Le Provocateur
I am a boudoir and erotic photographer. I wouldn’t dream of trying to sell you a photography session I wouldn’t personally participate in – so here you are!
One of the driving factors in my passion for this business is empowering beautiful women. I am particularly concerned with showing women who feel they are too flawed to be sexy that there is no such thing as too flawed! Every time I photograph a woman, even the most “perfect” of girls, they find something wrong with themselves that I wouldn’t have noticed had they not pointed it out. Fashion magazines and main stream media have skewed our body images so severely we have forgotten what natural beauty is!
I am especially interested in dispelling the “I’m too fat to do that” myth. I couldn’t think of a more perfect way than to post some of my own photos, and some very honest information.
My Stats
I am 5’5″ tall and weigh around 215lbs. I wear a size 18. I do not know what my BMI is, but I do know it falls under “obese” on the scale. I have had two children by c-section, and several other abdominal surgeries, leaving me with scars everywhere. My entire abdomen is covered in stretch marks, really dark ones! I am out of shape in every sense of the word. My boobs and my bottom have both traveled further south than I would like.
But I am still sexy.
I have flaws, but I am still HOT!
I hope that sharing these pictures gives at least one woman the courage to book a session with me in spite of her “flaws.” There’s nothing I love more than to make a woman say “I have never felt so beautiful.”
First off, this is me without ANY makeup or hair styling. Literally right after I rolled out of bed. Why post a photo like that? Because we always show everyone our “made up” selves. This is just “me.”
Some more “glam” photos…

Dr Sketchy’s Columbus
Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School Columbus is an artist event where hot models pose for your drawing, painting, or photographing pleasure. I was actually working the door for my beautiful BFF and client Viva Valezz! that night but I never leave home without my camera! Here are a few shots of the posing, drawing, and burlesque show afterward! This event was at East Village, which is no longer.
The lovely ladies of The Ooh La La’s are the models.
Look like fun? Check out Dr Sketchy’s Columbus for upcoming events!
OK this is some random guy from the crowd, how awesome is that? Brave soul. There’s nothing like a little crowd interaction!

Viva! and The Velvet Hearts
If you know anything about the Columbus Ohio burlesque scene you have heard of Viva! and The Velvet Hearts. They are a troupe of performers who always put on a fantastic show. I am lucky to call them clients and friends.
I have done lots of promotional photography work for this troupe, and you will see them in lots of my provocative event photography!

Viva Valezz!
Viva Valezz! was my very first pin up photography girl. The first time we met in person we shot for a few hours and had a great time. Had that first shoot been with someone less personable who knows where I would be?
Viva! is a beautiful woman, and amazing burlesque artist. In fact she has a whole burlesque troupe Viva! and The Velvet Hearts! I have photographed Viva! A LOT – many of my favorite images feature her, you will find her all over the site particularly in many of the provocative events I shoot. I have done a lot of work for her promotional materials as well, it is quite possible if you have looked at one of her posters and thought “I wonder who took that picture” it was me!
Be sure to go check Viva! and The Velvet Hearts out on their website!
