Billie R. | Studio Session || Iowa City Boudoir Photographer

I’ve had the pleasure of doing two boudoir photoshoots with Stephanie, and I’ll tell you why I went back for a second session: it was my birthday, and the experience was an absolute blast! Though I felt a bit nervous at first, by the time it was my turn to shine, I was more than ready.

My first session was a gift for my partner, but the second was for me—an opportunity to reconnect with my own sense of beauty and sensuality. A boudoir session is more than just taking photos; it’s about capturing your confidence and embracing your happiness. Have you ever imagined what it would feel like to be a star? That’s exactly how I felt during my session—like a star preparing to step onto the red carpet or take the stage. In just a few hours, I went from feeling unsure to feeling like a total superstar.

From hair and makeup to Stephanie guiding me through every outfit change and pose, the entire experience is nothing short of enjoyable. I always look forward to the time spent with the wonderful team and fellow clients. A special thank you to the incredible hair and makeup artists for making me feel like a true diva. With Stephanie’s guidance, I always feel confident and at ease, no matter how new or unfamiliar the experience may be.

One of my favorite parts of the shoot was wearing outfits I never would have considered before. It opened up a whole new world of self-expression, and I’m thrilled with the outcome. For my first session, I used the clawfoot tub, and for the second, the mirror was my prop of choice—both were unforgettable! But I must admit, I’m already eyeing the swinging bed for my next session!

Stephanie is the ultimate guide, coach, and cheerleader. From the very first moment, she makes you feel completely comfortable, and her presence throughout the session is incredibly reassuring. Both of my experiences have been nothing short of fun and empowering, and I’m already looking forward to my third!
