boudoir
You deserve to feel beautiful, bold, and utterly yourself. A boudoir session isn’t about perfection — it’s about honoring the woman you are right now. Timeless, empowering, and unapologetically yours. Give yourself (or your partner) the gift of you.
We take fine art, intimate, and emotional images you'll treasure forever.

intimate portraits
Evoking feelings of intimacy and emotion. Turning each woman into her own muse, with artwork as elegant and timeless as she is.
Every woman brings a story—uncertainty, vulnerability, and the quiet hope to feel beautiful and seen. Boudoir is more than a session; it’s a reclamation of your story, your confidence, and your self-worth.
Through thoughtful guidance and custom artwork—whether an album tucked away just for you, or framed portraits displayed with pride—these images become more than photographs. They become tangible reminders of your strength, softness, and everything in between.
"she made it look effortless, but I assure you that not just anyone can create such art like she can!”

Come Home to Yourself
As women, we give so much—to our families, our careers, our communities—but rarely give back to ourselves. Boudoir is your invitation to pause, to reconnect, and to return to the woman within.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply ready to see yourself in a new light, this experience is for you. I’ll guide you every step of the way, creating artwork that reflects your strength, softness, and story.

You are a work of art
Seattle boudoir Photographer
You are worth it
This is why I believe in full service portrait photography, I'm here to guide you through every step, from selecting the perfect images to transforming them into custom art that will grace the walls of your home, reminding your family of the love you share every day. One of my favorite things to do is pull out boxes of old photo albums, prints, and slides from all the way back to my great grandparents generation, will your great grandchildren be able to do the same? We are the most photographed generation, let’s make sure those photographs live on past facebook and instagram and into the hands of our future loved ones to remember us by when it's all they have left of us.
Of a home filled with moments of love, laughter, and purpose from your beautiful family. Where your children see themselves daily and feel cherished showing up just as they are. Studies show that when kids grow up in an environment where they see themselves in photos daily, it enhances their self-esteem and fosters a deep sense of belonging. Imagine the sense of pride and importance your children will feel by giving them this gift. Investing in family photography isn't just about freezing a moment in time; it's about creating a lasting legacy for your loved ones. What would it feel like to be able to give that to them? What is that security worth to you? Is it priceless?
To be seen in a way that feels real, powerful, and entirely your own. Boudoir isn’t just about looking beautiful—it’s about reclaiming how you see yourself. When you surround yourself with imagery that reflects your strength, your softness, and your story, it becomes a daily reminder of your worth. Imagine walking past a framed portrait and feeling proud—not just of how you look, but of who you are.
Your session isn’t just a gift to yourself in this season—it’s an investment in your self-image, your confidence, and the story of how you choose to be remembered. What would it feel like to hold that in your hands? To flip through an album that captures the woman you are right now—bold, radiant, and fully present?
This is why I believe in full-service boudoir photography. I’ll guide you through every step—from helping you choose images that feel authentic to transforming them into fine art albums, prints, and custom pieces for your home. Whether your artwork lives privately in a linen box or proudly on your wall, these photographs deserve more than a screen. Let’s move them off our phones and into the spaces where they remind you, again and again: You are the art. You are enough.

Where do sessions take place?
Boudoir sessions take place in my private studio in Olympia—designed to be calm, cozy, and beautifully lit. I also offer in sessions in Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma, or in-home for clients who want something more personal. If you have a space that feels special to you, I’d love to hear your ideas!
What time of day should we do photos?
Mid-morning to early afternoon offers the best natural light, giving skin tones a soft, glowing finish—especially on film. This time of day creates the airy, intimate feel my work is known for. The session is unhurried and intentional, so you’ll have time to relax and feel confident.
what should I wear for my session?
I always recommend bringing 2–3 outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful—whether that’s lingerie, a favorite robe, or something soft and oversized. I’ll guide you on what photographs best and offer styling support ahead of time. You don’t need a full wardrobe—just pieces that feel like you.
WILL YOU HELP ME WITH POSING?
Absolutely. You don’t need to know how to pose—I’ll guide you through every step. I use gentle direction to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, so the final images look natural and effortless. Most clients are surprised by how relaxed and easy it feels once we begin.
DO I NEED MY OWN HAIR AND MAKEUP?
Hair and makeup can be added to your session for a polished, camera-ready look. I work with trusted professionals who understand the soft, elevated style my sessions are known for. If you prefer to come as you are, that’s beautiful too—this experience is fully tailored to you.
WILL MY PHOTOS BE PRIVATE?
Your privacy matters deeply to me. All boudoir sessions are completely confidential, and no images will ever be shared without your explicit written permission. If you’d like to keep your images just for you (or a partner), they’ll remain beautifully preserved—and just as personal as your session.

Turning your life into art.
We believe in serving you fully—our job isn’t done until your boudoir portraits are printed, framed, or bound in an album. We won’t leave you with a folder of forgotten files. Instead, we’ll help you create custom pieces that honor your beauty and turn your confidence into lasting art.
WE HONOR
YOUR STORY.
Together, we’ll create an experience that reflects your intention—whether it’s reclaiming confidence, marking a milestone, or simply celebrating yourself. Why now? What part of your story deserves to be seen and remembered? What about my work speaks to your sense of self? Let’s create something that feels like you.
We're not for everyone.
And we’re okay with that. We take on a limited number of boudoir sessions each month to ensure every client receives an experience that’s intentional, supportive, and deeply personal. This allows us to stay creative and give you the space, care, and attention you deserve.
