Not all boudoir photographers are equal – see how my process sets your experience apart.
Whether it’s your first shoot or your fourth, I walk with you through every step. Here’s what to expect when you book a boudoir session with me in my private Bay City, Michigan studio.
Head over to the Contact Page and fill out the form to get the conversation started. I’ll send you a breakdown of my boudoir packages and availability.
Once we’ve chatted and you’re ready, I’ll get you officially on my calendar. You’ll receive a contract and invoice within 48 hours. Choose from available dates Wednesday - Sunday, all sessions begin at 9 AM.
You’ll receive a personalized pre-shoot form to help me understand your comfort zones, boundaries, style, and goals. This helps me plan your dream session down to the details.
Leading up to your session, you’ll receive helpful emails with everything from what to wear to how to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally for the experience.
This is your moment. Show up, get pampered, and let me guide you through posing and expression. I’ve got you, babe.
After we're done shooting I'll send you off to explore or grab lunch, my building also has a break room if you'd prefer to bring your own lunch. I'll spend about an hour culling through all of your photos. Once you return we'll get through all the RAW files and select your final image choices for me to edit, as well as any print products.
Your digital files will be delivered two weeks later to download*, as well as proofs for any print products you may have chosen to get those ordered.
If a payment plan is done for print products, digital downloads will not be available until that payment plan is completed.
Every client can choose privacy levels - your images are never shared without your written permission. Whether you’re sharing with someone special or keeping them just for yourself, this part is all about your empowerment.
This isn’t just about photos. It’s about reclaiming confidence, falling back in love with your body, and carrying that energy into your everyday life.
If you loved your experience (and I know you will), I’d love a review on Google. It helps other babes find their confidence, too.
Your session isn’t just a photoshoot – it’s a full-on confidence experience. If you’re feeling that little spark of curiosity (or maybe a full-on hell yes), let’s chat and get you on the books.
Fill out my inquiry form, and I’ll send over all the juicy details – session options, availability, payment plans, and everything you need to feel totally prepared.
Still have a few butterflies? That’s normal. I’ll be here every step of the way to walk you through it.

FAQ: 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, you don`t need to worry about a single one. I preplan out every session based on your questionnaire to ensure we are shooting for you, your wants, and your body. I do every pose myself first to show you what to do.
And all the women on my site? Not models. Through posing, lighting, and angles, I’ll help you feel confident and stunning.

Today is a big 1,826 days (5 years) sober.
Five years feels like a lifetime ago and also like the blink of an eye. I feel like an entirely different person while still learning to love the parts of me that will always be hard to love.
Sobriety isn’t rainbows and happiness. I don’t see today as celebratory so much as a moment of deep gratitude and pride. It’s also tied to tremendous trauma and grief that made it happen. This week is the hardest one every year.
Long-term recovery teaches you something people rarely say out loud: you don’t stop being an alcoholic or addict. You become one who consciously chooses sobriety every single day instead.
And still, it is the best decision I have ever made for myself.
My life is fuller and happier than it has ever been. I’m surrounded by incredible people. I know who I am on a level I never did before, and I love the person I’ve become.
My life today would not exist without getting sober. I wouldn’t be here without Ben’s death which led to relapse and quitting, and while there is resentment in that truth, there is also gratitude that it allowed me to become the safe space I try to be for the people around me.
I’ve lived through the two hardest heartbreaks of my life in these 5 years. Ben’s death at the start and then my ex I thought I’d marry and that life. I’m still healing and miss both everyday. Grief never gets easier, but there is a beauty in being able to feel it.
A few things I’ve learned between one and five years:
• Life is still better without alcohol.
• Emotions are signals, not problems.
• Trying to prove your worth is like dumpster diving for love.
• People give you what they are, not what you deserve.
• Being alone is more peaceful than proving your worth to someone who doesn’t care.
• Sobriety doesn’t fix everything. Learning the tools to cope does.
• Asking for help is brave.
• You can’t change the past. You can only choose what you do today.
• The most compassionate thing you can do for someone is actually listen.
Ending this the same way I did four years ago:
Your journey is one day at a time.
365 days or 1,826 may feel like forever, but tomorrow is still only 24 hours away.
Take it one day.

FAQ: Can I keep my photos private?

FAQ: How do payment plans work?
I know boudoir is an investment! At the time of scheduling you will select between pay in full at the time of booking (receive a free add-on). You can also choose between a 50/50 plan, or splitting the balance into 3, 5, or 7 equal payments. With both those options your first payment is due within 48 hours of booking and your final is due 7 days prior to your session.
See how those payment amounts break down: https://arothboudoir.com/PaymentPlans

I am excited to share that my piece “Gilded,” will be part of Under the Femme Gaze: Perspectives on Body, Power, and Self-Representation this upcoming weekend on the 13th and 14th at @thevoyeurbordello in Detroit. Which is extra special because the 13th is also my five years sober and what a really fucking rad way to celebrate that.
The exhibit is comprised of femme and female-identifying artists that are examining how we see ourselves and challenging societal beauty standards, gender norms, and power structure (if you’ve shot with me, you know these are all topics we are discussing all session).
The show is being done in partnership with @hydrafund, a grass roots mutual aid fund supporting abortion access in Michigan. All donations made at the door ($5 recommended) and 50% of all sales will go directly to support their organization.

If you’re feeling personally attacked by daylight savings today…just remember that messy hair, coffee, and staying in bed are a solid plan for the day.
Which are basically all what a boudoir session is, schedule yours here: https://bit.ly/ARBoudoirSchedule
