turn up the real you
A boudoir portrait session isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about affirming and amplifying what’s already there. You don’t need to change—you just need to be present.
the shift
Maybe you’ll arrive feeling unsure. But somewhere between the first laugh and the final click, something shifts. When you see your gallery or printed album, you’ll really understand.
real stories from amazing women
"I did this with the intention of an anniversary gift and trying to see what my husband and others see. I left my boudoir shoot with a profound sense of self-love and empowerment. Stephen helped me see myself in a way that I have always wanted to be seen yet reminded me it was something that I always had. This experience and what came out of it was something more than just beautiful photos. It was an experience that I will forever hold dear because for once I saw myself and genuinely LOVED what I saw."
"I’ve always struggled with a poor body image..."
Mrs. X
"I'd say I've lost a lot of myself in motherhood..."
Amy
"Motherhood is hard, and I’ve got the physical battle scars to prove it: stretch marks, a little extra ‘squish’ and a lost sense of ‘sexiness.’ Within the first 15 minutes of the session, I felt empowered. I felt strong. I felt attractive. I felt like the best version of myself."
"When I first booked my session, I had just gotten out of a 'situationship' and was tired of the dating scene. I initially wanted some thirst trap photos of myself for 'revenge.' But by the time my shoot came around, time had passed and with Stephen's encouragement, the session ended up being something I did just for me and my empowerment instead of being for someone else."
"I didn't think it was possible to look so incredible!"

Email & Agreement: After booking, I’ll send a detailed email with all the important info—timing, outfit tips, and general advice to help you prepare. I’ll also ask a few fun questions about your music preferences, favorite candy, etc., to make sure everything is just right.
Step 1
Initial Chat: I’ll answer any questions about the boudoir portrait experience. We can discuss hair, makeup, scheduling, outfits, comfort level, your vision, print products, and more. I’ll learn your vibe to customize the experience. When you’re ready, you’ll secure your date and time with a small deposit.
Step 2
What to expect for your boudoir portrait experience:
Step 3
The Day Before: Take it easy and pamper yourself! Hydrate, moisturize, and get plenty of rest so you feel your best the next day.
On Your Day: When you arrive at the studio, you’ll be pampered with professional hairstyling and makeup (if you choose to have it done there, which I highly recommend for the full experience!). I’ll have a personalized welcome sign and your favorite candy waiting, and I’ll be there to answer any questions to ensure you know this day is all about you. After hair and makeup, you’ll feel ready to rock your shoot.
Step 4
During the Shoot: I’ll have your favorite music playing to hype you up. Whether you’re excited to jump into your favorite outfit or a little nervous about being in front of the camera—that’s totally okay! This is a no-expectations space, and I’ll guide you through every step while honoring your individual comfort level.
Step 5
We’ll usually start with more conservative looks, then try different styles as you gain confidence. I’ll show you previews on camera so you know how amazing you look! And don’t think of it as “posing.” I’ll suggest movements and emotions while capturing the right moments that amplify your beauty.
Step 6
After the Shoot: You’ll be glammed up and feeling fabulous, so why not follow it up with a fun night out? Whether it’s a date night, time with friends, or just a treat-yourself
moment, your hair and makeup will be on point!
Step 7
I’ll work my magic—fine-tuning the lighting, color, and skin details—to make each photo look its best without over-editing. Once I’m done, I’ll send you the final images to download, and I’ll prepare any luxurious albums or prints you ordered through professional, reputable services. As a bonus, I typically deliver both color and black and white copies of each final image. And it’s not unusual for me throw in a few extras if I think they are especially awesome.
Step 8
In the Future: My goal is to create photos you’ll cherish for years to come—whether
it’s for a self-love boost, a special gift, or just a reminder of how incredible you are. If
you’re like me, you’ll probably be ready to book your next session before long!
