Hey There, I'm Arielle!

Your Personal Hype Girl + Bay City Boudoir Photographer
Empowering women through self-love, storytelling, and seriously transformative sessions

Welcome. I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m Arielle Roth, a full-time Michigan boudoir photographer, designer, and personal cheerleader for women reclaiming their confidence. My studio is tucked in beautiful Downtown Bay City, Michigan, where I create a safe, judgment-free space for every woman - no matter her size, story, or season of life.

Why I Do What I Do

My journey into boudoir photography started as a way to reconnect with my creativity, but quickly became something more: a path to healing. I got sober in March of 2021 after five years of struggling - and in that sobriety, I had to face a difficult truth: I didn’t know how to love myself without numbing the pain.

Through therapy, self-care, and photography, I began to rebuild. And somewhere along the way, I realized that I could help other women do the same.

What a Session with Me Feels Like

Every woman who walks into my Bay City boudoir studio brings something powerful with her - whether she knows it yet or not. My job? To help her see it.

Here’s what you can expect:

A warm, relaxed environment with real conversation and real connection
Full posing guidance and the freedom to laugh, let go, and feel sexy
A session that celebrates your beauty - including the parts you still question
A safe space to be held, heard, and hyped the hell up

My sessions aren’t just about photos - they’re about transformation. I watch you arrive nervous, sometimes unsure, and I watch you leave ready to keep going. And in those moments, I’m reminded of why I love this work so damn much.

A Bit More About Me

I’ve been a photographer and graphic designer for nearly a decade

I shoot boudoir, branding, weddings, seniors, couples, and more (just no newborns!)

I believe every body is beautiful and worthy of being photographed

I run a private studio in Bay City, Michigan, with access to my inclusive 350+ piece client closet

I’m an open book when it comes to sobriety, trauma, healing, and self-love

Most of all, I’m here to make a difference, not just take pretty pictures.
