Elevated Boudoir Photography
Modern Artistic Portraits for women who want to feel beautifully themselves.
A joyful, guided experience designed to feel comfortable and empowering from start to finish. It’s ok if you’ve never done this before! Based in Boulder, Colorado
My Boudoir 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.
An elevated Boudoir experience you’ll love

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 authentic & beautiful.
