What Days DO YOU shoot?
We shoot Monday through Friday, between 9 AM and 5 PM. Most clients take a vacation day for their celebratory session (playing hooky just adds to the fun!).

What Should I Wear & What Do You Provide?
This isn’t about playing dress-up, it’s about gently peeling back the layers and styling the real you.
We’ve got a curated lineup: oversized white button-ups, sheer skirts, and luxe robes. You bring the heat: bras, panties, bodysuits, heels… or nothing at all. It’s a collaboration, babe. You bring the vibe, we bring the vision.
Go-to pieces:
Bodysuit
Multi-piece set with garter & thigh-highs
Black bra & panty set
White tank top
Favorite jeans
Oversized sweater or tee
And yes… nudes. Always nudes.
We’ll share inspo boards to spark your creativity, and tailor the look to your mood: soft, savage, siren. Want a personal branding or glamour twist? We’ll style that too.
This shoot is a mood. Dress like you mean it.

Will you help me with posing?
Hell yes. That’s one of my main jobs. I’m your hype girl, your biggest fan, and your behind-the-scenes sorceress. I’ll guide you from head to toe with posing, angles, and lighting that flatter every inch of you. You’ll feel confident, look divine, and have a damn good time doing it.
And those in-between moments? The raw, natural, unfiltered ones? I’ll catch those too. It’s a beautiful mix of power and play.

Can I bring a friend to the shoot?
This day is all about you. Ideally, we keep the spotlight on you alone, but if having a friend helps you feel more comfortable, bring your best cheerleader. Some clients have a friend join for glam, then step out for the shoot. That works beautifully.
Want to do a couples or bestie boudoir session? Just let us know, we’re totally down to plan something unforgettable.

Do you offer couple's boudoir?
YESSS! I’m obsessed with couples’ boudoir. We can shoot you both together, or start solo and bring in your partner (or partners) when the mood strikes. You do you, boo. It’s all about connection, chemistry, and capturing the magic between you.

How much editing will you do?
I want you to look like you. I do basic color correction and image cleanup, and you’ll have the option to remove blemishes or bruises or keep them. About half my clients leave them in. Personally? I keep mine. Bruised and beautiful.
I don’t reshape bodies. I use flattering light, intentional posing, and a soft film-style grain that’s forgiving and gorgeous. You can also opt for a light skin-softening effect, subtle enough to still look human.
And for a few select shots? I love adding a painterly Fine Art edit. It’s bold, dreamy, and perfect for wall-worthy moments.

I would love to share your images, you sexy thing!!! I will, of course, only share what you are comfortable with. We have a written release for such images, if you should choose to share. It’s completely up to you!

Do you give or sell raw files?
No. This is my passion and my art form. To make sure all images are my work from start to finish, no Raw images are released. No editing of digital images is permitted.

When Do I Pay
To lock in your shoot date, a non-refundable $347 retainer is required. Most clients book 1 - 3 months ahead, but we’ve got last-minute magic if needed.
You’ll choose your package after the shoot, once you’ve seen your stunning images. We accept cash, credit cards, Klarna, AfterPay, Affirm, and offer in-house, interest-free payment plans.
Products are ordered once payment is complete. No pressure, no rush, just your pace, your power.

Do you photograph men?
I specialize in photographing people who identify as women. I also offer couples boudoir, which can include solo shots of each partner. At this time, I don’t photograph men

Where are you based? And do you travel?
Our studio is nestled in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. If you're coming from out of town, I’ll share my fave spots to stay, eat, and explore. Make it a girls’ getaway, or an empowering solo escape.
We also offer destination experiences a few times a year. They’re announced first on social, so follow along and don’t miss the magic work!
