Celebrate You!
​
Embrace a Boudoir Photo Experience Created just for You!
​
Welcome! I encourage you to take a look around and explore the world of boudoir photography! See why it is so different from any other photography session you’ve ever had!
​
These photography experiences boost a woman’s confidence, showcase her natural beauty, and empower her – bringing out her essence and her sexy side. The result is beautiful images that become timeless keepsakes to enjoy for a lifetime!
​
Boudoir is a personal and intimate style of photography and should reflect your individual style and comfort level. I work with a lot of women ages 20-65+, and all different shapes and sizes.
​
My clients come from all different places on their journey; Single, engaged, married, moms, weight loss, younger, older, healing, celebrating. No matter the path you are on, I specialize in meeting you right where you are. I am obsessed with helping you create joy and purpose in the life you are living because frankly… YOU DESERVE IT.
​
You are unique and a wonderful being and we should document our beauty this way, so we can see yourself in a way no-one ever have. Whether you want to bring out your sexy side that’s gone missing or create a jaw-dropping gift for a special someone, we can plan a session that reflects the style you’re going for! Beauty is held within every woman. It’s my job to capture it for you.
​
A phone or in-person consultation is complimentary to discuss your vision, styling options, comfort level, and go over any concerns or questions you may have.
​
This experience is about being and feeling unapologetically Sexy and having fun while doing it.
I am not doing this for anyone but for You!
​
It is time to love & celebrate yourself and what makes You....You!
​
This Boudoir Experience Is Designed With That Exact Goal In Mind... for You to feel Amazing about Yourself!!!
​
Love your body, love yourself and be fearless.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank u to Riaan. He got the ball rolling for my shoot. I came to the shoot feeling super self conscious, and left feeling like a total body positive Queen!
He was 10000000% professional especially with my XXX photos. I felt super safe and comfortable with him and feelt like a superstar and definitely can't wait to shoot with him again.
Highly recommend!!

Please tell me about you and the things attracting you to boudoir photos
"When I tell you I had to look twice AND THEN THE TEARS STARTED TO ROLL"
" I even asked Riaan if it was really ME? You see for all these years my image of myself was controlled by someone else’s thoughts so much that it was hard for me to even recognize myself. I beg you first of all not to let someone steal your joy. Be the person you are made to be. I know that is so much easier said then done. And second of all… book a shoot with Riaan and allow him to show you your true beauty. I looked at this picture and saw an amazingly beautiful person-crazy to think this isn’t a model out of a magazine but actually ME. Now I will work on accepting that fact and not letting anyone steal my shine."

Your Self Love Empowering Experience Starts Now!
I am thrilled that you are thinking of booking a boudoir session with me! A boudoir session with me is amazing because you get to take home heirloom art that reminds you every day of how sexy you are! I want to create memories that you can look back at years from now and still remind you of this experience. At every shoot I aim to give you a good mix of tasteful & timeless with a few sexy & scandalous photos sprinkled in as well. If at the end of our day together, if you feel sexy, desirable and empowered then we have succeeded at my job.
​
Is it really for me?
• Make this session whatever you want it to be: playful, fun, erotic or more
• Include your partner for a fun couples shoot
• It's really fun (yes, we mean it. We'll play some fun tunes and drink some wine)

​
Where will the photos be taken?
• A Boudoir shoot can be done literally anywhere, in Nature, in a Hotel/ BnB, in your Kitchen, in your Bedroom

​​
What will happen during the shoot?
Hair, makeup, lashes, sexy lingerie, posing assistance, laughter, pampering…a day that is all about YOU!!!
That’s what I provide with a Boudoir shoot! I specialize in making you feel more confident in yourself…and even show you some of your images throughout the session so you can see how amazing you are doing.
​
We will start by laying out all of your outfits, narrow them down to the most flattering and chat about how you envision your boudoir session. If you added hair & makeup sit back and relax while you are pampered with professional makeup, false lashes and hairstyling. Don't worry about knowing how to pose or what to do, I will guide you the whole way through your session, from your head down to your toes. When all the fun is over, you will leave with the biggest confidence boost of your life. You are desirable! You are sexy! You are empowered!
​
Once you have booked I will help you prepare for your boudoir session. I will be sending you loads of info to plan for the session. This will prepare you and hopefully answer most of your questions, but if you have any, feel free to reach out to me.

