Helping You Fall in Love With Yourself, One Boudoir Photo at a Time
Let’s be honest—society has *way* too much to say about how we should feel about our bodies. From magazine covers to the latest social media “must-have” look, it’s like the world is determined to remind us of every tiny insecurity we never even knew we had. But you know what? I’m not here for that noise. In fact, I became a boudoir photographer because I’m here to help you throw a big, bold middle finger to those expectations and fall madly in love with *you*.
Yeah, I said it: fall in love with yourself. Not in a “let’s change everything to meet someone else’s standards” kind of way, but in a “wow, I am already a total masterpiece” way. Because guess what? You are.
The REAL reason why I became a Boudoir Photographer...
Hiya, I'm Amanda!
When I started out, I wasn’t entirely sure where this journey would take me, but I knew one thing for certain—I wanted to empower people to see themselves the way I saw them: powerful, beautiful, and unapologetically themselves. Boudoir photography is not just about capturing someone in gorgeous lingerie or the perfect pose (although, trust me, we get *those* too). It’s about freezing that moment in time when someone realizes they are *enough* exactly as they are.
And let me tell you, there’s no greater feeling than watching someone walk out of a session with that post-photo glow, head held high like they just walked off a red carpet. Because here’s the secret: boudoir isn’t really about the photos (although, let’s be real, they’re stunning); it’s about the transformation that happens inside. It’s a loud, unapologetic declaration that you’re done with society’s ever-changing, impossible-to-please standards. You’ve got your own vibe going on, and it’s amazing.
Laughing Through the Lens
I get it—getting half-naked in front of a camera can feel like a one-way ticket to Awkwardville. But here’s the thing: my sessions are all about making you feel like the absolute goddess you are, *and* having a little fun along the way. We laugh, we dance (yes, even in those sky-high heels), and we create moments that feel as empowering as they do silly. Because why shouldn’t you feel like Beyoncé one second and crack up the next? Life’s too short to take ourselves that seriously.
Plus, when we can poke fun at the ridiculous standards society throws our way, we start to take back the power. You want to eat that extra piece of pizza? Do it. Need to rock that lingerie *and* binge-watch Netflix in it later? I fully support that energy. Your body isn’t a problem to be solved—it’s a freaking work of art, and it deserves to be celebrated.
THE STUDIO
We believe in the power of creativity and self-expression. Our unique studio is a place where women can come to explore, create, and foster their individual beauty. Our 15-foot ceilings, antique boudoir furniture, and beautifully decorated space provide an atmosphere that is both inspiring and inviting. We are always evolving and exploring new ways to empower women and bring out their natural beauty. We invite you to come and experience the magic of AY ARTISTRY & DESIGN!
Reject the Pressure, Embrace the Magic
I didn’t choose boudoir photography just to take beautiful pictures (although, trust me, I love that part too). I chose it because I want to help people see what’s been there all along: their own magic. The kind of magic that doesn’t need validation from anyone else, that doesn’t shrink to fit into society’s expectations, and definitely doesn’t apologize for taking up space.
So, if you’re ready to give the finger to everything that tells you you’re not enough, then you’re my kind of person. Boudoir is my way of helping you fall in love with yourself—the *real* you. The you that’s raw, radiant, and completely worthy of celebration just as you are.
Because trust me, once you see yourself through my lens, you’ll never look at yourself the same way again.
And the best part? You won’t want to.
Let’s make some magic.
