Elevated Boudoir Photography
Based in Boulder, Colorado & Beyond
Modern & Editorial portraits for women who want to feel beautifully themselves.
A calm, guided experience designed to feel comfortable and empowering from start to finish. It’s ok if you’ve never done this before!
My approach to boudoir photography is a little different. My boutique Sessions are fully guided and un-rushed, with a focus on natural movement, beautiful light, and creating images that feel modern and artistic.
What Makes This Experience Different
Personal guidance throughout your session; you’ll feel like you’re working with a friend! From twisted straps, tags poking out, fingers that need to relax, I see everything and make little adjustments to create the perfect image.
A calm, private studio in Boulder. Designed to feel more like a cozy loft, instead of intimidating studio.
Editorial inspired posing that feels natural. I have almost 10 years of experience posing women of every size, shape, age, and identity, you don’t need to know what to do, because I know exactly how to guide you to create your best photos ever.

What is Boudoir Photography?
Boudoir (pronounced boo-dwar) comes from the French word boudoir, meaning a woman’s private room or dressing space. Today, boudoir photography is known for intimate, elegant portraits that celebrate confidence, femininity, and self-expression.

Boudoir photography does not require confidence or experience. It simply asks that you show up as you are. My role is to guide you, create a comfortable space, and photograph you in a way that feels natural, elevated, and real.
