What is a boudoir session?
A boudoir photo shoot is a transformative experience that goes beyond capturing "sexy" images; it is a profound act of self-love and empowerment. For many women, this intimate session becomes a journey of healing, helping to reclaim their bodies and self-esteem from past traumas. The empowering atmosphere allows them to see themselves through a lens of beauty, strength, and confidence. The exhilaration and pride felt during the shoot can reignite a sense of self-worth and sensuality, providing a lasting boost to their mental and emotional well-being. Ultimately, a boudoir photo shoot celebrates the essence of femininity, instilling a renewed sense of confidence and self-appreciation.
Who can book a boudoir session?
Anyone can book a boudoir session, regardless of age or body type. Boudoir photography is about celebrating your body and confidence. Seriously most of my ladies are in their 40’s or 50’s!
Do I need to have modeling experience?
No modeling experience is necessary. As a professional boudoir photographer will guide you through poses and expressions to help you feel comfortable and look your best.
What should I wear for my boudoir session?

How should I prepare for my boudoir session?

Are boudoir sessions only for women?
Yes, my boudoir sessions are only for women.

Feeling nervous is normal. I will create a supportive and comfortable environment to help you relax. Remember, the session is about celebrating you and having fun.
What should I do if I have specific insecurities?
