My client came to me during a season of big transitions and deep body image healing. She wanted to mark her birthday in a way that felt both empowering and joyful — a reminder that self-celebration is never something you have to earn.
And because no birthday is complete without cake, she brought the most incredible one — which of course had to make an appearance in her portraits. Those photos turned into a gorgeous blend of fun, freedom, and unapologetic self-love.
This session was a reminder that boudoir doesn’t have to fit into one aesthetic. It’s not only about sultry poses or dramatic tones (though I love those too). It’s also about exploration — trying on a new side of yourself, capturing a moment of growth, and creating images that reflect your unique journey.
As a boudoir photographer in Nashville, I create sessions that are fully customized to you — whether that means bringing your favorite treats, wearing colors outside your comfort zone, or leaning into your signature style. Your session can be as playful, elegant, fierce, or tender as you want it to be.
Because at the end of the day, boudoir is about more than just photos. It’s about seeing yourself with fresh eyes, celebrating your growth, and walking away with a reminder that you are worthy of love and joy, exactly as you are.
