Frequently Asked Questions

How Much are Your Boudoir Sessions?

Packages start at $850 and include access to my private Downtown Bay City, Michigan boudoir studio, professional posing guidance, and more.

I'm Single - Can I still book?

Absolutely. Boudoir is a self-love experience first and foremost. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, healing, or just craving confidence, you’re more than welcome.

Can I keep my photos private?

Yes. Your privacy is always respected. I only share images with written permission, and you’ll choose your privacy level during your final reveal appointment.

I'm older (or not as thin) as the women featured on your page, can I still book a session?

1000% yes. Boudoir is for every body. I’ve worked with women of all sizes, shapes, and ages. Due to privacy requests, not all sessions are shown online – but trust me, this space is for you.

I don't know how to pose myself - will you help with this?

That’s exactly why you’re booking me. Every pose is guided, and all the women on my site? Not models. Through posing, lighting, and angles, I’ll help you feel confident and stunning.

Where will my boudoir session take place?

Sessions are held in my private boudoir studio in Downtown Bay City, Michigan, designed for empowerment and elegance. I also travel for sessions or shoot in hotel suites, Airbnbs, or private homes.

Do you do body altering / photoshop?

I believe in loving the skin you’re in. I do light retouching for things like blemishes or bruises but avoid major body altering. I’ll highlight your natural beauty with soft edits to your eyes, lips, and hair.

Do I do my own hair and makeup?

Hair and makeup is included in select packages, like my Glow Up and Luxe AF options. I highly recommend treating yourself to the full experience!

What should I wear?

Wear what makes you feel sexy and confident! I recommend 3–4 outfits that reflect your personality, flatter your body, and match your skin tone.

Need help deciding? I’ve got:

Are albums or prints included in the package?

You’ll receive a private online gallery of fully edited digital images. Albums and wall art can be purchased separately. We’ll go over print options at your album reveal session, with payment plans available.

How far in advance should I book my boudoir session?

I recommend booking 2–3 months ahead of when you want your prints or album in hand – especially for holidays, anniversaries, or weddings. Let me know your deadline when you inquire!

How do I book my session with you?

You can book directly through my Schedule a Session page or by filling out my Contact Form. After we chat about packages and dates, you’ll secure your spot with one of three options:

  • Pay in full (comes with a bonus!)

  • A flexible payment plan with $100 down

  • A 50/50 split
