcuffs & Cufflinks: Used tastefully, these props can hint at a playful power dynamic. Opt for elegant silver or gold cuffs for a touch of sophistication, or explore velvet or leather for a more playful vibe.
Remember: Communication is key! Discuss your prop ideas with your photographer beforehand to ensure they complement your vision and create the desired aesthetic. With a little creativity and careful selection, props can elevate your boudoir session and help you unleash your inner siren.

She truly gets to let loose. This nurse and momma has been taking care of everyone nonstop. She shoot was a chance to take a break from the day to day and have blast. I think she did.
Tattoos are a form of artistic expression that has been practiced for thousands of years. They allow individuals to express their creativity, identity, beliefs, and emotions through a permanent art form on their body. Tattoos can range from simple designs to elaborate pieces that cover large areas of the body.
For many people, getting a tattoo is a deeply personal and meaningful experience. It can be a way to commemorate a loved one, honor a cultural or spiritual tradition, express oneself, or mark a significant life event. Tattoos can also be a form of rebellion or a way to challenge societal norms and expectations.
Tattoo artists are skilled professionals who use their creativity and technical abilities to bring their clients' visions to life. They work closely with their clients to design custom pieces that reflect their individuality and personal style. The process of getting a tattoo can also be a collaborative and therapeutic experience, as clients often share personal stories and experiences with their artists.
In recent years, tattoos have become more mainstream and widely accepted as a legitimate form of art and self-expression. Many tattoo artists have gained recognition as respected artists in the broader art world, and tattoo conventions and exhibitions have become popular events. Tattoos can also serve as a way for individuals to express their support for social and political causes, such as LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, or environmental activism.
I myself have no tattoos: but I love them! I’m too afraid of needles.
