A Private and Personalized boudoir Experience
Private, Personalized Boudoir Photography in Portland, Maine
You are not expected to know how to do this.
That is what you are hiring me for.
Before you Reserve
Deciding Whether Boudoir Is Something You Actually Want to Do
You are encouraged to begin with questions.
Perhaps you have wanted boudoir portraits for years. Perhaps someone suggested them yesterday. Perhaps you love intimate portraiture but dislike almost everything you associate with traditional boudoir. Perhaps you are curious but cannot imagine yourself wearing lingerie in front of a camera.
None of those things disqualify you.
Before asking you to reserve anything, I want you to understand what boudoir with me can be, what it costs, what is included, how privacy works, and whether my approach feels right for you.

6. HAIR & MAKEUP
Before I Photograph You, I Want to Know You.
I do not want to learn who you are while I am already holding the camera.
Your consultation gives us room to talk about what drew you to boudoir, photographs you respond to, photographs you do not, how you normally dress, what feels natural to you, what feels performative, the parts of yourself you love seeing photographed, the things you are apprehensive about, and what you hope to recognize when you see the finished work. Some clients want softness and romance. Others want fashion, strength, sensuality, simplicity, movement, drama, or something documentary.
You are not placed into my idea of you; I design the portraits around my understanding of you.

3. CREATIVE DIRECTION
Wardrobe, Setting, Mood, Beauty & Visual Direction
Lingerie is an option, not an admission requirement.
A beautiful boudoir wardrobe might include a silk slip, cashmere sweater, white shirt, favorite dress, bodysuit, veil, tailored jacket, heirloom jewelry, bare shoulders, beautifully draped fabric, or something already hanging in your closet.
We are styling you, not costuming you as “a boudoir client.”
