The Story
The 100 Moms Project was born from a heartfelt conversation between Jill, a Boudoir Photographer and Relationship Coach and Courtney, an Esthetician at Natura Skin Boutique. As they caught up over coffee, they reflected on a shared truth—too many moms pour endlessly into others while neglecting themselves.
As mothers who work in the self love space, Jill and Courtney, know firsthand that self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. So many moms put themselves last, whether by default or circumstance, without understanding the compounded weight of responsibility, the power of self-investment and the belonging and community it can bring as a byproduct . A mom who feels supported, cared for, and empowered shows up differently in her life. She cultivates a growth mindset, radiates confidence, and elevates those around her. That realization sparked a bigger vision—to create something tangible for the women of Western New York.
The 100 Moms Project is the first step toward that mission. This initiative will help fund To the Roots, a nonprofit dedicated to providing self-care services and luxury experiences to moms who need them most. Because when moms thrive, families and communities do too. Join us in making self-love accessible to every mom.
Why This Project Matters
When we support the mother's in our community, we aren't just supporting her, but every person that woman touches. Her children, her partner, her friends, and coworkers.
When she is supported everyone in her life feels the impact.
Photography in itself is a time stamp. It gives us the ability to mark a moment that you may look back upon with wonder, excitement, and transformation.
This project to photograph 100 women is to give them that experience of being seen for who they are right now- not who they used to be or who they will become but for all that they are right now!
The mission of this project is twofold, give moms a change to give back to themselves with self care and connection while also support future moms do the same for themselves.
And the bonus we also are support our own woman owned business here in Western New York.
When mothers are supported, they are
more likely to be engaged in their communities, volunteer, and contribute to local economies

What Is Intimacy Coaching — and Do I Really Need It?
What Is Intimacy Coaching — and Do I Really Need It?
Have you ever felt deeply disconnected from yourself—like you were going through the motions, performing rather than experiencing your life?
Maybe you’ve tried therapy, read self-help books, or journaled your heart out… yet something still feels missing.
That’s where Intimacy Coaching comes in.
So, What Is Intimacy Coaching?
Intimacy Coaching is a guided, heart-centered practice that helps you build a more connected, embodied relationship—with yourself first, and others second.
At Bare by Barrile, intimacy coaching isn’t just about romance or relationships (though those often transform too). It’s about:
Reclaiming your desires without shame
Honoring your boundaries with clarity
Coming back to your body as a source of wisdom and pleasure
Learning to speak your truth with confidence and softness
Through one-on-one sessions, you’re gently invited to reconnect to what feels good, what feels true, and what you’ve maybe never given yourself permission to want.
Want Deeper Integration? Try Our VIP Experience
For women desiring a deeper transformation, 1:1 VIP Coaching blends intimacy coaching with a luxury boudoir session that captures your evolution in real time.
You’ll be coached through the emotional, energetic, and sensual layers of your healing—and then celebrated through intentional, artful photography that reflects who you’re becoming.
This is embodiment work.
This is creative reclamation.
This is you, being fully seen.
