Our private boudoir studio in Charleston, South Carolina offers a personalized, one-on-one experience for EVERY woman (this means YOU).

WHAT IS BOUDOIR?
and why you need it
“Boudoir” is a French word meaning a lady's private dressing room or bedroom. In photography, boudoir refers to a style in which women pose for photographs partially clothed or in lingerie. To me, a boudoir photoshoot is so much more. It's a thrilling opportunity to remind yourself that you are beautiful, fearless, and capable of doing incredible things. Let’s face it- many of us are often too busy for self care. This is your chance to find the woman you thought you’d lost or discover your true beauty and confidence. I want you to embrace and celebrate all of you… as you are right now.
To find your confidence
To celebrate a birthday or milestone
To surprise someone special with an unforgettable gift
To re-ignite the “spark” in your relationship
To love and embrace your body as it is RIGHT NOW
To nurture or heal the relationship with yourself
And finally- my favorite of all- because you deserve it!
THE EXPERIENCE
YOUR PHOTO SESSION
Most women are totally freaking out by the time they arrive at the door, and that's 100% normal. I will welcome you with a hug and help get you settled. Together we will take a look at your wardrobe pieces and discuss hair and makeup options. You can share any inspiration shots that you have saved or ideas that you may have so that I can design sets that compliment your outfit selections. Then, you get to relax while the hair and makeup magic happens. We'll get to know each other a little, laugh a lot, and probably share some ridiculous stories. Once your hair and makeup is finished, it’s showtime! I promise, it's fun! If you're thinking- I don't know how to pose, I don't know what I'm doing... Guess what? You're not supposed to. It's my job to direct, instruct, and guide you the entire time. I will customize every pose to flatter your body and make sure that we show off your best assets. You will be shocked at how "not scary" the whole process is and afterward, you will already be planning your next session!
After we wrap up the photo shoot portion, we'll set up your ordering appointment. During your ordering appointment we will review the stunning images from your photo session and choose the finished product that best fits your needs. I will show you how retouching works and all of the products and goodies we have to offer. You will be amazed at how gorgeous you look and absolutely thrilled with your finished product!

ABOUT
When I first picked up a camera I had no idea that I would be changing the lives of the women that I photographed. What started out as a hobby quickly grew into a passion. 19 years later and I’m still at it.
Since opening my first studio in 2004, I have photographed thousands, yes thousands, of amazing women. Each one has her own fears, her own insecurities, and her own unique reason for choosing to do a boudoir session. I can tell you that every single woman that walked through my door felt stronger, more confident, and more beautiful after their session. This is why I love shooting boudoir.
If you're looking for an incredible gift for your significant other, this is for you. If you've been chasing toddlers in sweats and a ponytail for the last 3 years and just need to feel sexy for a change, this is for you. If you're newly single or married for 25 years, if you're a size 0 or 26, if you are 31 or 61, it doesn't matter! You can and should do this for yourself. Every woman deserves to feel bold, beautiful, and empowered.
I recently relocated from “Up North” and am so excited to be here in Charleston. Moving to South Carolina has been a dream for quite a long time, so it’s still a little surreal that I made the move.
I studied Fashion Design at Drexel and went to Cosmetology school before I became a completely self taught boudoir photographer and retoucher in 2004.
My husband is amazing- life gets crazy sometimes and he's along for the ride. We welcomed our first little babe, a girl named Logan True, in July 2018.
Animals are my jam. At home I have have 2 cats. I’m also trying to convince my husband to let me have some chickens, maybe a dog… and possibly a goat.
My uniform is Lululemon tights, a baseball cap or messy bun, and cute sneakers. Actual pants are the worst thing ever and complain whenever I have to wear them.
I am a total sports junkie and am OBSESSED with College Football. In case you are wondering I am an orange and purple girl. Go Tigers!
Crossfit… because working out with a heavy barbell makes me feel like a bad ass and I love to eat. A lot.
There is almost always a coffee in my hand. I only drink it black.
I am a firm believer in The Secret and that you can manifest anything your heart desires.
