When you hear the phrase boudoir photography, you might imagine lingerie, poses, and a camera clicking away. In reality, boudoir photography is about so much more. It is about self love, empowerment, and creating a visual reminder of your strength and beauty. For women across Michigan, choosing the right boudoir photographer makes all the difference. That is why I have created a studio designed with intention, comfort, and transformation in mind.
In this blog, I will share what sets my Michigan boudoir photography studio apart. From the space itself, to the client experience, to the little details that create unforgettable sessions.
One of the first things that makes my boudoir photography unique is the setting. My studio in Bay City, Michigan, is a space intentionally designed to feel both luxurious and inviting. It is not a hotel room or rented location, it is a private studio curated for boudoir, complete with multiple sets, flattering natural light, and features like:
A bed setup with crisp white sheets for intimate and cozy shots
A dramatic floral wall for romantic and feminine portraits
A leather chair, bench, and egg chair for bold editorial style poses
Mirrors and window light for striking and sensual imagery
Unlike generic spaces, every corner of my studio has been designed to capture a different mood, giving clients variety and a gallery that feels like them.
Many women worry about what to wear for their boudoir shoot. That is why I have built a client closet of more than 400 lingerie pieces, ranging in size and style. Whether you love lace, want something bold, or prefer body suits, there is something for everyone.
You can come to your shoot empty handed or bring your own favorites and mix them in. I even offer try ons before the session so you feel confident in what you are wearing.
Boudoir photography often gets mistaken as something reserved for young women or certain body types. That could not be further from the truth. My Michigan boudoir studio is built on the belief that every woman deserves to feel beautiful, powerful, and celebrated.
I have photographed clients in their 20s and their 60s. I have worked with mothers, brides to be, women celebrating major milestones, and women simply choosing to do this for themselves. No matter your age, size, or background, you are welcome in my space.
Your boudoir session begins with professional hair and makeup done by me. This is not about covering up who you are, but enhancing your natural beauty so you feel confident from the very first click of the camera.
I create soft glam looks that photograph beautifully while still feeling like you. Whether you love bold lashes or prefer something natural, we customize your look to match your vibe.
To make your boudoir session even more unique, I offer a range of add ons that bring variety and artistry to your gallery. Some of my most popular options include:
Angel Wings: Dramatic and high fashion vibes with couture inspired wings
Wet Skin: A sensual and editorial look with water inspired shine
Honey: Adds a radiant glow that makes skin pop under studio lighting
These add ons are not just fun, they create images that feel one of a kind.
No two women are alike, so no two sessions should feel the same. From our first conversation, I learn about your style, your vision, and your comfort level. I walk you through poses, guide your expressions, and cheer you on the whole way.
Clients often tell me they arrive nervous but leave feeling like models, and that transformation is one of the biggest reasons my studio stands apart.
I believe boudoir should be accessible to everyone, not just a luxury for a few. That is why I offer payment plans and keep my packages as affordable as possible while still delivering high end service.
Every package includes digitals, because I believe you deserve to walk away with images you can enjoy forever.
Although my studio is in Bay City, I regularly work with clients who travel from Detroit, Ann Arbor, Saginaw, Midland, Lansing, and even West Branch and Alpena. Why? Because women are searching for a boudoir photographer who offers more than photos. They want an experience that makes them feel seen, valued, and empowered.
The drive is always worth it for the transformation.
The most powerful part of boudoir photography is hearing from women after their sessions. Many clients share that they have never seen themselves so beautifully, that the experience gave them confidence, and that their photos became lifelong reminders of their worth.
Adding client testimonials here helps potential clients connect to the experience on a deeper level.
Michigan boudoir photography is not just about creating sexy photos. At my Bay City studio, it is about creating an empowering and transformative experience where every woman feels confident, beautiful, and celebrated.
From the private studio to the client closet, add ons, and personalized guidance, I have designed every detail to set my studio apart.
If you have been thinking about booking a boudoir session in Michigan, let this be your sign. You deserve to see yourself in a whole new light.

Today, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am feeling full of gratitude and gratefulness, especially looking back to even a year ago.
Everything I have would not be possible without my family, my friends, and those of you I consider both. None of it would exist without the outpouring of love and support.
When I reflect on the past year, there has been so much tremendous growth, healing, laughter, love, and happiness that fills this community I have built. I will probably never be able to fully articulate how much it truly means to me.
So to everyone who has supported me and been there for me, simply thank you today.

Starting in 2026, I’m making a few changes that will make your whole boudoir experience smoother, easier, and honestly…way more fun.
First, pricing goes up on January 1. If you already know you want to get in front of my camera, this is your heads up to grab your date now and lock in the current pricing before it changes. No surprises later.
Sessions are also shifting to a single start time. Every boudoir shoot will begin at 9 AM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It gives you the best light, the best flow, and keeps your glam looking fresh.
And reveals are getting a glow-up. Instead of coming back on another day, you’ll head out for lunch or wander downtown for about an hour after your session, then swing back to the studio for your same-day reveal. We will go through your images together with light editing, no retouching, and pick your final favorites while the energy is still high.

"Such an incredible experience with Arielle! The tips and guide leading up to the session make it super unique, the session itself is so much fun and feels like a fun girls day out, then the pictures turn out amazing! I feel so beautiful looking at these pictures of myself and had such a great time with the shoot and getting to know Arielle. I would highly recommend getting a shoot done with Arielle Roth Boudoir."
