Welcome to Arielle Roth Boudoir, a private boudoir photography studio in Downtown Bay City, Michigan creating inclusive boudoir photography and erotic art for real people with real bodies, real nerves, and real stories.
Whether you’re celebrating something, reclaiming something, documenting this version of yourself, or doing this for no reason other than “I want to,” your session is built around you. Your comfort. Your boundaries. Your story.
I’ll guide you through everything from outfits to posing, so you don’t have to know what you’re doing before you walk in. That’s literally my job.
Confidence looks good on you, babe.

The best boudoir photography experience I’ve ever had!
From start to finish, everything was perfect – so easygoing and laid-back that I wasn’t nervous at all. I’ve never felt more confident in my body. My boudoir photos turned out absolutely phenomenal. I can’t wait to book another session!

Boudoir is not about showing up already confident, perfectly posed, or magically comfortable in front of a camera.
Most clients walk into my Bay City studio nervous. That is completely normal. My job is to help you settle in, guide you through every pose, and create images that feel like you, not some overly edited version of you that looks like she has never had a pore, stretch mark, or life experience.
At Arielle Roth Boudoir, I photograph real bodies with intention, care, and a whole lot of direction. Every image is hand-edited individually with the goal of enhancing the photo, not changing you into a different person.
Whether you are coming from Bay City, Saginaw, Midland, Detroit, or somewhere else in Michigan, your session is designed to feel comfortable, personal, and actually doable.
Warning: side effects may include obsession with yourself.
Warning: side effects may include obsession with yourself.
Want to add a little extra drama, softness, spice, or weird little art-girl magic to your session?
My boudoir add-ons let you customize the mood of your shoot without changing the entire experience. You can keep it simple with Just the Sheets, go bold with Wet Skin, add drama with Angel Wings, bring in moodier elements with Kink, or choose something playful like Polaroids.
Add-ons allow your finished images to feel more like what you are drawn to.
Soft, bold, romantic, spicy, nostalgic, dramatic, or somewhere in between.
Arielle made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in until the very end. It felt like I was spending time with a friend rather than just doing a photo shoot. This was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and I would recommend a boudoir session with her to everyone!

A boudoir session is part photography, part posing, part lighting, part editing, part client experience, a whole lot of trust.
When you book with me, you are not expected to know how to pose, what angles work best, what to do with your hands, or how to magically feel comfortable in front of a camera. That is my job. I guide you through every pose, adjust the tiny details, use lighting intentionally, and create images that flatter you without turning you into someone else.
Every final image is individually hand-edited by me. Not batch-filtered. Not run through a preset and call it good. I edit with intention, enhancing the image while keeping you looking like you.
Your session also includes time in my private Downtown Bay City studio, professional hair and makeup done at my studio, access to my size-inclusive client closet, and an experience built around your comfort from the minute you walk in.
Boudoir is a specialty. It requires skill, patience, consent, trust, posing knowledge, editing experience, and the ability to make someone feel safe while being photographed in a vulnerable way.
So yes, there will always be cheaper options.
But cheaper does not automatically mean safer, more experienced, more comfortable, or better suited for the kind of experience you actually want.
Take your time. Do your research. Choose someone whose work you love, whose process you trust, and who knows how to photograph you with care.
Because this is not just about having pretty photos.
It is about feeling safe enough to actually be in them.
This is your proof you’re that girl.
This is your proof you’re that girl.
I’m the photographer, professional pose demonstrator, outfit over-thinker, emotional support human, and occasional chaos gremlin behind Arielle Roth Boudoir.
As a Michigan boudoir photographer based in Downtown Bay City, my job is not to stand behind a camera and expect you to magically know what to do. My job is to make this feel doable.
I’ll help you choose outfits, guide every pose, fix the tiny details, adjust lighting, hype you up when needed, and probably make you laugh at least once when you’re trying very hard to look serious.
My clients are not models. They are real women with real nerves, real stories, real bodies, and real lives. Some book for confidence. Some book for healing. Some book for a wedding, divorce, milestone, birthday, anniversary, or no official reason at all.
Whether you’re coming from Bay City, Saginaw, Midland, Detroit, or somewhere else in Michigan, your session is built around comfort first. The confidence part usually shows up somewhere along the way.

