A little forward? Well… that's probably why you're here, right?
I know how scary a boudoir photoshoot can feel. You're probably excited, nervous, and questioning every single thing about yourself at the same time.
Maybe you're wondering if you're too old, too curvy, too shy, or simply not confident enough.
Let me stop you right there.
You don't have to be young, skinny, perfectly toned, or naturally confident to do boudoir.
I know because I've been on the other side of the camera. When I booked my own boudoir session, I was so nervous I could have vomited. And then I got there and had the absolute best time.
I still look at those photos all the time. They remind me that I was brave enough to do something that scared me.
They remind me that even as a mom, even as I've gotten older, and even after my body has gone through a ton of changes…
I'm still sexy.
And so are you.
So let your hair down, get ridiculously glammed up, and let me show you the woman everyone around you already sees.
First things first… it's pronounced Ah-lee-sha. My parents apparently decided early on that I wasn't going to be following all the rules, starting with the spelling of my name. 😂
I'm a redheaded, freckle-faced, fast-talking, slightly sarcastic, witchy-loving photographer who is completely obsessed with women and the stories they carry.
I grew up in the Birdland neighbourhood on the Hamilton Mountain. If you know, you know. 😂 I'm not afraid to represent the Land, so of course I had to bring my Hamilton roots into the studio with me.
I've been a creative for as long as I can remember. I attended Sheridan College for Interior Design after also being accepted into their Visual Merchandising and Photography programs. I eventually spent years working as a visual merchandiser before photography pulled me in for good.
Fourteen years later, here I am.
And honestly? I can't imagine doing anything else.
Outside the studio, you'll probably find me drinking good coffee, eating something delicious, hanging out with my dogs, or watching gloriously trashy television.
And yes, I love The Kardashians.
I said what I said.
I've played soccer for 27 years, until an injury forced me to hang up my cleats. These days, you'll find me cheering for Brazil during the World Cup.

Craig and I have been married for 16 years and together for 19. I knew the first time I saw him that I'd marry him. Apparently, my Capricorn intuition was onto something.

You'll almost always find a Doberman by my side. My current shadow is Oona, a black-and-rust European Dobe who has absolutely no idea she's a dog.
Dog lover!
First, who doesn't want to be around hot babes all day? 😂
But honestly, it's so much more than that.
I believe every woman deserves to see herself as beautiful, desirable and worthy—no matter what stage of life she's in.
Throw away the “Yeah right, I could never look like that” scoff and let me prove you wrong.
It's my job to guide you through this experience, even when that means holding your hand along the way. You don't have to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to feel sexy in front of a camera.
That's my job.
And here's something I want you to remember:
Sexy is a feeling, not what you wear.
Lingerie, a white T-shirt, a cozy sweater—they're just tools we use to help bring that feeling out.
The best sound in my studio is the moment a woman realizes why she's here.
She stops picking herself apart.
She starts seeing herself as worthy, beautiful, loved and supported.
Your body is the one thing that has been with you through all of it.
Maybe it's time you showed her a little more love.
You've thought about it long enough. Let's make some fucking magic.
