boudoir sessions
modern, fine-art
"Not only did Maddy make me feel comfortable in front of the camera, she also made me feel confident!"
Although they can be a sexy present for a significant other, the drive behind the boudoir sessions I offer is to make you feel confident and empowered. Stripping down and celebrating your body the way it is requires vulnerability, but once the session starts I want each of my clients to experience how fun and effortless it can be to photograph boudoir photos. These sessions capture you as a work of art embracing your body and femininity. No matter if your vibe is moody and sensual or joyful and playful you’ll walk away with refreshed confidence.

step one
Start by reviewing a boudoir brochure and selecting your session date! A retainer and signed contract is required to hold your spot.
The Boudoir Process:

step three
Get ready to have some fun! Every session starts off with hair and makeup by our professional artist. Once you're ready to go we'll capture anywhere from 2-5 looks so you get a lot of variety. I'll guide you through every step of the session demonstrating posing and making sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Once we're official, you'll receive a planning questionnaire from me that I'll use to learn about the 'why' behind your session and help select your studio space and outfits. I'll provide plenty of guidance on how to prepare for your session and take time to understand what types of images you want to capture so we can bring your vision to life.

step two
Within two weeks of your session we'll schedule a photo reveal, during which we'll meet either in-person or on a video call to walk through your gallery. During this time you'll be able to pick out what digital images you want, order products and we'll design your album together!

Hi there, I'm Maddy! I've been a photographer, specializing in weddings since 2016. When COVID derailed most of my 2020 wedding season, I turned to boudoir, finding it was bringing me back to my initial photography interests - blending portraiture with creative expression. Boudoir sessions gave me the opportunity to encourage women to do a fun, effortless photo session just for themselves and leave feeling reconnected with their confidence.
