Boudoir

sexy is an energy, not a body type

Intimate Portrait Experience in Clarkston, Michigan

FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I STRUGGLED WITH LONGING FOR A PAST VERSION OF MYSELF, CREATING A CYCLE OF SELF-DOUBT WHERE I YEARNED FOR A VERSION THAT NO LONGER EXISTED.

It became an endless loop, hindering my appreciation of my own body in the present.

In an effort to shift my perspective, I started photographing myself in the same empowering way I captured others. This journey began when photographing diverse women helped me appreciate the unique beauty in each body, including my own. It became a shared journey of self-love and acceptance.

Now, as a boudoir photographer, my joy is revealing the genuine uniqueness, strength, and beauty in others. That is my why.

I'm here to capture the essence of who you are in this moment, celebrating your beauty just as it is. I am thrilled to embark on this empowering journey with you.

Client communication is paramount to me. We discuss and set boundaries beforehand to ensure the best possible session. Boudoir, for me, is a collaborative, luxurious, and vulnerable experience. Through thorough communication, I aim to ensure we are on the same page. Always.

What my friends are saying

The Experience

  • Head on over to the inquiry form and fill that out. Once I receive it we can schedule a phone consultation (or keep it strictly email if you prefer!) We will chat about expectations, get to know each other, and get you scheduled!

  • I will be emailing you a prep guide as well as a questionnaire for you to fill out. This prep guide will walk you through everything from when is best to get a spray tan, a wax, and cover what you may need to pack the night before.

    The questionnaire is going to be the place where you can tell me everything and anything. What are your favorite features? Favorite music to listen to? Anything I should keep in mind while photographing you? This gives us the opportunity to talk through the scaries before you even walk into the studio.

  • On session day at our Downtown Clarkston, Michigan Studio, we'll discuss your outfits, and I'll arrange them for our up-to-3-outfit session. Licensed makeup artist Cait Garofalo will take 30 minutes for makeup with all safety precautions. During this time, we'll chat and get comfortable. Then, our 90-minute session begins, filled with music and confident, comfortable poses. Expect your digital images in 3 weeks via a private online gallery. Excited for our session!
