Welcome to Arielle Roth Boudoir, where every woman – no matter her age, shape, size, or story – is invited to rediscover herself in a bold, empowering light. Based in Bay City, Michigan, I specialize in luxury boudoir photography that celebrates your body, confidence, and sensuality.
Capturing Real & Authentic Bodies

Whether this is your first session or your fifth, I’m here to help you feel beautiful, seen, and celebrated. I capture real, authentic bodies - without heavy retouching or unrealistic poses. My goal? To create images that remind you just how radiant you are.
Why is boudoir photography so "expensive?"
It isn't just a camera and a preset, it's an art.

What to Wear for Your Boudoir Shoot
Not sure what to bring or wear? I’ve got you. With a size-inclusive client closet and my curated boudoir outfit guide, I’ll help you pick flattering, fun, and feel-good pieces – whether that’s lace, leather, or nothing at all.
Expect to be pampered, empowered, and celebrated. Your boudoir session is all about you – your beauty, your confidence, and your story.
Here’s what the experience typically looks like:
Hair & Makeup: You’ll start the day getting glammed up by me if you select a package that includes it! I’ll create a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself – whether that’s soft and natural or bold and sultry.
Client Closet Access: You’ll have full access to my 350+ piece client closet. We’ll pick out pieces that flatter your body and match your vision, and yes – try-ons are totally part of the fun!
Guided Posing: Don’t worry about posing – I’ll coach you every step of the way. I’ll demonstrate everything and guide you into poses that flatter your unique shape and energy.
Chill, Judgment-Free Vibes: My private studio in Bay City is a safe, inclusive space. Think music, laughter, and a “hype girl” energy that helps you relax and feel amazing.
Confidence Boost Included: Most of my clients walk in nervous and walk out glowing. This isn’t just a photoshoot – it’s an experience that reminds you of your worth.
Not at all! That’s my job – not yours.
Most of my clients walk in saying, “I have no idea what I’m doing,” and walk out looking like they just stepped out of a magazine. I’ll guide you through every single pose from head to toe – even your fingertips. I demonstrate each one, help adjust your angles, and make sure you feel confident and comfortable the entire time.
Whether you’re a total beginner or secretly a pro in front of the mirror, I’ve got you. Your only job is to show up, breathe, and trust the process – I’ll handle the rest.
Whatever makes you feel confident, sexy, and unapologetically you.
The good news? You don’t have to stress about bringing anything at all – I’ve got you covered with access to my 300+ piece client closet, featuring everything from delicate lace sets and bold bodysuits to oversized sweaters and edgy accessories. We’ll go through options together, and I’ll help you choose outfits that flatter your body and match your vibe.
Want to bring your own pieces? You’re more than welcome to! Some client favorites include:
A favorite bra & panty set
An oversized button-down or robe
Sheer or lace bodysuits
Leather, harnesses, or anything with attitude
Meaningful items like a partner’s shirt, jersey, or something from your wedding day
Still unsure? I also offer in-studio try-ons so we can figure out what feels best the day of.
Yes – in most packages, and is done at my studio!
Professional hair and makeup is included in my middle and top-tier boudoir packages to give you the full, pampered experience. I’ll glam you up myself with a customized look that matches your vibe – from soft and natural to bold and dramatic. It’s the perfect way to ease into the shoot, relax, and feel confident from the start.
Either way, you’ll look amazing and feel even better.
Absolutely – every image you select is professionally edited and retouched by me with care.
I focus on natural, polished edits that enhance your beauty without changing who you are. Think: soft skin smoothing, blemish removal, and gentle adjustments to lighting, tone, and color. I’ll never overly Photoshop or distort your body – I believe in celebrating you exactly as you are, with just a touch of refinement to help you shine.
You’ll get a gallery of images that feel bold, empowering, and totally you – just elevated to their most radiant form.
