Collaborating with clients before their boudoir session is a part of the process that makes the session a bit less scary for some. When we talk through the clothing, the poses, and the overall feel of the session, I can feel them opening up, and I can see their fears turning into excitement.

This connection is so vital to the outcome: you loving your photos!

“Shayna is very collaborative – the pre-shoot planning session was a great time to connect and think about some of the options available and what might work best.”

This was such a lovely compliment knowing this sexy lady has had boudoir sessions with other photographers! Even though she wasn’t nervous about the session, she noticed that the collaborative part made her feel more part of the process and more connected to the photos.

The studio space is also great, and I loved some of the shot techniques – the “movement” of fabric, shooting through the prism, and the glass vase/bowl. I loved that candlelight set.  It’s just such a beautiful mood.”

Our job here is to make you feel beautiful and see yourself as we do, as a beautiful piece of art. Each client has different desires for their session, but they all want to see themselves differently.

Sometimes that means taking a bit of a risk, daring to try a technique or a movement that brings a whole new dimension to the photos. I love clients who are willing to walk that journey with me!

During the consultation before the session, we talk through fears, how bold you want to be, and what story you want to tell. However, don’t be surprised that during the session, your desires shift a bit. If that happens, we go with it! While I always want to work within your comfort zone, if you are feeling bold, just tell me, and let’s see where it takes us.

Shayna is just lovely.  So easy to work with.”


I love being able to make the boudoir process fun and easy, from the very first point of contact. I know I love it when I find a professional who can lead me through a process and I love the results. It’s kind of like finding a trusted hairstylist that you can say “do your thing!’ and they give you a cut and color that you never would have imagined and it looks and makes you feel fabulous!

It’s definitely a boost.  Being a bigger plus size, feeling sexy / beautiful / pretty is definitely not a regular occurrence.  But doing boudoir and seeing the final image is a huge boost. “

A boudoir session is a boost!  We all need more boosts up in our lives no matter what your body type is. We all have the same fears, worries, societal pressures. None of that exists during a boudoir session, and the photos that result will help you feel empowered and fierce. 

Are you ready to collaborate with us on a session that will give you the boost that you deserve? Get in touch and get on our schedule!
