How much does a boudoir session cost?
To reserve your boudoir session, there is a session fee that covers your professional hair and makeup, as well as your time in front of the camera. After the photoshoot, you’ll get to view your images right away and choose what you’d like to purchase. We offer a range of luxury products including albums, wall art, keepsake items, and digital image collections starting at $999. Everything is completely customizable to fit your preferences and budget.

Without a doubt! This experience is about so much more than gorgeous pictures. It’s a powerful celebration of who you are—confidence, beauty, and self-love all rolled into one. Many of our clients describe it as transformational and deeply empowering.

I’m interested but still on the fence…
That’s totally okay! It’s normal to feel nervous—this is a bold and exciting step. If you’re hesitating, ask yourself: What’s holding me back from doing this for myself?

If you’re curious, I’d love to chat.
