Meet The Confident Team!
We’re here to help you fall unapologetically in love with yourself!
Hey, girl! I’m Olivia aka your personal hype girl and photographer.
I’m a wife, twin mom to the cutest boy/girl twins you’ll ever lay your eyes on, dog mom, and I love my friends & family fiercely.
I began my boudoir photography journey in November 2018 (wow, how the time has flown by) after serving in the U.S. Army for almost 8 years. To be honest, being a boudoir photographer - or any kind of photographer - was never the plan. I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and planned on serving in the military until I retired. But after serving in a difficult & toxic workplace and draining divorce from my first husband while active duty, I knew it was time to do something that lit my soul on fire. Something that I felt pure passion for and woke up excited about. I was sick of waking up feeling sick to my stomach waiting to see what the day had in store for me.
When I left the Army, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I was working on getting my master’s degree at the time and I can’t explain what came over me but I woke up one morning and basically said f*ck it. I want to be a boudoir photographer.
I always had a passion for photography but never pursued it. I knew a couple of things: I loved helping my girl friends feel beautiful and I loved photography. So that day I enrolled in my first educational course for boudoir photography and my passion for building women’s confidence has grown every year since!
I have seen first hand how life changing this experience is for ALL women. I truly believe that boudoir is one of the most liberating and affirming experiences of a woman’s life.
Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself, friend ;) It’s time for your #CONFIDENTSZN
Your hype girl,
Olivia
Each bad ass babe on my team has had a boudoir experience (myself included!). I feel that it is so important that we walk the walk when we tell everyone else how empowering this experience TRULY is. We know first hand what it’s like to be terrified to step foot in front of the camera - unsure of how we will look or if we’re not going to love what we see in the photo. We have all of the same fears that we fight day in and day out just like all of our clients. But we’re willing to put in the work with you & walk alongside you through your journey (insert a big hug through the screen here)
Ashleigh | Studio Manager
Meet Ashleigh! Chaos coordinator and right hand (wo)man might be a more appropriate job title for her considering she really makes everything move smoothly from handling phone consultations, email correspondence, product delivery, and everything in between!
Originally from Delaware, she’s been all over the world while serving in the Air Force and ultimately landed in Fairbanks where she retired and chose to stay. She’s an amazing mom to 3 boys, avid romance reader and owns a small business making gorgeous tumblers (and so much more).
Brittany | Hair and Makeup Artist
Meet Brittany! Brittany is our lead hair and makeup artist for the studio! She’s beyond talented in many ways especially in helping clients feel gorgeous before ever stepping foot in front of the camera!
Brittany is the only team member that is born and raised from Fairbanks! She knows our incredible community like nobody else. Outside of the studio, she can be found in the salon continuing her work with women! Much like the rest of my team - Brittany is a jack of all trades and is incredibly artistic. She can sing, paint, draw, party plan like no other and so much more. She’s one of the hardest working women I know and loves to make very woman and friend feel special.
