THE PEAK OF FEMININITY
welcoming you with open arms to embodiment boudoir
PREPARE TO BE SEEN LIKE YOU’VE NEVER HAVE BEFORE
I am incredibly passionate about boudoir sessions because I’ve seen the impact they have on clients. Everyone is worthy of being seen and celebrated. No matter what you do with your photos, as a gift to your partner or yourself, there is something deeply transformative about embracing your sexuality in all it’s beautiful shapes, sizes, colors and manifestations.
“GOOSEBUMPS. ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS WHEN I SAW THE IMAGES FROM MY BOUDOIR SHOOT. IT MAY SOUND SILLY BUT THIS EXPERIENCE HEALED ME. IT’S GIVEN ME A NEWFOUND CONFIDENCE AND LOVE FOR MYSELF. TO SEE MYSELF IN SUCH A GENTLE, BEAUTIFUL WAY. I AM SO THANKFUL, EMILY.” — ISABELLE

Yes! Please do not stress over posing! I will walk you through every step of the way. I am mindful of flattering angles and we will discuss prior to your session how undressed you would like to be. Some do all lingerie, others a few topless, others fully nude. It is entirely up to you. I follow your lead. I always mention I have done hundreds of boudoir sessions at this point. There is no need to be shy or embarassed around me. I will do my best to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

There are so many options here and it’s partly based on your taste. Some common ones are: body suits, lingerie sets, topless with one of your partners favorite shirts, boy shorts, cute PJ’s, sexy lounge wear, complete nude or topless, veil or something wedding related, etc.

If this fits within your budget, I highly recommend getting it done. There is something about how the camera seems to minimize the makeup we have on. Makeup artists know this and really do a wonderful job. Even achieving a “natural” look requires more makeup than you would think.
What People Are Saying
“Emily is absolutely fantastic! I did a boudoir shoot as an anniversary present for my husband who was deployed. I was nervous because I wanted it to be extra special. From the moment I contacted Emily she instantly put me at ease. The session was fun and low pressure… literally like hanging out with a friend! And the pictures… WOW! My husband loved them and more importantly, I felt so empowered! I w ould recommend doing a boudoir with Emily to anyone!
Madeline
“I have struggled with body image my entire life. Doing a boudoir is not something I would ever have seen myself doing… the session was liberating! Emily made it so comfortable I almost forgot she had a camera in hand! She helped me pose, made sure my hair was on point, as well as every other detail. The images are beautiful and I’m so happy I will have them forever to look back on and celebrate! I recommend her to everyone I know!”
Callie
I found Emily on Instagram and right away she had a way of making me feel excited for the shoot and at ease. I had never done anything like this before and was incredibly nervous. I left feeling so confident! I still can’t believe I had so much fun in what could have been a really intimidating setting. I would hands down recommend her to anyone looking for a boudoir photographer. You will not be disappointed and the photos will blow you away!”
