I didn’t start this journey just for the art (though I love it). I started shooting boudoir because it became a huge part of my own self-love and healing. After battling addiction for years, I got sober in March 2021 following the loss of my best friend - the man I loved - to an overdose. That moment shifted everything.
I had to learn how to love myself without numbing, without running, and without distraction. Boudoir gave me a purpose. It gave me a way to reconnect with my body, my confidence, and my worth. Now I get to help other women do the same.
The women who walk through my studio doors aren’t models - they’re survivors, mothers, dreamers, and everyday badasses. They are the women rebuilding themselves after divorce, healing from trauma, celebrating weight loss or recovery, navigating transitions, or simply craving a moment to feel seen.
Some of the most impactful stories I’ve been honored to witness include:
A woman finding confidence after an abusive marriage
A trans woman allowing me to photograph her for the first time in her true identity
A fellow sober woman who booked me because of the openness I share about my journey
Women of all sizes who finally felt celebrated in front of the camera
Boudoir isn’t about perfection. It’s about ownership, visibility, and empowerment.
My goal isn’t just to take stunning photos - though we’ll do plenty of that. It’s to hold space for your transformation.
When you arrive at my Bay City, Michigan boudoir studio, I know you’ll probably be nervous. You might even second-guess why you booked this. But by the end of our time together, I promise: you will leave glowing. You'll see yourself in a new light - strong, powerful, radiant.
Together, we’ll laugh, try different poses, share stories, and create magic - whether you’re rocking lace lingerie or wrapped in my plush white sheets on the blue velvet couch. You’ll learn to appreciate your body for all that it is, even the parts you used to hide.
Located in Downtown Bay City, my private boudoir studio is more than just a photo space – it’s a sanctuary.
With lush plants, warm candles, luxe textures, and that iconic egg chair everyone loves, I’ve designed every corner to feel like a cozy retreat. A place where you’re held, empowered, and invited to show up as your full self.
This isn’t just photography. It’s a movement. A mission. And for me, it’s my greatest accomplishment. Every woman who chooses me, trusts me, and allows me into her journey - that’s my why. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again—or meet a version of you you’ve never seen before—I would be honored to be the one to guide you through it.
FAQ: Can I keep my photos private?
A: Yes. Your privacy is always respected. I only share images with written permission, and you’ll choose your privacy level after your reveal.

Minimal doesn’t mean boring. It means timeless, elegant, and beautifully vulnerable. My Just the Sheets add-on uses only soft white sheets and natural body lines to tell a story that’s raw, emotional, and intimate.
Ideal for clients who want to keep it simple while still creating deeply powerful images by letting your natural energy shine without distraction. It’s subtle, sensual, and makes space for your personality to take center stage.

“I’ve had the best experiences being photographed with Arielle! She is beyond talented in all aspects; hair and makeup, her ability to give pose direction and provide comforting guidance was second to none. I have worked with Arielle twice now and both times she has been extremely professional and very knowledgeable in her trade! I can’t say enough good!”
