cedar + moss boudoir sessions

You must be 18 years or older. 

Bring as many outfits as you would like if you are doing a full session, just know that we most likely will not get through all of them. Think long socks, oversized sweaters with underwear. We prefer bare feet over high heels. The simpler the outfit the better. Implied boudoir is timeless.

We will not copy Pinterest photos, but if you love something we can do our take on it.

If you want the little black book: the default book for this price is 20 pages. The ordering will take 2-3 weeks for printing and shipping. 

FAQs

  • Girl, YES. I was nervous too before my first boudoir shoot, and I do this for a living! It’s totally normal to feel nervous or even a little awkward before your session. But trust me, the nerves will melt away once you start. You will have SO much fun!

    During the shoot, we’ll create a relaxed, fun atmosphere with your favorite music, a little champagne, and lots of laughs. You’ll be amazed at how much more confident and empowered you feel as the session goes on.

  • What you wear is entirely up to you and what makes you feel confident! Many people choose lingerie, but you can wear anything from a favorite dress, a button-down shirt, or even just a simple cozy sweater. The key is to choose outfits that you feel great in and that enhance your confidence.

    Choosing the right outfit for your boudoir shoot can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are some easy tips to help you decide:

    • Highlight your best asset: What part of your body do you love most? Pick an outfit that showcases it.

    • Be true to your style: Boudoir doesn’t always mean lace lingerie—if that’s not you, don’t stress! You can opt for sporty, edgy, or even something more relaxed that makes you feel confident.

    • Add a personal touch: Bring something special, like his favorite shirt, a sentimental piece of jewelry, or something else that has meaning.

    • You can't go wrong with black lace: Feeling stuck? Start here, it always looks stunning!

    • Accessorize: Shoes, jewelry, and your favorite lipstick can elevate your look and help you feel amazing.

    Need inspiration? I’ve got plenty of suggestions! For budget-friendly finds, check out Victoria’s Secret clearance sales, WeAreHah lingerie, or Shein (which has some great affordable pieces). For something a little more edgy, check out Thistle & Spire or Honey Birdette.

  • Boudoir photos are often given as intimate gifts, such as for a partner’s birthday or wedding gift. Many people also use their boudoir images for personal empowerment or as part of a self-love journey. You can have your photos printed in albums, framed, or even made into a calendar.

  • No! Not unless you say it’s ok!

    I respect your privacy. Any photos shared on my blog or social media are done with written permission from the client. If you’d prefer to keep your images private, just let me know. It’s completely up to you whether your images are shared!

  • YES YES YES!

    Every body is beautiful, and my mission is to help you see that! I have worked with a wide range of clients of various ages, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. While I can’t always share every client’s photos due to privacy preferences, I promise that I’ll work with you to create images that flatter you and showcase your personality. No matter your age or body type, you are more than welcome in front of my camera.

  • You need to bring your own outfits and accessories.

    I do provide the sheets if you’d like to try a "white sheets" look, but the rest is up to you. Choose outfits that complement your body shape, personality, and skin tone. After booking, I’ll send you an email with outfit ideas, suggestions, and shopping recommendations.

  • Professional hair and makeup are included.

    Having a professional stylist is a game-changer for your final photos. Whether you want a natural glow or a more glam look, the makeup artists I work with will create a style that suits you perfectly. They’ll consult with you before your shoot to make sure you're happy with the look. Just come with clean, dry hair, and we'll take care of the rest!

    We offer full in-studio hair and makeup artistry for our Personal and Luxury Boudoir sessions. It’s an add-on for our Lite Boudoir sessions. If you choose to have your hair and makeup done in the studio, here’s how it works:

    • Hair: Please come with your hair washed and dried the night before the shoot. We want your hair to be clean but still have some texture, so it’s perfect for styling.

    • Face: Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and no makeup. This gives our artist a fresh, blank canvas to work with.

    We all work as a collaborative team in the studio, so if you have any specific requests or preferences, feel free to speak up! We want you to look like you, only with a little extra glam.

  • At my studio in New Lenox, IL.

    All boudoir sessions are by appointment only. My studio is located at 120 Batson Ct., Suite 101, New Lenox, IL. Please make sure to book in advance, as I don’t accommodate walk-ins.

  • Tanning is a personal choice, and the decision is yours to make. If you’re opting for a spray tan, make sure it’s a quality one. Nobody wants an orange-y look in their photos, so it's important to find a product that matches your natural skin tone. If you’re tanning in a bed or out in the sun, just keep in mind the risk of tan lines, especially if you're wearing lingerie or something strapless. A little advice? If you’re not sure, go for a more subtle tan—most of the time, a natural glow works beautifully in photos.

  • Absolutely! I embrace all shapes and sizes, because every body is beautiful. Boudoir is all about celebrating YOU—no matter what size, shape, or age you are. If you're unsure or feeling a little nervous, don't worry! I will be there every step of the way to make you feel like the goddess you are.

  • We offer a wide variety of high-end printed products to showcase your beautiful portraits. Here are a few options:

    • Little Black Book: A small, discreet album filled with your stunning portraits. It’s perfect for personal enjoyment and easy to store away when not in use.

    • Wall Art: More and more women are opting for intimate wall art in their bedrooms or closets. It’s private but incredibly personal.

    • Albums: Choose from premium leather, fabric, acrylic, or satin photo covers for a timeless heirloom piece.

    All of our printed products come beautifully packaged in a gift box or satchel, making them perfect for gifting or for yourself.

  • It’s okay to feel unsure about how to pose or how to look “sexy.” The truth is, sexiness is not about what’s on the outside, it’s about how you carry yourself. Your unique energy—the way you move, your smile, your presence—is what makes you beautiful and magnetic.

    But don’t worry about the posing part! I will guide you step-by-step, giving easy-to-follow instructions. I’m extremely detail-oriented, and I’ll coach you on everything from your facial expression to finger placement, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. If I can do it, so can you!

  • I believe in celebrating your natural beauty as it is. I won’t "Photoshop" or alter your body in any way. What I will do is enhance your photos by removing any temporary imperfections, like blemishes or stray hairs.

    The goal is to capture the real you, but also highlight your best features in the most flattering way possible. If you want a little extra retouching or editing (like softening skin tones), we can discuss it during your session. But rest assured, I will always stay true to who you are!
