Take an inside look into the boudoir transformational experience

I love my perfectly imperfect self.

Stepping into Shayna’s studio for my first boudoir shoot on my 52nd birthday was a whirlwind of nerves, excitement, and transformation. Overwhelmed by choices, Shayna swooped in, coordinating my looks and guiding me through every pose with ease.

The session was filled with laughter, great music, and a newfound confidence that radiated through every shot. My friends and family were amazed, and I knew I had to do it again. A year later, back with Shayna, the experience felt like reconnecting with friends, and together, we captured another masterpiece. Shayna didn’t just take photos; she gave me the power to love my perfectly imperfect self, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I feel more confident!

I feel like I stepped out of my comfort zone way more than I would. I haven’t had lingerie in years so buying items for the shoot was daunting but I was able many that really looked great on the photos. Definitely upped my confidence. After my photoshoot, I felt exhilarated. And I was very excited to see the photos. I had a terrible time trying to pick my favorites. I loved so many of them!

Meet Shayna

I believe that every woman deserves to be seen.

Through my own personal struggles I have realized that life is too short to stay hidden.

Life is about getting out of our comfort zones and making the most of what we have been given.  

Every woman deserves to be seen!  A portrait session just for you is a wonderful way to feel empowered.  Photography is not just about the photos, its about the experience of enjoying time with you!  Then using your photos to continue to remind yourself that you deserve to take up space and be seen. 

You deserve this!

YES! I WANT THIS EXPERIENCE.

GOT QUESTIONS?

YES!! Everyone and I mean everyone is at least a little bit nervous before their session.  Having photographed many women over the years – EVERYONE feels a bit nervous, scared or awkward.

I promise that once we get going and I show you the back of the camera, you will relax and get in the groove.

The good thing is you don’t have to!  Yay! That is my job. I will pose you down to your fingertips. You just need to be able to play “Shayna Says…” (I learned the game from Simon).  As long as you can follow directions we will be good to go. 

Your hair and make-up artistry is included in a full session.  Makeup only for a speciality session. The hair and makeup artist does this right at the studio just before your session.  You can bring ideas with you to give them inspiration or you can sit down and give the artist full reign.  This is all about you and how you want to look and feel, we all work with you to assure you love the final look

Only if you agree to it. I take your privacy very seriously.  Nothing is shared unless you give use permission on the signed Model Release and you don’t decide until after you have seen your portraits. I have 3 levels to my Model Release so you can choose what suits you best.

This session is about you, not me.  Of course I would always love to share your images as I want to encourage other women to see their beauty.  But, only if you agree to it!

It depends on what you want.  This is a session dedicated to embracing who you are and the vision that you want to portray in the portraits.

If you have a body, then you have a body for a boudoir session. Prior to the session we will talk about what you want to highlight about yourself so we will focus on those areas.  In my years of posing and lighting hundreds of women, I am an expert in getting your best angles and showing off how YOU want to be seen.

Anything or nothing.  Really!  It is most popular to wear lingerie.  But it is truly up to you.  I’ll help you design what to wear based on your goals, desires and what will look best on you.  You don’t have to wear all lingerie outfits, you can wear whatever makes you feel beautiful.

Wear a beautiful ballgown, a comfy sweater, your favorite lingerie or even your birthday suit – however you want to enjoy your session!
