Boudoir is so much more than putting on pretty lingerie and taking pictures.
This is about giving a middle finger to the “perfection” we see on social media. This is about being real and comfortable in your own skin. This is about celebrating how you are uniquely different. This is about letting go of every negative thing you’ve ever believed about your body.
I still have to tell MYSELF that my body is worthy, too. After pregnancy, my body changed … and it totally took me by surprise. I was hard on myself, and my partner at the time thought it was ok to cut me down because of my size.
I absorbed a lot of negative messages about my body while I was struggling with my new identity as a mom... and I'm still on my own self-confidence journey.
No matter your size or shape, I will pose you in a way that brings out your best features. You deserve to have photos that make you feel like you can conquer the world, and I want to be the photographer that helps you get them!

When I got my pictures back I cried again because I could not believe that person was me. Picking pictures was so easy, and even though she doesn’t pressure you into getting the wall art, DO IT! Everyday I walk past my picture I stop look at it while in my mom gear - no makeup, messy bun - and I am amazed everyday! It helps me everyday, no joke. Stephanie is absolutely amazing at what she does - you will be changed for the better when you walk out!

When I was reviewing my photos I was holding back tears. I turned to Stephanie and began to ugly cry. Its so hard to look at yourself and not judge or pick yourself apart. I do this on a weekly basis. I’m not thin, I have rolls where I don’t want them and I know I want to make improvements with my body. Of course there were some photos I didn’t feel I looked good in but the ugly cry was a direct result from disbelief that I had so many more photos that I was obsessed with and was stunned with the fact that those amazing photos were pictures of me.

I felt liberated, (who is that? Is that me? That girl who looks confident with hardly any clothes on is me?) I saw myself in a light that I had accomplished something that had originally made me feel super nervous. I was proud of myself for just looking and being myself. In today’s world someone always wants you to be something other or more than yourself. Stephanie brings out you at your most vulnerable but also at your most beautiful. I literally can’t wait until I can do this again!

I knew from the first set of photos that I would be going back to Steph for more and more sessions. She is one of the most amazing people I could hope to meet, and she is so compassionate and understanding of any concerns you may have. What a coach! What a woman! If anyone is on the fence about booking a session, stop. Book it now!
Natural Light
My favorite part about the studio is the natural sunlight! I shoot boudoir sessions during the brightest part of the day when there’s gorgeous, vivid lighting. It will make your skin glow, your eye color pop, and your hair shine without an ounce of editing
Finishing Touches
I handpick every item for the space. The high-end furniture, 7-foot mirror, plush bed coverings, throw pillows, and my clawfoot tub (named Clawdia!) … it all makes the studio feel intimate and cozy. And because I’m constantly changing the furnishings and layout, we’ll have plenty of background options to play with so your session is just as unique as you are!
Client Wardrobe
Simple is sexy. You don’t have to look like someone you aren’t to feel beautiful and sensual. A cute set of matching undies and bra or an elegant bodysuit can go a long way. I offer a variety of lingerie pieces in sizes XS-3X complimentary with EVERY session! I want to take the worry out of shopping... because I know how difficult and stressful shopping for lingerie can be.