Welcome to my private boudoir studio in Downtown Bay City, Michigan. This is where the nerves start to settle, the outfits get overthought in the best way, and you realize this whole thing is probably going to be way less scary than you imagined.
The studio is designed to feel comfortable, safe, and personal from the second you walk in. You’ll have access to the 400+ piece client closet with sizes from XS-5XL, multiple set options, soft natural-feeling light, and add-ons like Wet Skin, Angel Wings, Just the Sheets, Kink, Honey, Colored Lighting, and Polaroids if you want to make your session feel even more like you.
It is private, judgment-free, and intentionally set up so you do not have to walk in knowing exactly what you want. We will figure it out together.
Spoiler: you’re gonna love these.
Spoiler: you’re gonna love these.
A boudoir session with Arielle Roth Boudoir is not just standing in front of a camera and hoping for the best. It is a guided, personalized experience designed to help you feel comfortable before we ever worry about feeling confident.
Your session includes:
Professional hair and makeup with select packages
A chance to settle in, relax, and ease into the experience before your session begins.
Full posing guidance
I’ll walk you through every pose, expression, hand placement, and tiny adjustment. You are not expected to know how to do this.
Access to the client closet
You’ll have access to 400+ pieces in sizes XS-5XL, including bodysuits, sets, robes, corsets, bralettes, and accessories.
A private image reveal and ordering appointment
You’ll see your images for the first time and choose what you love, whether that is digital images, an album, wall art, or prints.
Optional session add-ons
Add-ons like Just the Sheets, Angel Wings, Wet Skin, Kink, Honey, Colored Lighting, and Polaroids let you customize the mood of your session.
Every session is built around your comfort, your boundaries, and the kind of images you actually want to create.

Not sure what to wear for your boudoir session? Very normal.
You’ll have access to my size-inclusive client closet with 400+ pieces in sizes XS-5XL, including bodysuits, sets, robes, corsets, bralettes, and accessories. So no, you do not need to show up with a suitcase full of lingerie or magically know what photographs best.
Before your session, you’ll also receive outfit guidance so you can feel prepared without overthinking every single detail. Whether you bring your own pieces, borrow from the client closet, wear something simple, or choose something a little more bold, I’ll help you pick options that work for your body, your comfort level, and the kind of images you want to create.
The outfit matters, but it is not the whole session. Posing, lighting, direction, comfort, and trust do a lot more heavy lifting than most people realize.
Hot girl energy, unlocked.

Boudoir is personal, emotional, and very human, but there are still a few real things that matter when choosing your photographer.
You do not have to walk in already confident.
You just need to be willing to see yourself differently.
400+ pieces in my size-inclusive client closet
1 private session per day so my focus is fully on you
Full posing guidance from your face to your fingertips

You’ll never see yourself the same again.
You’ll never see yourself the same again.
Along with boudoir, I also photograph weddings throughout Michigan in a documentary, story-focused way.
My approach to wedding photography is not about forcing every moment to look perfect. It is about paying attention to what is actually happening. The teary vows. The nervous getting-ready energy. The way your partner looks at you when nobody else notices. The tiny in-between moments you might miss while you’re busy living the day.
As a Bay City wedding photographer serving couples across Michigan, including Saginaw, Midland, Frankenmuth, Detroit, and beyond, I focus on candid, natural wedding photography that feels like your day instead of a staged version of it.
You bring the love story, the people, the chaos, the happy tears, and the dance floor nonsense.
I’ll document it honestly.
The photos Arielle took are stunning! I left the session feeling strong, confident, and overall excited! If you have been considering booking a session, now is your time! I promise you won’t regret it!

What’s one thing that makes you feel confident?
I’ll go first, having my nails and lashes done. I instantly feel more put together even if I haven’t done anything else with myself that day.

One of my favorite things about offering payment plans?
It means you don’t have to choose between booking now and waiting until everything feels “perfect.”
All my packages are eligible for a custom payment plan that works with your budget and timeline.

"From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable, confident, and completely at ease. Arielle created such a welcoming and empowering environment that made the entire shoot feel natural and fun. I was honestly nervous beforehand, but she hyped me up the whole time and made me feel beautiful in every pose.
The photos turned out absolutely incredible and exceeded all my expectations. If you’re thinking about booking a boudoir session, do it. You will leave feeling so confident and empowered. Highly recommend!"

Session prep tip:
Drink some water in the days leading up to your session.
Not because I`m about to give you some weird wellness lecture.
Because you`re going to bending like a pretzel.
You`ll feel better the next day after if you`re hydrated.

Something I`ve heard from a few people lately:
"I`m interested, but I`m really nervous."
And listen, I`d be more surprised if you weren`t.
Most clients walk through the studio door nervous.
That`s completely normal.

It`s been one whole year since coming to the new studio (peep the selfie from my first session here), and it still feels a bit like a pinch me moment when I come in. Sometimes it`s crazy to reflect on a years growth because it`s a lot of time while simultaneously being no time at all.
I generally am someone who will do things on a whim with the belief it`ll work out, and deciding to take a chance by saying yes has continued to still be a pretty rad decision.
Thanks for being here. 💕

I believe in helping women celebrating their figures, finding your confidence, and being part of you filling your want to simply feel beautiful and relish in it.
