Who I am

Hey, I’m Justice, a 27-year old photographer dedicated to capturing life’s raw, authentic beauty through boudoir and birth photography.

My passion lies in helping you embrace your confidence, feel beautiful in your body, and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re stepping into your boldness with an intimate boudoir session or preserving the profound, emotional moments of welcoming new life, my goal is to capture your story in its purest form.

I am all about creating a relaxed, safe, and fun space where you can fully express yourself. The vibe? Completely chill, supportive, and judgement-free— with 420-friendly sessions available if that helps you unwind and fully embrace the moment!

For me, photography is more than just capturing stunning images, it’s about highlighting your essence and offering an experience that leaves you feeling radiant and celebrated. From intimate portraits to the beauty of birth, I’m here to document your journey in a way that feels real, personal, and truly unforgettable.

Let’s create something extraordinary together!
