Boudoir is so much more than putting on pretty lingerie and taking pictures.
This is about giving a middle finger to the “perfection” we see on social media. This is about being real and comfortable in your own skin. This is about celebrating how you are uniquely different. This is about letting go of every negative thing you’ve ever believed about your body.
I’ll be honest—I still have to remind myself that my body is worthy, too. After pregnancy, my body changed in ways I wasn’t expecting, and it really threw me off. I was hard on myself, especially when my partner at the time made hurtful comments about my size.
During that time, I absorbed a lot of negative messages about my body while also navigating my new identity as a mom. And even now, I’m still on my own journey to self-confidence.
No matter your size or shape, I’ll pose you in a way that highlights your best features. You deserve photos that make you feel like you can conquer the world, and I want to be the photographer who helps you see just how incredible you are.

When I got my pictures back I cried again because I could not believe that person was me. Picking pictures was so easy, and even though she doesn’t pressure you into getting the wall art, DO IT! Everyday I walk past my picture I stop look at it while in my mom gear - no makeup, messy bun - and I am amazed everyday! It helps me everyday, no joke. Stephanie is absolutely amazing at what she does - you will be changed for the better when you walk out!

When I was reviewing my photos I was holding back tears. I turned to Stephanie and began to ugly cry. Its so hard to look at yourself and not judge or pick yourself apart. I do this on a weekly basis. I’m not thin, I have rolls where I don’t want them and I know I want to make improvements with my body. Of course there were some photos I didn’t feel I looked good in but the ugly cry was a direct result from disbelief that I had so many more photos that I was obsessed with and was stunned with the fact that those amazing photos were pictures of me.

I felt liberated, (who is that? Is that me? That girl who looks confident with hardly any clothes on is me?) I saw myself in a light that I had accomplished something that had originally made me feel super nervous. I was proud of myself for just looking and being myself. In today’s world someone always wants you to be something other or more than yourself. Stephanie brings out you at your most vulnerable but also at your most beautiful. I literally can’t wait until I can do this again!

I knew from the first set of photos that I would be going back to Steph for more and more sessions. She is one of the most amazing people I could hope to meet, and she is so compassionate and understanding of any concerns you may have. What a coach! What a woman! If anyone is on the fence about booking a session, stop. Book it now!
THE STUDIO
The boudoir studio is my happy place—a true reflection of what I love. Every piece in the space is handpicked, from the high-end furniture and huge 7-foot mirror to the plush bed coverings, throw pillows, and even Clawdia, my clawfoot tub! These details create a cozy, intimate vibe, while my cement floors and original furniture add a unique touch that makes the space feel extra special. With so many different pieces and textures to work with, there are unlimited photo possibilities to make each session feel one-of-a-kind. It’s all about blending luxe comfort with a mix of old-school charm and modern flair, and every session feels personalized and completely in tune with the woman in front of the camera.
NATURAL LIGHT
Oh, my favorite part of the studio has to be the natural sunlight! I always schedule boudoir sessions for the brightest part of the day, when the lighting is just perfect. It creates this gorgeous glow that makes your skin look amazing, your eyes pop, and your hair shine. And while I definitely edit the photos to give them that extra polish, that natural light really sets the stage for everything to look flawless from the start.
CLIENT CLOSET
Simple is sexy. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to feel beautiful and confident in your own skin. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a cute matching lingerie set or a stunning, elegant bodysuit—those little details can make all the difference. I'm also really proud of my client closet, which is stocked with a variety of lingerie pieces in sizes XS-5X, all available to you complimentary. When you book your session, you’ll also get access to an incredible prep guide that’s been years in the making—8 years, to be exact! I’ve refined it over time to answer all your wardrobe questions and help take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on feeling amazing and looking even better.
How does your pricing work?
My pricing is split into two parts: the session fee and the cost of your products. The session fee covers my time to prep, shoot, and get everything ready for your ordering session.
The great thing is, you don’t have to wait to see your photos! Your ordering session happens immediately after your boudoir session, so you’ll be able to view your images and select the products that feel right for you, right on the spot.
While this is an investment, it’s one that reflects my 8 years of experience in perfecting the boudoir experience, ensuring every detail—from the session to the final products and images—exceeds your expectations.
I want to schedule my session! How do I do that?
I require a complimentary phone consultation before booking your session, so we’re all on the same page about the details and specifics. You can easily schedule your consultation by clicking here. Once we’ve had our call, you can email me at info@stephaniemarie.com, and I’ll send over an invoice for your non-refundable retainer (which covers your session fee) along with your contract. I accept credit cards and online payments, so it’s quick and easy. That’s all you’ll need to pay to officially book your session!
What about hair and makeup?
There’s a separate fee for hair and makeup services. Once you book your session, I’ll provide referrals to my trusted hairstylists and makeup artists. If you choose, I can quickly reach out and coordinate with them to book your services. These professionals are experts in everything from a natural “no makeup” look to full-on glam, and trust me, it’s totally worth the investment. You’ll feel like you’ve been pampered and ready to shine. Ultimately, the decision of who to hire is entirely up to you.
Where should I look for lingerie and other wardrobe pieces? Do you provide this?
I offer a wide selection of lingerie sets (sizes XS-5X) in the studio for you to use, complimentary. Once your session is booked, I’ll send you suggestions on where to find beautiful outfits. However, my client closet is fully stocked, so you can show up with nothing, and I’ll style you from head to toe!
I’m nervous about how I look, will you help me with posing?
I’ve got you! You don’t need to worry about having a “sexy face” or anything like that. Posing is my job, and I’ll guide you every step of the way—down to your fingertips. Many women leave saying they weren’t nervous at all because I directed them the whole time. If you feel awkward or like you don’t have any photos you actually like of yourself, that’s another reason to do a session! Trust me, by the end of it, you’ll feel confident and amazed at how beautiful you look. You’ll do AMAZING!
Will you post my images?
As part of my contract, there’s a section that asks for your consent to share or use your images. I take your privacy very seriously, so depending on how you answer that portion, I will respect your wishes and only share your images if you’re completely comfortable with it. Your privacy is always a priority.
Do you shoot nudes or topless photos?
Absolutely! If that’s something you’re interested in, I’m more than happy to accommodate. I always suggest discussing it during your session so I can get a feel for your comfort level, as I’m very sensitive to what feels right for you. Your comfort and confidence are my top priority!
Are you willing to travel for a shoot?
I’m more than happy to travel to your desired location for a session. Just let me know where, and we’ll make it happen!
I’m nervous about how I look, will you help me with posing?
I’VE GOT YOU COVERED! I don’t want you to worry about a thing– I will will be there to guide and cheer you on throughout your entire session. Trust me, you will do absolutely AMAZING!
Are Hair and Makeup Included?
This is an additional fee – I give referrals to hair stylists and a makeup artist I trust once you book your session.
Ultimately it’s up to you to decide who to hire.
Where should I look for Lingerie and other Wardrobe Pieces? Do you Provide this?
I do have a small selection of lingerie sets in the studio for you to use if you’d like! Once your session is booked, I will send you information on where to look for beautiful outfits!
