West Michigan's Premier Luxury Boudoir Studio
Brea Oakes photography Studio- Kalamazoo, MIchigan
Our Boudoir experience is way more than just beautiful photos; it's a journey meant to empower you and remind you of how stunning you are. It is a self-exploratory process where you define how you want to see yourself and feel in your own skin and embrace yourself for who you truly are (a total bad-ass, am I right!?).
It is an intimate portrait experience that is uniquely designed for you. It can be soft, sweet, fun and exciting, conservative, sensual, seductive, whimsical, or even outrageous and daring. No matter what style you prefer, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life. We bring out the natural beauty you possess on the inside so it can be expressed in a visual form on the outside. It’s your story, and we want to help you tell it!
Give yourself permission to book this luxury self-care day where you will be pampered and treated like a goddess (yaaas!! We all need one of those days). You deserve to look and feel amazing and this exceptional experience will make that happen!
everything starts with self love

Listen to Real clients about their experience
Rave
I don’t look like the models on your website!
The portraits on the website are of everyday women just like you. They are moms, teachers, lawyers, business owners, grandmothers, nurses, and of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and ages. You are beautiful just the way you are, and it’s our job to accentuate that so you witness just how gorgeous you are.
I should lose a few pounds before doing this!
No, no, and no! This is an opportunity to appreciate and honor your body for what it is. Let’s celebrate YOU! Plus, we know the right poses, moves, and angles to capture the parts of your body you love and minimize the areas you don’t. It’s all about the positioning that produces portraits you love!
I’m not the right age.. Isn’t this for younger women?
I’ve had the pleasure of photographing women in their 80’s and above! You’re never too old for anything. Unfortunately, not all clients want us to share their images, so you don’t see the full range on the website. But age is beauty, and it’s time you recognize that you’re never too old to feel sexy!
I’m a plus-size woman.. should I do this?
This is your chance to accept, love, and own your body. We have a lot of experience working with curvy & plus-size women, and their photos are jaw-dropping. We know how to position you to bring out the best angles that flatter you and enhance your most favorite parts of you body.
I think I’ll look awkward.. what if I don’t like any of my photos?
This is a concern for the majority of clients. Rest assured, with 10 years of experience, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to make you feel comfortable and relaxed through the process. You will feel supported, seen, and guided from start to finish so we produce extraordinary portraits you will love forever.
You are braver than most for considering a boudoir shoot, which should be applauded. Let’s honor you, exactly as you are! It’s time to release the false beauty expectations and own your gorgeousness. Everyone deserves to see themselves as a beautiful, confident, sexy, and powerful woman.

This experience was so much more than I could have ever imagined or expected! I can't thank you enough for everything! Seriously- you are amazing! From the moment I walked in the door, and saw the adorable setup with "Welcome Miss K" on the letter board, the hair and makeup in my robe, helping me sort through and pick out my outfits, the music, posing, your excitement and energy! I walked in a nervous gal, unsure of what to expect, how I would look and feel. I walked out as a goddess- feeling so empowered, sexy, vibrant and full of energy! Thank you for your help to free her!. -MS K
I just want to thank you for such an amazing opportunity to do something for myself that is so self rewarding. I never thought I would do something like this but I love the way I felt and the experience was amazing and so stressless thanks to you! I was speechless when I saw my images for the first time! I was very nervous but I was amazed and how comfortable and natural I felt during the whole session. It really built up my confidence. MS. R

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!

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!
