We work with clients of all body types, ages, and backgrounds. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, rebuilding confidence after a life change, or simply wanting to do something meaningful for yourself, this experience is created with care and respect.
Many clients book sessions to celebrate personal growth, healing, relationships, or new chapters. Others come simply because they want to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.
There is no one right reason to book a boudoir session. The only requirement is that it feels right for you.
Grand Rapids Boudoir Photography Portfolio
Your photos will reflect your personality, your energy, and the version of yourself you want to remember.
These images feature real clients, many of whom had never done a professional photoshoot before. Every session is customized to the individual, focusing on comfort, confidence, and authenticity rather than trends or expectations.
Real Women. With Real Stories. Just like
you.
Never done this before?
We got you babe.
The women we see come into the studio are not models they are regular women from around Grand Rapids. They aren't all the type that wear a full face of make-up everyday. They're just like you. They are busy and have a to-do list a mile long on most days. They don't have time to do all of the things all of the time. And they most often have very few photos of themselves. This is why they appreciate that we take care of it all. So you can come in with your everyday self, and show off your shine.
What you Can Expect
01|Before your Session
You’ll get the details you actually care about. What to bring. What not to stress over. What’s worth thinking about and what absolutely isn’t. This isn’t homework. It’s just enough prep so you walk in feeling like, okay yeah, I’ve got this.
02|Hair And Makeup
This is where it starts to feel real. You sit down, get pampered, and slowly shift out of everyday mode. Not overdone. But taking your "everyday" to "slay".
03|Slay your session
Our photographers are experts at guiding you throughout the session. They'll check in and make sure that they are keeping your best assets and most flattering poses in mind.
04|obsess over your photos
This is where it really hits.
After your session, you’ll view your images and choose what you love. Most women don’t expect how this part feels. Not because they suddenly look different, but because they finally see themselves differently.
Confident. Powerful. Proud. And really glad they said yes to this.
- Appreciating your body NO MATTER what.
- A journey into discovering yourself & loving yourself
- Celebrating your beauty and growth, even if you haven't met your milestone
- Choosing to celebrate yourself for a change. Treat yo'self.
- Recognizing that you NEVER lost your sexy. Ever.

Hair and Makeup is included in the Boudoir Experience. We want you to feel pampered and sit back and relax. Our amazing team of makeup artists help complete the boudoir look, whether thats subtle makeup or full on glam.
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.
You will see your images the same day as your session and be able to choose your absolute favorites. We show you a lot of images and create a lot of variety in our time shooting together.
I 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!
Fill out our contact form and we will be in touch asap via text and email. You may also give us a call at 269.775.4995. We will hop on a quick phone chat to go over the experience and any questions you have. There is a retainer session fee of $399 to book your experience.
We have curated our collections with the most popular products purchased as bundles to save you money! Our most popular collections include digital images, our gorgeous luxury albums, a mobile app and bonus credit to use towards other goodies such as metal wall art and more! The sky is the limit with what we can create with your gorgeous images.
YES! We offer payment plans and financing through Paypayl and Klarna to help meet every budget. Most clients opt in for a pre payment plan to get access to our bonus sets!
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.
We are located in Downtown Kalamazoo at 326 W. Kalamazoo Ave in a beautiful commercial building with tons of character.
