TRADITIONAL BOUDOIR NOT really YOUR VIBE?
you’ve come to the right place.
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.
