“My shoot with Davina was an absolute dream. She created such a safe and empowering space for me.”
“I walked in and immediately noticed her aura is so welcoming and comforting. I felt so free to express myself and trust my body to flow through poses with no pressure or fear. During the shoot she played some of my favorite songs to set the vibe with intention. She also showed me my photos periodically throughout the shoot. This really helped me understand the angles and feel good about what we were creating.
I left with my heart smiling and an overwhelming feeling of self love and joy. I couldn’t recommend her enough. It was truly an honor.”

“Creating with Davina was a very beautiful experience, she creates an environment where you have the opportunity to be your most authentic self.”
“Not only is it a safe space, but also one where you are welcomed to let your guard down. We shared laughs and smiles through the shoot. Full of wisdom and passion for what she does, you can feel the energy when she talks about her love for helping people through these barriers with self love whether it is talking with them or through the lens. I felt so comfortable through the entire time and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity and privilege to feel good in my skin while having these moments captured.”

“I have always wanted to do a boudoir shoot, but as a trans masc, nonbinary person with a large chest, the thought that the photos would reflect the artist’s vision of who I could be, rather than what feels true to me was enough to keep me from even looking for a photographer.”
“That’s why, when Davina put out a model call for ‘male/trans masc models’, I responded without hesitation. Reading her post, and during every interaction I’ve had with Davina since, I have witnessed parts of myself soften.
Coming out at 30 meant that, for decades, I had allowed others to tell me how I was supposed to love my body, and yet, feeling at home in it was a concept I felt I would never fully grasp. There was an emptiness I felt anytime someone would tell me that I should be happy, that they should be so lucky, that people pay good money for those…
That emptiness, I now know, was the result of never feeling truly seen. 5 years later, just 4 days before this shoot, I turned 35 - and I couldn’t have asked for a greater gift.
There is magic in these photos - Davina created the space where I was comfortable letting myself not only be seen, but seen honoring parts of myself - both energetic and physical - that I hide in many spaces, whether for my own safety or expression. When Davina sent the photos, I felt a nervousness flood my system, but as soon as I opened the gallery, I actually gasped - I was sitting face-to-face with a version of myself that I didn’t know I was capable of showing.
Baring witness to my own softness and femininity while intentionally exploring my masculinity was exactly what I didn’t know I needed - and I can’t wait to continue unfolding through collaboration, with Davina and others who bring this kind of open, passionate energy to their art.”

“Something I love about creating with Davina is that it’s not just a ‘photo shoot’, it’s an experience.”
“After our shoots, not only do I feel seen, but I feel beautiful just as I am.
Unconfined from societal norms. I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia for the majority of my life, and that burden has been eased so much thanks to the safe, sacred place she provides during her boudoir sessions.
I’ve always used art for self-expression as a form of therapy, and as a mental health advocate, I’m a firm believer in the power of self-love. Davina’s art cultivates this.
On the journey to self-love is sitting with ourselves and embracing ourselves in our most vulnerable form—something Davina effortlessly captures in her work! It’s truly healing. I am so thankful for art we’ve created together and for all the art we’ve yet to create.”

“I have never felt more comfortable and cared for during a photo shoot than I have with Davina.”
“She makes me feel safe enough to be truly vulnerable and genuine, which makes the experience and the photographs even more beautiful.
Working with her is more than just taking pictures; every shoot with her feels like a reconnection with myself. She is kind, professional, and a true artist. Her clients' emotional experience is her priority, and it shows in her photography. I have worked with Davina multiple times, and I'm excited to continue working with her!”

“I did my first boudoir photo shoot with Davina and had an incredible experience! She went above and beyond, always making sure my comfort was the top priority.”
“With gentle direction instead of hard posing, Davina creates a collaborative environment making the model feel like a valued part of the shoot. Mostly what I heard from behind the camera was "that's so pretty!"
She works quickly and the turnaround to receive the photos was no time at all! The photos came out so stunning! Davina has such a beautiful eye for photography using 'old world' techniques to manipulate the physical space and create a gorgeous environment for photography. I'm so thrilled to have these beautiful photos and to be able to see myself in a light (figuratively and literally) that I never have before.”

“I had a shoot with Davina and it was simply amazing.”
“Her space is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. Her energy made me feel super comfortable and confident.
Photography can be very vulnerable and Davina made sure I felt like my best self. The photos are the most beautiful I’ve seen. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone wanting a beautiful and empowering photoshoot.”

“Davina always delivers in creating a safe, intimate space during our shoots.”
“I always appreciate her communication and check-ins and there is never any pressure to try poses you aren’t comfortable with. She offers gentle guidance and coaching which I always appreciate since modeling doesn’t come naturally to me.
I’ve found my confidence growing during our shoots and when I see the final edits, I’m always blown away by the results. She is able to transport you into another world with her photography and capture you in ways you’ve never seen yourself.
Personally, doing photoshoots with her has been very healing for my self image. You can tell Davina has an eye for natural beauty and has the skill to capture her vision behind the lens.
I highly recommend booking a shoot with Davina if you are ready to tap into your inner goddess with the support of someone who cares as much about the model’s wellbeing as the shot.”
