what is boudoir?

I’m here to tell you that every human is a masterpiece photo waiting to happen.

Boudoir photography my way is not just about posing in gorgeous lingerie, it is also about finding your inner goddess, embracing the fantasy, connecting with your body, reminding yourself that you deserve it all. It’s truly a sensual experience that will leave you reconnected with yourself, glowing with confidence and with the most gorgeous images. 

tailor-made approach

My goal is for you to conclude the experience feeling both “holy crap, is this ME?!” and “this is SO ME”. This is why I approach every session working with you to find the perfect vision, outfits, ambiance and a story that represents your whole self. After that I work my magic to make sure the images are a work of art that is mind-blowingly gorgeous and magical.  

the experience

  • Once you decide to book a boudoir session with me, we will discuss every detail through a Zoom consultation, including talking about your passions, desires and comfort levels, your ideal outcome from the session and any questions you might have around the process or products. It’s important that you feel supported and confident from the start!

  • Once you arrive on the set, we will scope out the outfits again and start getting your hair and makeup done by the best in the business. I will bring you refreshments and play some getting ready music.

  • Once we start shooting, I will pose you from head to toe, so you really don’t need to worry about anything but enjoying the process. After nearly each shoot, clients are giddy with excitement and often say that they didn’t expect how effortless the session was, despite their previous reservations and concerns.

  • You did the thing and looked like a magical goddess doing it. About 2-3 weeks after your session, we will hang out again in person or via Zoom, look at your beautiful gallery, pick the images and finalize the details of your order. And after that, you get to enjoy that confident after boudoir session glow as well as heirlooms to remind you that you are, in fact, a work of art.

Don’t take my word for it. Take Theirs.

 FAQs

  • Well that’s entirely up to you. Each photoshoot is specially tailored to your wants, needs and comfort levels. I always ask upfront with an option to change your mind in the process one way or another.

  • I offer studio shoots at my Northern Virginia studio in Sterling, VA. There is always an option for outdoor boudoir in warmer seasons for the adventurous nature lovers. I can also come to you, we can rent your favorite hotel room. The options are limitless.

  • While I believe every body is beautiful, each of us has a specific relationship with our own. We can work together through posing and later I will also cast my retouching spells. I got you!

  • As part of our collections, we offer albums, mixed media wall art and boxes of prints. As an add-on we can design a calendar for you, create a print magazine or a vintage slide viewer for that sexy reveal for your partner.

  • Absolutely not. Your images are safe with me. After your session we will go over the image release and you can decide if you are comfortable with me sharing all of your images, anonymous images only or you can keep them all private. While it does help my portfolio, your comfort level is my priority at all times.

  • Yes, absolutely. The $350 booking fee is due upfront to hold your spot for the studio as well as makeup and hair. The rest can be broken down into weekly, biweekly or monthly payments leading up to your session.

  • We do have some lingerie to supplement what clients brings, but most of our clients prefer to provide their own clothing. We also provide robes, props and beautiful fabrics to drape over your body.
