🖤JOIN US TONIGHT🖤 I am LOVING the response from our Let's Talk About Sex series!!! At our most recent one, we discussed mental health and the impact of our relationships with others and how they have shaped our sexuality. We also decided to mix things up a bit! After hanging out in the studio beds, sipping on wine and enjoying charcuterie, we headed Downtown to party the night away! We mayyy have not gotten back to the studio until around 2am. I had an absolutely blast with the ladies and it was such a great mix of fun and deep conversation! This month we will be focusing on one of my favorite topics: Kinks! Join us and chat as we discuss things that may be a bit taboo. Perhaps you may learn more about yourself in the process! When: Saturday, August 17th from 7pm-9pm Where: LeZandra Photography's Downtown Norfolk Studio #downtownnorfolk #granbyst #757localbiz #757collective #hrva #hamptonroadsphotographer

I've been working on the blog post about our Portland trip this past week in between sessions. We came back to three shoots in four days and I mayyy have stayed up until 5am editing images. I am essentially 💀💀💀 I just had to take a moment to stop and thank this dude. I love traveling by myself and I had gotten so used to doing so over the years. There is so much to be learned from solo travel and I always love escaping by myself. But in he came. He carries my bags and massages my aching feet at night after we have spent the days exploring new places. He plans a trip like no other, although this trip was entirely my surprise to him! He is my favorite adventure partner and I cannot wait to explore the world with him! Also, I hope you guys are ready for a doozy of a blog post! This is a long one but I definitely think it will be worth reading! #pdx #oregon #portlandoregon #pnw #pdxnow #portlandphotographer #travelportland #portlandia #travel #wanderlust #explore #travelgram #instatravel #adventurepartner #radlovestories #loveandwildhearts

If this doesn’t sum up our trip to Portland so far, I don’t know what does! 😂😂😂 This is what happens when you’re engaged to a #BoudoirPhotographer. In April, he surprised me with a trip to New York where he planned everything out to perfection! This was my turn! I chose Portland because of the music scene and culture. I have always wanted to visit the Pacific Northwest. Growing up, I lived in the Bay Area for a bit and it was the first place that I had ever lived that I felt at peace and at home. I have been dying to get back to the west coast ever since! We both agreed that a relaxing vacation would be awesome. Our idea of relaxation has included a flashback dance cruise on the Columbia River, white water rafting down glacial rivers, Stripperoke at The Devils Point (and yes, it’s just as amazing as it sounds x1000), and now we are heading to Seattle! We have been staying in a yurt that backs up to a nature reserve, and we have been greeted by donkeys, pigs, chickens, and a family of deer. To top it all off, I was finally able to meet fellow boudoir photographer Kara @thesensualphotographer and her husband in person! She and I bonded over our love for metal and boudoir life years ago and it was so great to hang out with her! This has been the most incredible relaxing vacation! I love to get away from time to time to mentally recharge and refresh my creativity. There has been so much growth happening lately and having so time to getaway and reflect has been so peaceful. Life is also too damn short to spend so much time working for things versus experiences. I don’t know how long I’ll be on this earth, and I want to make damn sure it’s spent being happy! #travelgram #pnw #portland #devilspoint #adventuretime #lifeawaits

Women hold all the power. They should use it like a whip, not offer it up like a sacrifice. #757 #757localbiz #757collective #hrvaboudoir #rvaboudoir #boldlyfeminine #girlpower #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #blackgirlmagic #melaninpoppin #blackbeauty
