What is Boudoir?
Boudoir is an intimate portrait photography experience created for women of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Sessions are guided from start to finish, with an emphasis on comfort, consent, and feeling supported. Every woman walks away with more than images — they leave with renewed confidence and self-trust. Allow me to capture the masterpiece that you already are.

STEP ONE
Inquire
Start here! Fill out my inquiry information and set up a consultation call with yours truly. Let's talk dates, payments and payment plans, product packages, and vibes. Once everything is locked into place, we can get your onboarding process started.
STEP TWO
Your Session
 
The day of your session starts with relaxing while you're pampered with professional hair and makeup, sipping on a mimosa, and listening to some of your favorite music. Then after a couple deep breaths, we start your session. Sessions can go anywhere from 60 minutes to a few hours. Everyone is different and we don't put big time constraints on your experience
STEP THREE

After your session you get to see your images within a couple of days. If you chose a product package add-on, you see a full gallery of images to choose your favorites from. Once images are done, I will order any physical products you have purchased through me.
Photography is Poetry

Shelby with Wildflower
 
Wildflower Boudoir was born from my own journey—years of feeling like an outcast, never seeing myself as beautiful or worthy of confidence. I decided it was time to change that, not just for me but for everyone who has ever felt the same. Here, every body is a boudoir body. Every so-called flaw is a mark of beauty. This is more than photography—it’s about reclaiming your power. You are art. You are worthy. You are breathtaking—just as you are.
Say yes to you
 
i dare you.
 
Frequently Stated
"I can't afford a boudoir Session"
Let’s talk about it — gently, honestly, and without shame.
I know this experience can feel like a big investment. It’s not just a session — it’s a celebration, a reclamation, a transformation. And things like that? They’re worth doing well.
But here’s the truth: I never want money to be the thing standing between you and this experience.
That’s why I offer flexible payment plans, accept credit cards, and partner with third-party financing options like Affirm. We can break it up, stretch it out, and build something that works for you.
Because I believe — deeply — that every woman deserves this kind of moment. You are allowed to want something special for yourself, even if you're used to waiting. Even if you've never put yourself first before.
You don’t have to “get it all together” to be worthy of this.
You don't have to be ready.
You just have to say yes to yourself.
Let’s build a plan that gets you there.
"I will book a session after I lose weight"
You don’t need to change your body to be worthy of this experience.
Really. Read that again.
We’ve been conditioned to believe we have to shrink ourselves — literally and metaphorically — before we deserve to be celebrated. But here’s what I know from photographing women of all sizes, shapes, ages, and abilities: confidence doesn’t come from reaching a goal weight. It comes from choosing to see yourself as already enough.
Your body tells a story. Every curve, every scar, every dimple — it’s all part of a life lived. And none of it disqualifies you from taking up space, being seen, or feeling sexy as hell.
Will you feel nervous? Probably. Vulnerability tends to walk hand-in-hand with transformation. But I’ve got you. I’ll guide you through every pose, cheer you on when doubt creeps in, and remind you that you do not need permission from a scale to take up space in your own damn life.
So no, you don’t have to wait.
You don’t have to change.
You’re already enough — exactly as you are.
Let’s celebrate her.
"I a not confident enough to do this yet"
Here’s the truth: most women don’t walk into the studio feeling confident.
They walk in nervous, excited, curious, and often, deeply unsure.
Confidence isn’t a prerequisite here — it’s often the result.
You don’t need to have it all together. You don’t need to know how to pose, or feel sexy, or even feel ready. You just need to show up — and let yourself be seen.
I’ve created Wildflower Boudoir to be a space where your walls can come down. Where it’s safe to show up as your full self — messy, radiant, real. You’ll get guidance every step of the way, from wardrobe to posing to simply breathing through the nerves. We’re not here to perform; we’re here to reconnect.
This isn’t about faking confidence.
It’s about learning to trust yourself — and maybe seeing yourself differently for the first time in a long time.
You’re not “too much” or “not enough.” You’re right on time.
And you’re allowed to do brave things while still feeling scared.
"I am too old for that now"
Nope. Not even close.
There is no age limit on self-expression, sensuality, or feeling beautiful in your own skin.
I’ve photographed women in their 20s, and women in their 60s — and let me tell you, age has nothing to do with how powerful you can feel in front of the camera.
Boudoir isn’t about being young.
It’s about being you. Fully. Right now.
With the stories your body holds, the wisdom in your eyes, and the resilience you’ve earned.
You’re not too old. You’re experienced.
You know who you are. You’ve survived things. You’ve loved, lost, grown, and rebuilt.
And all of that? It shows up in the most beautiful way on camera.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered if your time has passed, I promise you — it hasn’t.
You don’t have to “look like you used to.”
You just have to show up as you are.
And that woman? She’s absolutely worth celebrating.
