Bold, Empowered, self-care —Unapologetically You
A boudoir session is a chance to step away from the everyday hustle, quiet the self-doubt, and fully embrace the beauty and strength that have always been within you. It’s not about fitting into a mold or meeting anyone’s expectations; it’s about you—your confidence, your journey, your power.
From the moment you walk into your session location, you’ll be pampered with professional hair and makeup, allowing you to relax, feel radiant, and step into your most confident self. As you slip into outfits that make you feel incredible, I’ll guide you through every pose and moment, capturing the way you feel—bold, empowered, and absolutely stunning.
This experience is about more than just beautiful photos; it’s about rediscovering and celebrating the woman you are today, in this exact moment. You are worthy. You are powerful. And you deserve to see yourself that way. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

".Not only did she make me feel completely comfortable during my session she also took amazing care to make sure every facial expression, piece of hair and strap of clothing was perfectly placed"
I would recommend her 100x over to anyone looking for an incredible gift for themselves or their spouse. My husband was absolutely flabbergasted by the final result and looks at my portfolio daily. WELL worth it for my marriage, and my self esteem! I am SO glad I chose her!

frequently asked questions
I absolutely love photographing in luxury spaces to enhance your boudoir experience. I personally select and book locations within Metro Detroit that align with my aesthetic, ensuring a high-end, intimate setting.
For couples’ sessions, I recommend hotels or Airbnbs where you can extend the experience and fully immerse in the moment. However, in-home sessions are always an option for anyone wanting a more personal touch.
