There's never been a better reason to celebrate you
It's crazy to think that I'm practically a stranger and I'm asking you to trust me to let me show you how uniquely beautiful you are.
The images I create are meant to transport you away from the daily ritual of life and into a world of fantasy, connection and freedom of expression.
You are strong. You are powerful. This is the time to spoil yourself.
There is a reason you are on this page, you want to do this...
You've wanted to do this for a while, but you've held off and stopped yourself.
But there's never been a better time than now.
This isn't just a photo shoot, its an awakening!
Treat yo' self to a day of pampering
I've heard over and over again, "I'm awkward in photos." It's not about posing you to make you look like a perfect model. It's about making you so comfortable, that you snort when you laugh. That comfortable feeling is what directly translates into killer images. My number one goal is to make you feel comfortable, cheer you on and show you how beautiful you are.
My favorite thing about Boudoir is watching women transformation from feeling shy and unsure to bold and playful! I know exactly how to style, pose and light you to get the perfect shot every time. You'll walk away feeling confident and empowered!
When you work with me, you're gaining a friend, a confidant and an expert in posing and lighting. I've photographed over 100 women and couples, and I'm here to connect with you, help you feel comfortable and have fun.
An innate ability to make you feel COMFORTABLE and CHERISHED in front of the camera.

Damn, you are so amazing Chanelle, the experience was great and I want to cry at these pictures. You captured me in a way that didn't hide my body, but celebrates it. And makes me so happy to have these, its exactly what I wanted and so much better than I could have imagined.

OMG I am in love with the photos! I didn't think I'd like seeing myself but it was such a confidence booster! Can I just tell you doing a couples boudoir session was one of the best memories I will have with my husband, it was fun, confidence boosting, and the best part seeing how he looks at me when I don't look at myself like that. Thank you so much for capturing it all especially the way he looks at my body!!
- SARAH
I am looking at these pictures yet again ☺️ We are so in love with the pictures we already have and I can’t wait to see the rest of them. You did such an amazing job and really captured how much fun we were having together and with you.

Chanelle was great and made me feel so comfortable during my photo shoot. My photos came out great and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Chanelle!

What I love about Boudoir is seeing a woman transform during the session. I spent so much time hiding my body and over the last 2 years I've lost 110 pounds and I've been falling in love with my body at every size.
You can trust me to pose you because I've posed myself and many bodies, at varying sizes. I love different perspectives of our bodies because so often we forget that we are 3D. I capture you in a way that doesn't hide the shape of your body, but celebrates it.
I like to keep my photos natural but bold and dramatic. I will never alter your body. I only color correct, touch up and smooth your skin. My rule is if it's permanent it stays (like stretch marks) but if it's temporary it goes (like pimples). My goal is to show you how beautiful you are now, in this body, not give you photos of some idealized version of yourself.
I know how to make you feel comfortable and help you have tons of fun. I'm pretty laid back and like to joke and be sarcastic, so if that's your vibe get in touch.

5. TELL ME MORE ABOUT OUTDOOR, POOL OR BATH SESSIONS.
If you are down to try something a little different. There is something so magical about a pool session. I will work with you to choose colorful flowers that match your outfits. You'll need to rent a hotel or Airbnb with a tub or pool. The cost of flowers is in addition to the session fee. Outdoor sessions can be super dreamy and can take place in the forest or the beach. Lets get out there and do something different!
6. CAN WE PICK A DIFFERENT LOCATION?
Most couples want a more unique location and choose to book an Airbnb or hotel -- or I'll send you my list of unique studio spaces that are available to rent in So Cal.
7. HOW MANY WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION DATE?
I recommend booking 12 weeks before your wedding, in order to receive the Album BEFORE your wedding day.
Timeline for Album (12 weeks):
1 week for you to pick your favorites
2 weeks for me to edit
1 week to make your album
up to 2 weeks of draft edits

1. IT'S MY FIRST TIME AND I AM SO NERVOUS!
That's totally normal. I mean, how often do you pay a stranger to take pictures of you in your undies? I’m guessing this is probably a first for you, and you know what? It’s okay to be nervous. Just know that this is all about beauty and self confidence, I am here to make you look and feel amazing no matter your age or size. Those jitters won’t last more than ten minutes. I promise.
2. DO YOU PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL HAIR AND MAKEUP?
I offer packages with and without Hair and Makeup. You can choose to do your own, go to your personal artist, or add on my Glam Squad. **Brides please do not use this session to do your Wedding Makeup trial. Boudoir is all about confidence and if you are unhappy with your makeup, you will notice that in your photos.**
3. WILL MY IMAGES BE PRIVATE?
I will never share any images without your permission. Of course I love sharing and showing my work, so if you are down for that I will post the session on my blog and social media. Of course I will never post full nudes, those are just for you.
4. DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH COUPLES?
Heck yes! Couples Boudoir is something I have just started photographing. In general men wear boxer or jeans and women can be covered or fully nude. But I am comfortable regardless. Heck I've shot engagement session skinny dippers in the past, it takes a lot to make me blush!
