It's time to Celebrate You
(Not Just) Bridal Boudoir
Many of my brides choose to do boudoir sessions as a timeless, heartfelt gift for their future spouses. But more than anything, it becomes a gift for themselves. Boudoir is an empowering, deeply affirming experience—one that reveals your beauty with the same artful, editorial eye I bring to your wedding day. You don’t have to be engaged, married, or even dating; there’s never a wrong moment to celebrate who you are right now.
And because these images deserve more than a forgotten folder on your phone, we offer bespoke boudoir albums crafted with the same care and intention as our wedding heirlooms. Whether you’re surprising your partner or simply honoring yourself, your boudoir artwork will be designed to feel elegant, elevated, and authentically you.
Let's be honest, this is for You
Meet Your Photographer
I've done it.
and I loved it.
Hi – my name's Abby! I first got into boudoir photography after a session of my own. I was SO nervous going in, and worried about how my body would look in the photos. In the end it was one of the most affirming experiences I've ever had! I stopped worrying about how I looked, and enjoyed feeling confident in myself. That's the feeling I want to give to all of my clients. Self-love, and self confidence.
From the moment you step into the studio, the entire boudoir experience is designed to make you feel confident, cared for, and beautifully at ease. We’ll guide you through every detail—from flattering wardrobe choices to natural, effortless posing that highlights your best features. You’ll never be left wondering what to do; I direct you the whole way so you can simply relax and enjoy the process.
Most clients are surprised by how freeing it feels, and how quickly the nerves melt away! When your session is over, you leave with more than photographs — you'll leave with a renewed sense of confidence and a stunning collection of images that reflect the strength and beauty you carry every day. And if you want an album to gift your significant other, or prints to commemorate the experience, our design team is there to help!

I absolutely LOVED working with Abby! I was a bit self-conscious about being on camera, but she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. We ended up having a lot of fun! I was very happy with the photos. There were a lot of classic poses as you’d expect, but also some very creative and fun poses as well!
