Meet Keara
(pronounced Keer-uh, like Keira Knightly)
I'm glad you found my little corner of the internet! I created Head to Curve with folks of all shapes, shades and sizes in mind because diversity and inclusion are two principles that matter deeply to me. Growing up, I didn’t see bodies that looked like mine outright being celebrated or desired the same way the 'conventionally prettier' ones were. These same sentiments rang true when I scoured the local boudoir community in hopes of finding a photographer with a beautiful, yet inclusive portfolio. It was frustrating to feel like I wasn't good enough to be photographed in such an intimate way, even with all the work I was doing to shatter the walls of insecurity I built over the years.
I was encouraged by my circle of support to create the art and affirming space I wanted to see. In 2021, I introduced Head to Curve to the rest of the world and haven't looked back! I'm a healer at heart, and believe that curating an environment where others feel beautiful all for being themselves is 1000% my life calling. This path has given me the ability to connect with so many different people, encourage them to look at their body with kindness, and step outside of their comfort zone as they show up as their most authentic self. If you're ready for a different kind of boudoir experience, you've found the right place.
BOUDOIR SPECIALIST
My husband gifted me with my first DSLR camera during the pandemic. I learned lighting, composition and editing through photographing the two of us. That eventually turned into me photographing my friends, their friends, and their friends' friends. I found very quickly that boudoir is my absolute passion, and everything else slowly fell into place.
MOM SO HARD
Outside of the studio, you can usually find me wrangling kids. My better half and I have a set of Irish Quadruplets: 15 months separates our triplets from their baby sis. Life is VERY chaotic most days (and yes, we run off copious amounts of coffee), but the two of us wouldn't have it any other way!
ME + 🌮 = TRUE LOVE
Tacos are my absolute favorite food (hold the onions + tomatoes). I ate them throughout both of my pregnancies, and oddly enough, they became somewhat of a comfort food for me. If we happen to keep in touch after your session, there's a strong chance I might ask you to grab tacos with me some time!
WITCHY WOMAN
I've alway been a very spiritual and intuitive being. During the pandemic, I dove head first into all things metaphysical and felt SO empowered! I love working with crystals, reading tarot or oracle cards, and learning more about myself through astrology and my birth chart.
ARM CHAIR DETECTIVE 🔎
*I know* it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like true crime. You can usually find me curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee, a child or two in my lap, and a true crime podcast playing while I edit galleries or work on the not-so-exciting admin stuff.
LOVE NOTES:
EMMA
Working with Head to Curve made me feel absolutely incredible! I’ve never in my life felt so liberated, sexy, and empowered as I did in this shoot. Keara held a safe space for me to feel like the best version of myself, while also allowing me to get deep and talk about my relationship with my body. The shoot felt like I was hanging with a bestie, while simultaneously conquering fears and feeling like a badass. I can’t recommend this experience with Keara enough!
