I believe
Boudoir sessions
in documenting a woman's beauty at any stage in life
Inspired by Botticelli's Three Graces,
the idea of intimate portrait sessions was born. My goal is to capture the beauty of the female form in it's entirety, whatever stage of life you are in. Taking cues from the Three Graces (pictured at left), my vision for these portraits are for them to bring the inner beauty to the surface using light and airy fabrics, luxurious jewelry, and plentiful white/ natural light.
Though the idea of taking photos like this might begin as a gift for a significant other, my hope is that ultimately it will be a gift first for you. I want these pictures to remind you that there is beauty in the every day ins and outs of who you are, both now and for years and generations to come. I believe there is unique beauty in whatever season of life you are in.

your questions, answered
Where do intimate portrait sessions take place?
I have an all-white, feminine studio located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. I selected my studio because of its white walls, floors, and plentiful natural light. It is fully equipped with coffee (or champagne!) for you when you arrive, and I promise it will inspire you as much as it inspires me!
Are These Sessions only for people interested in boudoir-type photos?
No!! I feel very strongly about this- these sessions are for any woman at ANY stage in life: old, young, married, single, pre-wedding, or pre-baby. These sessions are also ideal for a dreamy kind of maternity portrait, embracing the beauty of a woman's body and all it does throughout the process of pregnancy.
What do I wear?
At our initial meeting to plan your session, we will narrow down your exact style and vision for the shoot. I will make suggestions of things you can acquire to help achieve that look, and you'll also have access to my ever-growing curated wardrobe to select items for your session. However, I find that you really don't need to obsess over having the perfect pieces; they're really just there to showcase YOU! So you'd be surprised how much we can utilize your current staples (but that doesn't mean you can't buy a fancy new piece to flaunt too!).
Do You offer Albums?
Yes! You'll have the option to add on an heirloom-quality luxury photo album of photos from your session.
