I didn’t feel very pretty or special growing up (now that I’m older, I think that’s pretty common).
When I was a pre-teen, probably around 7th or 8th grade, my mom took me to get Glamour Shots.
Remember those? Yes those cheesy things done in the 80’s, 90’s. Haha.
BUT… for me, in the late 90’s, this was life changing.
Being pampered, hair and make up fully done, dressed, the whole nine yards.
But SEEING that photo of me. For the first time (that I can remember), I felt beautiful… like that’s me - I AM BEAUTIFUL.
I was so proud of that photo. I showed all of my friends in school. It changed the way I viewed myself forever.
That’s the power of a photograph.
A photograph that truly represents that power, beauty and awesomeness that is you… is priceless.
There’s something so much more powerful about holding it in your hands and SEEING it.
That’s what I want to give each and everyone of my clients.
A photograph that has them say:
“WOW, THAT’S ME AND I AM BEAUTIFUL!”

Feeling awkward is normal — expected, even.
Most clients feel awkward for the first 10–15 minutes. You’re doing something new and vulnerable, and your nervous system is catching up.
Some clients feel awkward the entire session — and that’s okay too.
Awkward doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It doesn’t mean you’re not confident.
Here’s what surprises people most:
The clients who feel the most awkward are often the most shocked at their reveal. They say, “I felt awkward… but I don’t look awkward at all.”
You don’t need confidence to begin.
Confidence often comes after you show up — awkward and all.
You don’t need to "be sexy."
You need to show up.
You’re fully guided through posing, facial expressions, and movement. Every angle, every adjustment, every lighting choice is intentional and designed to flatter you.
Most people feel awkward in photos because they’re not being coached. Here, you are.
You’ll see a side of yourself you haven’t seen — not because you changed, but because it was captured with intention and attention to every little detail.
There is no age limit on self-expression.
Many of our clients are in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. In fact, this season of life is often when boudoir is the most meaningful — because it’s no longer about proving anything. It’s about reclaiming yourself.
You are not too old.
You are experienced, layered, and worthy of being seen.
You don’t need to change your body to be worthy of this experience.
Most clients come in believing they’ll “do this someday” — after weight loss, after confidence, after life slows down. The truth is, those goalposts always move.
Boudoir isn’t a reward for becoming someone else.
It’s an invitation to see yourself as you are right now.
And for many women, that’s exactly where healing begins.
Not at all.
Boudoir is not about lingerie — it’s about intention. Clients wear everything from oversized sweaters and button-downs to bodysuits, sheets, denim, dresses, or nothing at all.
We also have a fully stocked client closet (sizes S–4X) and provide wardrobe guidance before your session so you never feel like you’re figuring this out alone.
You don’t need “the right outfit.”
We’ll help you find what feels like you.
That’s okay — this experience doesn’t have to be for anyone else.
Many clients book boudoir as a gift to themselves. Others come in during a season of change — divorce, loss, rediscovery, or simply choosing themselves for the first time in a long time.
This experience is allowed to be just for you - in fact oftentimes that makes it even more meaningful and transformative.
The only required item is a nude thong for added protection to be worn underneath our client wardrobe. Beyond that, everything else is optional and personal.
If you’d like to add a little extra personality, feel free to bring:
- Shoes you love
- Jewelry
- Thigh highs or fishnets
- Any small accessories that make you feel like you
- (If lingerie isn’t your thing - Any items you’re considering like an oversized white shirt, sweater, etc.
- If you want to use your own lingerie, bring that with you <3
You’ll have full access to our client wardrobe, so you’re never expected to show up with everything figured out.
A detailed prep guide is sent weeks before your session so you feel supported and ready well ahead of time. It walks you through everything step by step.
A few simple things that help most:
- Arrive with clean hair and a clean face
- Keep up with your skincare routine
- Prioritize rest, hydration, and nourishment in the weeks leading up
- Eat well before your session — this is important! You’ll want the energy to enjoy the experience fully
Preparation here isn’t about perfection.
It’s about feeling cared for, comfortable, and grounded.

Many of our clients travel for this experience, and we’re always happy to help with planning if you’re coming from out of town.
Your privacy is fully respected. Some clients choose to share their images publicly, some allow anonymous sharing, and many choose complete privacy.
There is never pressure to share your images in any way.
You are always in control.
From hair and makeup, wardrobe, to posing and expression, you’re never expected to know what to do. I’ll demonstrate poses, guide your body, adjust details, and check in with you throughout the session.
There is no “doing it wrong” here.
There is only showing up.
For most packages, image reveals take place via Zoom, often the same day or the following day. This allows many clients to decompress, get comfortable at home, and view their images in a relaxed, private space.
For collections that include additional sets and spa services, we offer same-day, in-person reveals as part of the full luxury experience.
No matter the format, your reveal is always private, intentional, and guided — and it’s often the moment everything clicks.
We go over all options and payment plans during your consultation so everything is clear and pressure-free.
We offer pre-session payment plans so you can spread your investment out over time and fully enjoy your session without stress.
Choosing yourself shouldn’t feel overwhelming we’re here to guide you the entire time.
This gives us a chance to answer your questions, talk through your fears (yes, including awkwardness), and make sure this experience is the right fit for you.
No pressure. No convincing. Just clarity.
