Nice to meet you!

Welcome, and thanks for visiting my website!  My name is Patty and these are my images!  I’m a boudoir and wedding photographer located in Raleigh, NC.

I often get asked the question “how did you get started shooting boudoir photography?”  Twelve years ago I was a full time wedding photographer looking to branch out.  A lot of wedding photographers will also do family portraiture, but in order to be a good children's photographer, you need to have a very energetic, almost goofy, approach to keep their interest and draw them out and that’s just not me.  I'm very calm and relaxed when I shoot.  I decided to give boudoir photography a try instead.  What I found was that my laid back, relaxed approach to shooting, while no good with kids, was perfect for bringing out the best in nervous women.   And I LOVE it!  Self-esteem and self-confidence are issues all of us as women deal with, and a boudoir session is the perfect way to help see ourselves from a different angle, both literally and figuratively.   I find it incredibly rewarding!
