Ever thought about stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something just for you? A boudoir session might be exactly what your soul – and camera roll – needs.
As a Michigan boudoir photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative these sessions can be. And no, it’s not about being a model or fitting into some outdated beauty standard. It’s about celebrating yourself exactly as you are.
Whether you’re based in Bay City, Saginaw, Midland, or beyond, here are the top 5 reasons to book a boudoir session – and what makes it so damn empowering.
Life moves fast. We hit goals, face challenges, care for others, and rarely pause to acknowledge our own growth. A boudoir session is your permission slip to slow down and see yourself – really see yourself.
Boudoir photography is a celebration of the skin you’re in. Whether you’re recovering from heartbreak, thriving in your glow-up era, or just want to feel sexy again – it’s a beautiful way to document who you are in this moment.
This isn’t just photography. This is empowerment boudoir in Michigan – and yes, you deserve it.
I’ve had clients walk into my Bay City boudoir studio shy, nervous, and unsure of what to expect. And guess what? They leave strutting like Beyoncé.
There’s something about seeing yourself through someone else’s lens – especially one designed to celebrate you. The experience is less about seduction and more about self-acceptance. You’ll walk away with stunning images and a renewed sense of power.
Want a little extra oomph? Many of my packages include professional boudoir hair and makeup – plus access to a 350+ piece lingerie client closet with inclusive sizing.
Planning a surprise for your wedding day? Want to spice up an anniversary? Or maybe you’re in a long-distance relationship and want to send a steamy reminder of just how lucky they are.
A boudoir album is personal, intimate, and unforgettable. It’s a gift that shows vulnerability, confidence, and thoughtfulness all at once. Whether you’re into classic lingerie sets, angel wings, or wet skin boudoir photos, you’ll create a custom experience your partner will treasure forever.
And let’s be real – you get to keep the photos, too.
Turning 30? 40? 50+? Going through a glow-up after a breakup? Booking a bridal boudoir session before your wedding? Boudoir is a powerful way to document transitions.
My clients often book sessions to celebrate:
Birthdays
Weight loss journeys
Sober anniversaries
Post-divorce healing
Gender transitions
Pre-baby (maternity boudoir, anyone?)
Or just because they damn well want to
And years from now, you’ll look back and say, “Damn. That was me. I did that.”
Let’s not overthink it – boudoir is FUN. From picking out outfits in the client closet, to getting pampered with hair and makeup, to giggling mid-pose because you never thought you’d feel this confident in a thong…it’s a vibe.
I create a space that’s full of hype, laughter, chill music, flattering light, and zero pressure. My private Bay City boudoir studio is a judgment-free zone where everyone belongs – no matter your age, size, identity, or comfort level.
Oh, and you get sneak peeks within 48 hours. Because let’s face it, you’re going to want to see them immediately.
When was the last time you had a day all about you? From the moment you walk into my studio, everything is catered to your comfort, energy, and vision. Sip some bubbly, let your playlist set the mood, and watch yourself bloom.
With payment plans, seasonal specials, and flexible options like weekday sessions, boudoir doesn’t have to break the bank. You don’t need to go full luxury – unless you want to.
Let’s debunk that myth right now. Your beauty isn’t waiting on a number. I work with plus-size clients, older women, post-baby bodies, and every shape in between. Boudoir is for everyBODY.
Curious about the process? Here’s how it works:
Submit Your Inquiry – I’ll send over a full pricing guide and availability
Secure Your Spot – Pay your retainer and sign your contract
Pre-Shoot Questionnaire – Helps me tailor the experience to you
Wardrobe Planning + Prep Guide – Tips on what to bring, plus try-ons
Session Day! – Hair, makeup, music, and magic
Sneak Peeks Within 48 Hours
Image Reveal + Product Ordering Appointment

I did recently post about image permissions, but it’s been a question a few times again lately. So, another reminder! Regular sessions do not require giving me permissions (model calls, yes. regular sessions, no).
When you book a full session with me you choose your final image rights given to me; all image rights, non-identifiable rights, or no rights at all.
Model calls when I do them are so heavily discounted because they are being done for myself and those women are choosing to give me permissions in exchange for a discounted rate. At all times, image privacy and comfort is my top priority. There is never an image of someone shared that has not given me permission to do so, and is not something that needs to be a concern when booking with me! 💕

‼️ TWO Model Call Spots Remaining ‼️ - Model call spots are $250 each (a $1450 value) and the following add-ons can be done for an additional $50 each (angel wings, kink, just the sheets, wet skin, honey).
There are not specific dates, I send you my calendar with availability when you pay for July and August. If you are a normal session that needs to schedule, I am sending that calendar out next week and availabilort will begin in August.
Model calls are FULL sessions, with hair and makeup, and 3 outfits. You will get ALL of your images ($425 value) but you also have to give me ALL image permissions - non-identifiable will not be allowed because I will need to update all of my content across all channels with this new space.
DM me to claim - these will be on a first come first serve basis and must be paid in full. Again, it is $250 for a full session with hair and makeup but you must give ALL image permissions. Also feel free to tag anyone in the comments who may be interested. Current booked sessions cannot be changed to a model call price.
Available spots:
1. CLAIMED
2. CLAIMED
3. CLAIMED
4.
5.
Don’t forget - spots are not held for model calls until you have paid.

I was named Entrepreneur of the Month by @cmuresearchcorp , and I’m honestly still wrapping my head around it. 🥹
When I started Arielle Roth Boudoir, it was about so much more than pretty photos. It was about healing. It was about giving women a space to feel seen, safe, and powerful as hell. It was about taking my own pain and turning it into purpose. And today, I’m celebrating how far this dream has come.
Huge thank you to CMURC for recognizing the heart and hustle behind my studio. You can read the full press release, #LinkInBio - for a peek into the story, the mission, and where we’re headed next. ❤️🔥
To every woman who’s stepped in front of my lens, this is for you, too.

A quick PSA - I do not shoot boudoir for men, I shoot for the women in my studio.
A vast majority are healing from pain caused by past partners and trying to find themselves again. Do not try to figure out who the women I share are, do not message them asking them out or hitting on them, etc.
I appreciate my art being appreciated, and unlike porn (a harmful industry) it is not shot for male consumption. This is a career I am eternally grateful for and honored to be trusted with, I have worked incredibly hard to build a safe space. It is, as stated above, shot for the women in my studio to see themselves as they are - whole, worthy, sexy, beautiful - whatever they are hoping to see in themselves. Myself included as of late as I am healing from the same things.
If I do find out that you are in any way reaching out to my clients shared on my pages, harassing them, messaging them, etc - you will be blocked from all channels immediately.
Thank you

I believe in helping women celebrating their figures, finding your confidence, and being part of you filling your want to simply feel beautiful and relish in it.
