Many women book boudoir sessions looking for confidence. Many women book retreats looking for rest and reflection.
This experience combines both.
The Wild Confidence Retreat is designed as a complete confidence experience, where personal reflection, community, and photography come together in a meaningful way.
Throughout the weekend, we will spend intentional time slowing down, exploring the beautiful landscape of Hocking Hills State Park, and creating space for real conversations about self image, growth, and self trust.
Your boudoir sessions are an important part of the experience, giving you the opportunity to celebrate your body, your story, and the person you are becoming.
No experience with meditation or boudoir photography is necessary. This retreat is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and completely judgment free.
Your retreat experience includes everything needed for a restorative and empowering weekend in Hocking Hills, Ohio.
Private lodging in a beautiful Hocking Hills Airbnb
All meals for the weekend
Guided self love and personal reflection workshops
Morning meditation sessions
Hiking in Hocking Hills State Park

No experience is necessary. Many women attending the Wild Confidence Retreat will be experiencing boudoir photography for the first time. Arielle Roth guides every session with posing direction and encouragement so you feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience.
Not at all. While Arielle Roth is a Michigan boudoir photographer based in Bay City, this retreat is located in Logan, Ohio and welcomes women traveling from both Michigan and Ohi and beyond.
Many guests will travel from areas like Detroit, Grand Rapids, Midland, Saginaw, Cleveland, Columbus, and the surrounding Hocking Hills region.
Guests will receive a preparation guide before the retreat with recommendations for outfits, styling, and packing. Many women bring items such as:
• lingerie
• oversized sweaters
• robes
• bodysuits
• personal pieces that make them feel confident
Both indoor and outdoor sessions will be styled to match your comfort level.
Yes. Outdoor boudoir sessions will be photographed in secluded areas within the Hocking Hills region on the AirBNB property where privacy and comfort are prioritized.
These sessions are styled in a tasteful, empowering way that celebrates confidence and connection with nature.
No. This retreat is designed to support rest and reflection. While workshops and group experiences are available, you are welcome to participate at the level that feels right for you.
If you’ve been looking for a boudoir experience in Michigan that combines high-end styling, comfort, and radical confidence? This is it. My Bay City boudoir studio is here for every body, every story, and every self-love journey.

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

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.
Flyer Design: @claudiachaos

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

Should I add the cloud set to my options of session add-ons and quickie session options? 🫣😏
Disclaimer: if you are 100% against AI this would not be the set for you. While it is all done initially through photography and set design, Adobe generative AI features in Lightroom and Photoshop are utilized to extend the background and clouds as needed.

PSA: as I have shared, I have spent all of January and February very sick. I am still trying to catch up currently and give my body time to rest at the same time. I will be out of state the 18-24 for my best friend’s wedding and would like to be 100% caught up and have zero albums to get out at that time so when I am back in office it is just new sessions. I am closing down the remainder of my March days. If you need to get in rushed for some reason this month, you can reach out to me directly and I can see what I can do but they will not be bookable online.
I am thankful to have a full calendar, but right now your girl also needs some time to just recover and get caught up on editing after not being able to function for two months.

With boudoir’s popularity rising, I know it’s tempting to book a cheaper option. But cheaper doesn’t mean safer, better, or more empowering.
I’ve spent years mastering how to pose every body type, use light to flatter you, and edit with intention.
Your session takes an average of 7 hours in-studio and another 10-15 hours of editing to ensure your album is absolutely perfect. While also offering a 400+ size-inclusive client closet, hair & makeup, and a private boudoir studio in Downtown Bay City, Michigan.
With over 300+ women photographed and formal boudoir training under my belt, I compare boudoir to newborn photography; it is a niche genre that requires skill, patience, and respect.
If you’re ready to book a boudoir session, take your time. Do your research. Choose someone who knows how to photograph you beautifully and make you feel safe, powerful, and seen.
Because you’re worth investing in.
