“I’d love to do a boudoir shoot. Maybe after I lose ten pounds.”

 

If that thought has crossed your mind, you’re welcome here exactly as you are.

 

Every client I’ve photographed has been a mother. Every one has brought a body that has lived—stretch marks, scars, changes, and a story of her own. Life has happened to you. You’ve cared for people. You’ve moved through things. You’re here today, and there is beauty worth capturing in this chapter.

 

One thing I believe deeply: sexy is about inhabiting the body that you have.

 

Maybe you want to capture your erotic essence. Maybe you want to awaken a side of yourself that’s been quiet while you were busy being a mother, a partner, and the person everyone depends on. Or maybe your partner keeps telling you how beautiful you are, and you’d like a chance to see what they see.

 

I’m honored that I get to be on the other side of that lens.

 

The First Hour Is About Settling In

When you arrive at our North Dallas home studio, we give you time to get comfortable. There’s music playing, conversation, and a chance to be cared for.

 

Professional hair and makeup are included. Lily works with you to create a look you choose—perhaps a little more glamorous than your everyday look, while still feeling like yourself.

 

When Chanel had her first boudoir session in 2017, it was also her first experience with professional hair and makeup. She hadn’t even had it done for our wedding. That time to sit down, be pampered, and see herself a little differently became a meaningful part of the experience.

 

While you’re getting ready, Chanel puts together outfit combinations from the pieces you’ve brought. We talk, get to know you, and let you settle in. That first hour to ninety minutes belongs to you.

 

We Choose Your Favorite Looks Together

Chanel will often have six to eight combinations ready for us to look through. Then we choose the ones you’re most excited about.

 

There isn’t a strict outfit limit. We usually aim for three to six looks, because changing clothes takes time, and we want you to have plenty of time enjoying the photography.

 

You don’t need to arrive knowing which pieces work together. We help with that. A favorite dress, an open shirt, lingerie, or something personal can each bring a different side of you into the photographs.

 

You Don’t Have to Know How to Pose

Before we begin, we talk through some basic posing guidance. I’ll help you with where to put your hands, how to shift your weight, and how small movements change the photograph.

 

We’ll also work through gentle stretching poses, guiding you into positions that feel comfortable for your body. Tell us if a movement doesn’t feel good, and we’ll adjust it or choose something else.

 

You’re never expected to figure it out on your own. There’s room to ask questions, laugh, pause, and try again.

 

We Start With Date-Night Portraits

We typically begin with dressed-up photographs—the kind that feel like getting ready for a wonderful date night. If you’ve come with your partner, we may start with a few photographs together.

 

From there, we explore the looks you’ve chosen. We use different areas of our living rooms and, if it fits your session, move into the bedroom.

 

Some clients want lingerie photographs. Some choose implied nudity, nude images, or more erotic expression. Others love their dressed-up portraits and want to stay there.

 

Every level is optional.

 

Chanel and I check in regularly. You can change your mind, skip a suggestion, take a break, or stop. We want your choices and boundaries to be clear throughout the experience.

 

Your Partner Is Welcome

Your partner can be there as a supportive witness, join a few photographs, or participate more fully in a couples session.

 

We’ll talk about that together beforehand. What are you hoping for? What would feel fun? What would help you feel comfortable?

 

Sometimes having your partner there offers another way to see yourself—to notice their expression when they look at you, or hear what they love about a photograph. And sometimes this is something you want to do entirely for yourself. Both are welcome.

 

Your photographs can also remain private. We only share images publicly with your written permission, and you can limit which images you authorize us to use.

 

Do You Need to Lose Those Ten Pounds First?

You get to decide when you’re ready. But if this is something you want, your current body is welcome in front of my camera.

 

I think of experiences like this as something that can belong on a bucket list. I jumped out of an airplane in 2025, and I loved it. I’m glad I gave myself that experience.

 

Your boudoir session can be a chance to say, “I’ve wanted to do this. Let’s have a great time.”

 

We often look back at photographs from ten years ago and appreciate something we couldn’t see at the time. I wonder what your future self might love about photographs of you today.

 

You don’t need to wait for a different body to celebrate this moment in your life.

 

The Experience Comes First

For Chanel and me, the first goal is that you have a wonderful time creating the photographs.

 

The digital images, albums, and wall art can become beautiful reminders of that experience. But there is no required image or product purchase. You’ll see your photographs before deciding what you’d like to buy.

 

The experience itself is $499 and includes professional hair and makeup. If and when you’re ready to purchase images, we’ll credit that $499 toward your image purchase. There’s no required image or product purchase, and we’ll explain all the pricing before you book.

 

My hope is that you’ll enjoy yourself, see something you love, and perhaps surprise yourself with those words I never get tired of hearing:

 

“Wow, that’s me.”

 

Let’s Talk and See if We’re a Good Fit

Look at our reviews. Explore our photographs. Then reach out—email me, text me, or fill out our consultation form. Let’s talk.

 

I’ve worked in sales before, but I don’t approach this conversation as a sales presentation. It’s a free consultation for us to get to know each other, hear what you’re imagining, answer your questions, and see whether we’re a good fit.

 

If we are, wonderful. If you decide another direction feels better for you, that’s wonderful too. There’s no pressure and no obligation to book.

 

Chanel and I want to be here to serve you in whatever way we can.
