So, who's behind the camera?

I was actually born right here in Fallbrook, California, but I was raised in Hawaii. I'm a military brat turned military spouse, and these days I call Oceanside home with my husband and our two cats.

I'm half Japanese and half Irish, which is why I chose to make my name part of the brand. Colleen means "Irish girl," and Tomomi represents my Japanese heritage.

You'll even find a little piece of my birthday in my logo, the hawthorn flower, which represents the month of May.

Basically, there's a little bit of me woven into everything around here.

my Boudoir journey

Once I found boudoir, I knew I wanted to do it right.

Since then, I've made it my mission to continually educate myself and become the best boudoir photographer I can be. I've invested in mentorships, workshops, and countless hours learning the art behind beautiful boudoir photography; from lighting and posing to creating an experience where my clients feel comfortable, confident, and completely themselves.

I also had the opportunity to work as an Associate Photographer at a well-known boudoir studio in Claremont, CA. Although that studio has since closed, the experience and the incredible people I met along the way, played a huge role in shaping the photographer I am today.

And after all these years, I still believe in boudoir just as much as I did when I started.

There's something incredibly powerful about seeing yourself through a different lens. For me, and for so many of my clients, boudoir has created a newfound sense of confidence and a better relationship with our bodies.
