What These Creative Photography Sessions Are Really About

01

Presence Over Perfection

Boudoir & creative portrait sessions aren’t about performing or posing a certain way. They’re about showing up as you are & letting that be enough. Every session is built around you. Your comfort, your energy, & your story. The goal isn’t to create a version of yourself you think you “should” be; it’s to capture the person you already are in a way that feels honest & empowering.

02

A Collaborative Art Form of Self Expression

These sessions are a creative collaboration between us. We’ll experiment with light, movement, & the location. Whether that’s quiet confidence, bold expression, or something in between, we’ll create images that feel like art that you’re a part of rather than just photos.

03

A Space Made for You

You don’t have to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you through every step, you just have to show up. Every session is private, comfortable, & personalized to match your comfort level. My goal is for you to leave feeling seen, celebrated, & confident.

Boudoir Photography for Everyone

Because everyone deserves to feel seen, confident, & enough.


Everyone deserves to feel confident, desired, & seen. I specialize in photographing men & LGBTQIA+ clients because I know how rare it is to have images that reflect your body, your story, your way of being.


However, these sessions are open to everyone! They’re built on the belief that all people deserve to be celebrated, not just through the photos, but through the experience itself.

Got Questions?

Boudoir & creative portraits are for everyone, no matter your comfort level. You can come alone or with a partner or friend, dressed however you feel best: fully clothed, partially undressed, or completely nude if that’s what feels authentic to you. There’s no expectation or pressure, we move at your pace to create images that reflect who you are.

A signed contract & retainer is required to book a date. We’ll work together to finalize locations & the other details.

Sessions can take place in a private indoor setting, an Airbnb, your home, or outdoors in a location that fits your vision. I’ll help you choose spaces that are comfortable & when possible, more secluded. Some outdoor areas may have the chance of people nearby, but the final choice is always yours, we’ll only shoot where you feel comfortable and safe.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring anything that feels like you. Whether that’s jewelry, a jacket, boots, musical instrument, etc. You can also choose to stay fully clothed, partially undressed, or completely nude. It’s entirely up to your comfort level.

It’s up to you! Some people start slow, others jump right into it. It is also up to you how much you want to show & how much you want to undress (if at all). Keep in mind longer photo sessions give you more time to relax in front of the camera.

That’s ok! It can be very normal to feel a bit nervous at first. I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. We won’t do anything you’re not comfortable with, you are welcome to bring a friend, & we’ll go to locations that are private.

You’ll receive your complete edited gallery within 3 weeks. The gallery is stored securely online with multiple settings to be sure you’re in control of who (if anyone) gets to see your photos.

Yes, always. Your privacy comes first. You have full control over which images (if any) are shared publicly. Many clients choose to keep their photos completely private & that’s perfectly okay. I’ll only post images that you’ve explicitly approved & your gallery can remain entirely confidential if that’s what you prefer.

I edit the photos to enhance the lighting & make you look your best. I remove small things like acne but I do not do body modifying edits to make someone look skinnier for example.

Definitely! I always love to to chat more about your vision over Zoom, we may also be able to meet in person depending on my schedule. Before we start photographing, I also love to sit down & chat

I love to try something new & creative all the time! I don’t only offer boudoir & would love to chat about your ideas for more artistic portraits or things like aerial silks or fire spinning.
