What if your boudoir session felt less like a copy-paste experience, and more like a way for you to capture all the things that make you…..well, you.

You are not one-dimensional – and your session should reflect that.  We’ll capture the  demure to rowdy & everything in between.  These sessions are passionately & collaboratively crafted for you  to unapologetically make your mark.

I am here to support & guide you as re-connect with your body & celebrate your confidence.

You don’t have to change a thing about yourself to deserve this.

Hey, I’m Melissa

Film & digital photographer specializing in fine art boudoir, brands, & family portraiture in Maryland & the greater Washington DC AREA

Having been in front of the camera myself, I understand how vulnerable and confronting boudoir sessions can be & I take my role as your photographer very seriously. 

My boudoir sessions are very laid-back & playful, with a focus on textures, movement & authentic moments.  

While your session is ultimately a collaboration between us, I will be leading you through the entire experience so you feel empowered & and confident.

"My experience with Melissa was nothing short of amazing. This woman is transforming boudoir photography in an authentic way. And WE LOVE THAT FOR US! Thanks for being a bombshell in making more women comfortable with who they are on and off camera"

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my boudoir, maternity, or newborn session? 

I generally book 6-8 weeks out, though sometimes I have some last minute openings. For maternity sessions, I recommend having your session between 28-32 weeks.  Reach out here to inquire! 

Why should I choose you instead of another boudoir photographer? 

There are tons of amazing artists to choose from so it ultimately comes down to your style and preferences.  If you love a more moody & fine art vibe, plus you love the nostalgia of film photography, then we will have an awesome time together! 

How much should I budget for my boudoir session? 

$395 is due upon booking.  Products are in addition to the session fee and begin at $700.  I offer a variety of products, including framed wall art, albums, and digital images. Just want digitals?  All collections come with your full digital gallery and begin at $900. 

ready to book your own boudoir session?

I only book a few sessions a month so my calendar fills up fast! Make sure to get in touch today to get availability for your boudoir, maternity, or newborn session.  Not in the DC area? I travel!  Get in touch to find out how we can work together.
