Boudoir is for ALL women.

I want to encourage you to really do this for you.

I'm SO excited you are here considering me as your photographer and wanting to have a boudoir experience with me. I love nothing more than empowering everyday women to see their beauty again. In my studio we're all about rocking your confidence.. And yes even if you don’t have confidence this experience is for YOU!

Boudoir is for ALL women. You don't need anyone to give these photos to, you don't need to lose weight and you don't need to have confidence. None of that is required to book a session. I'm here for you and you will have a life changing experience you won't regret!!

You may be a bit nervous.

I know, I know... guess what?

ALL my clients have felt nervous one way or another. It is so normal and I honestly expect you to be. I have been there myself from my own shoots! It's so scary to be vulnerable with your body and getting out of your comfort zone. I promise there is nothing like the feeling of atually doing it and then seeing the result.

A BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE IS THE

ULTIMATE CONFIDENCE BOOST!

I give a boudoir experience. All my clients will say they got WAY more than just a photo shoot. They have an experience that pushed them out of their comfort zone, gave them confidence, embraced their insecurities and jumped on the journey of learning they deserve self love.

I will become your BIGGEST cheerleader inside and outside the studio. I truly love building relationships with my clients and telling their stories. I would love to have you!

Pre-Payment Plan

Payment Plans

I know investing that much on yourself can feel scary, so the most asked question we get is... "Do you offer payment plans?" YES! I never ever want finances to stop you from having this empowering experience. We have many flexible payments plans to fit any budget.

Post Payment Plan

Pre + Post Payment Plan

Let me be your own personal boudie bank. I don't know about you but I'm HORRIBLE at saving. So why not let me help you. Go in whenever you want and make any payment you'd like.

This is our most popular plan. 

You have 12 months to pay off your session but you must put down 15% to start this at your reveal session.

Combine the two payment plans.

WE ACCEPT ALL FORMS OF CREDIT INCLUDING PAYPAL CREDIT.

"She has such an infectious personality and you can’t help but be in a good mood when you’re around her!"

"My favorite part of the day was being able to be open and vulnerable about my “why” for doing this photo shoot. I threw a lot on Sydney when I opened up about being a victim of sexual assault and she sat there and listened intently to my whole story. I never once felt judged, like she pitied me, or uncomfortable after opening up to her. Being able to talk to Sydney about something so deep, and us only knowing each other for a couple of hours really shows just how much she cares about her clients."

" I don’t think I have ever felt the feeling of empowerment until after my session."

"I should start off by saying that I felt a boudoir session was completely out of my element for many reasons; too old, too overweight; not pretty enough…. You name it, I felt/thought it. Even on the day of my session during my drive to the studio, I thought to myself that there was no way I was going to look anywhere close to the women who allowed their photos to be shared from their session. Ladies, I was SO WRONG!! I can’t even put into words how I felt leaving the studio after my session. I don’t think I have ever felt the feeling of empowerment until after my session; I don’t think I have ever felt beautiful until after my reveal..."

"You gave me a part of myself that I didn't know existed"

"I felt confident. And beautiful. and sexy. and EMPOWERED."

"Sydney was so amazing and helped bring out a side of me that's been buried deep for some time. I felt so confident and sexy...."

"I can NOT wait to see my photos!!!! Thank you also to Melissa for a great job with hair and makeup! I felt like such a celebrity today. Mission accomplished ladies. If anyone is considering doing a boudoir shoot. - DO ITTTTT!!!!"

II'm a specialized boudoir photographer. What does that mean? I ONLY shoot boudoir. You can trust I am a professional in what I do. I became a boudoir photographer because I got to combine my 3 favorite things... photography, women empowerment and fashion! I truly do have the BEST job in the world. I have photographed more than 150+ women of all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and more. I am probably the LEAST intimidating person you could come get naked with. I get it, maybe you have never met me and wondering how the hell you're supposed to feel comfortable...

Well I will say the compliment I get the most is how comfortable I make my clients feel. I'm a 4'10, 27 year old woman. I'm the clumsiest there can be, always cracking jokes, and I'm a professional hype woman. I will feel like your new best friend!

I live on Starbucks and energy drinks but ironically appreciate all things clean beauty and organic. I spend most of my time with my cutie fiancé who I just opened up a lingerie boutique with called Roze. We are big dreamers. I love a good tv show like Game Of Thrones, Stranger Things or anything with something supernatural. If I'm playing music it has to have a good beat but if you play early 2000s, Yeah by Usher or anything Eminem then I'm jamming out. I'm very much an introvert but trust me I can talk to anyone! Oh and I love a good story so we can talk all day. 






Your new best friend and hype woman.

Hi, I'm Sydney.
