A boudoir photography session is a place for a woman to let go of her inhibitions and explore her sensuality in a safe environment, free from judgments. With me, you will be guided through a liberating experience that you will cherish for your lifetime. Your boudoir session will be all about you. Once you have booked with me, I’ll send you a questionnaire so that I can get to know you and your style. Then, we will completely customize your session to fit your personality. I’ll guide you into poses that match your personality and flatter your body type, no experience needed at all. I will even direct you from your facial expression to your fingers and toes! You are completely in control to how dressed or undressed you are in your session. Whether you prefer to stay completely covered or bare it all, I will create classic and timeless portraits of you that show off your sensual, flirty, fun and empowered side.
Thank you, the Artistic Journalist

I think people are sometimes surprised when I tell them I shoot boudoir. It’s such a specific area of photography and although boudoir has gained such popularity over the last several years it’s still considered somewhat taboo (it’s not). Although I spend most of my days photographing beautiful people and have for the past eight years it’s really not about beauty or lingerie or even sexiness for me. It’s the reasons behind what motivate the women to contact us and book a shoot in the first place that make me feel so excited and happy to be helping others everyday. Maybe they’re doing it as a gift for someone or themselves. Maybe they are a mom and they’ve lost sight of what a unique light they are and that they’re deserving of some photos to celebrate that. Perhaps they want to build a portfolio or have been through a rough patch and need something to get their groove back. Whatever the reason I love it. I love seeing the evolution of the woman that walks into the studio or gym, usually nervous and timid, and by the end of her shoot feeling confident and with a new sense of pride. I will always love shooting boudoir, and hey, when you were raised by three confident women you must be doing something right…
It's all about body acceptance & affordability.
What do your sessions include and how much do they cost?
Your boudoir session will include hair and make up advice, up to 3 outfit changes, pose coaching & expression directing (from your facial expressions to your toes)! You will get to see your photos and place your order three days from your session. The average session cost starts at $300.
What should I bring? What should I wear for my boudoir session?
We recommend that you bring several sets of outfits to choose from. It’s always better to bring more rather than not having enough. We can also photograph an entire session with just one outfit (or no outfit at all) so if that’s what you would like to do, that’s perfectly fine!
I really want to do a session, but I don’t think I’m in good enough shape!
This is a BIG MISCONCEPTION! Boudoir is NOT just for people with a certain body type! It is for any person of any size and age. All people are beautiful. It is my job as a photographer to focus on your greatest assets and minimize the things you’re self-conscious about. Life is a beautiful thing, and I love to photograph it.

Will you put my boudoir photos on your website or Facebook?
Not unless you want me to! I take your privacy very seriously. Unless you give me permission to post your photos online or use them in print form, your photos will never be see the light of day. The women you see on the website have given me permission to use their photos. After you have seen your photos and selected your favorites I'll will ask you if there are any photos you're comfortable sharing. If you're not comfortable, just say no. If you're not sure, I prefer you to say no. I have plenty clients who are willing to share their photos, so don't feel like it will hurt my feelings if you don't give me permission to use yours.
YOU are more than welcome to post your own photos online as well.
When you place an order we gladly offer digital photos, resized for the web with or without our logo on them. Let us know if you’re interested. By sharing your photos your're helping us to get our name out there! You can even tag us on Facebook or Instagram! We just ask that you not crop, alter or edit the photos in any way. If you would like a photo cropped a different way (to make it more social media appropriate, for instance) just ask and I'll do it for you.
I have been doing this for over 10 years, it's like Vegas your secret is safe.
