Behind Michigan's Most Empowering Boudoir Experience
- Brea
Every woman who walks through our doors deserves a team that sees her strength, her softness, her fire, and her story. At Brea Oakes Studio, you are surrounded by women who believe in you before you even step in front of the camera.
We are a team of photographers, beauty artists, stylists, and support staff who share one mission.
We want you to feel seen, understood, celebrated, and powerful.
Our work is not just about taking photos.
It is about guiding you through a day that feels freeing, affirming, and unforgettable.
We show you how to pose. We help you choose outfits that make you feel incredible. We cheer you on. We handle the details so you can relax. We support you, hype you up, and make sure you feel safe at every moment.
Women often tell us they have never felt this level of care before.
That is not accidental.
We choose intention in everything we do.
It's truly a Luxury Boudoir Experience

From bombshells just like you...
We fully understand that this is a big deal. You want to make sure that you are working with a team that is welcoming, empowering and safe. Have a look at what others have said. Some came in nervous. Some came in doubting themselves. So many of them leave feeling revived.

We are located in Downtown Kalamazoo at 326 W. Kalamazoo Ave in a beautiful commercial building with tons of character.
Confidence is not required! You don't have to be perfect or ready. Nerves are normal! You just need to show up for the opportunity to love yourself. I promise you – after you get to relax for an hour before your shoot getting pampered by my stylist you will feel at ease and have nothing but fun! You will leave the studio smiling and feeling confident.
We do edit your images. We smooth skin, remove blemishes (acne, bruises, scratches, etc) and add our signature color edits that make your images POP. We do not edit anything out permanent unless requested. We think you are beautiful as is but if there any parts of your body that you don't want highlighted, we discuss this before your session and use posing and lighting to make you shine!
YES! We specialize in creating gorgeous boudoir portraits of every woman no matter your shape or size. Again, we specialize in lighting and posing techniques to make you look fabulous!
Because we only specialize in boudoir, our calendar fills up quickly. We recommend coming in for your shoot 4-5 weeks before you need your products. No matter what your timeline is, get in touch - we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests.