​​
What kinds of Boudoir shoots are there?
There are many genres or types of photography, but most of my work focuses on the following genres: Glamour/Pin-Up, Traditional Boudoir, Fine Art Photography, Maternity Boudoir, Couples Boudoir and Fetish Boudoir.
In boudoir photography, the subject is photographed in sensual poses, usually in a home setting, such as a bedroom or living room, partially dressed, in lingerie or nude.
Maternity boudoir photography is a growing trend among mothers and couples to capture the intimate beauty of pregnancy. Like traditional
boudoir photography, maternal boudoir may feature the mother to be in lingerie and/or nude, conveying her femininity and emotional connection
to her child
A glamour photo shoot is designed to bring out a model’s alluring beauty, charm and sex appeal.
Glamour photos are typically
brightly colored, captured in bright lighting and enhance the natural beauty of the model in a range of outfits
Couples boudoir photography provides an opportunity to capture the love, attraction and sensuality that couples share. Couples boudoir can combine the three basic genres of boudoir described above, range from being fully clothed to nude, and can capture different levels of intimacy.
Fine art nude photography is a
genre of fine art photography
which depicts the nude human
body with an emphasis on form, composition, emotional content, and other aesthetic qualities.
Contemporary fetish photography is a genre of boudoir photography designed to create a more intense sexual impact. While retaining a high-quality artistic quality, contemporary erotica is typically more revealing
with more sexually suggestive poses and expressions.
How much Will this cost?
Your Boudoir Experience is designed for you, the whole you with no compromises. As a Boutique photographer, I take on only a limited number of clients each month allowing me to focus all my attention on a select few customers each month.
​
The cost of Boudoir photo experiences is customized to your requirements. I am here to help you through the whole experience so you can get exactly what you want. I provide a personalized experience and therefore require a free consultation before the shoot where I will provide lots of coaching and guidance before, during, and after the shoot. It's great to get to know everyone before the shoot and it's a great way to calm some nerves before your session! I take on a limited amount of shoots per month so that I can provide a personalized experience to you, deliver photos quicker and in high quality.
​
All my boudoir photo experiences include the following;
• Upfront pre-shoot Consultation in person or virtually to set expectations, schedule and plan the shoot
• Free Boudoir Experience Preparation Guide
• Wardrobe Consultation
• Booking of a location to shoot
• 1 to 2 Hour Makeup and Hair Makeover session with a hair and makeup artist who will get you ready for your
session and pamper you every step of the way. While you’re getting beautified, we will chat a little and get to know
the “why” behind your boudoir Experience
• 2 to 3 Hour Boudoir Experience
• Direction and posing to make sure you get the best photos
• Professional retouching and editing of all images
• Post Shoot Reveal and Order session

Some ​Boudoir Misconceptions
Boudoir is one of the most overthought and underappreciated forms of photography. Wrought with misconceptions.
- It's all about fancy lingerie
With boudoir photography having many broad definitions and examples it is easy to feel that way. But it certainly isn’t! Instead, it is all about you, the client, our subject, our muse for your boudoir experience.
While yes, lingerie can be incorporated into your session, it does not need to be “Fancy” or anything you wouldn’t normally wear (though trying something new is always encouraged!). With many of my clients they bring their favorite tried and true pieces or their partner's favorite button-down shirt. No need for fancy matching set’s unless you want them. some of my clients favorite images are a tee shirt and bikini bottoms.
Sexual attractiveness or sex appeal is an individual's ability to attract other people sexually, and is a factor in sexual selection or mate choice. The attraction can be to the physical or other qualities or traits of a person, or to such qualities in the context where they appear. The attraction may be to a person's aesthetics or movements or to their voice or smell, among other things. The attraction may be enhanced by a person's adornments, clothing, perfume or style. It can be influenced by individual genetic, psychological, or cultural factors, or to other, more amorphous qualities. Sexual attraction is also a response to another person that depends on a combination of the person possessing the traits and on the criteria of the person who is attracted. in short we all have sex appeal!
​
- It is just about getting naked.
Stop! No, uh-uh, nope! Boudoir is about showcasing you, clothed or unclothed! While many of my clients decide they do want fully nude images it certainly isn’t all of them, and that is totally good too!
Many clients prefer implied nudity (think nude, but under a sheet, or behind a sheer shirt or dress, or your form shaded with heavy shadows). My focus is to ensure you are 100% comfortable with your level of nudity and that you will be proud of your images for the rest of your life.
- I have to be skinny and fit to do boudoir.
You don’t have to look like a “model” to experience a luxury boudoir experience. Models are like athletes, its their career, they train for it, they diet for it, they exercise for it, it is their job every single day. But that’s not reality, and neither is a magazine cover. The vast majority of my clients are everyday women, moms, doctors, lawyers, cancer survivors, a divorcee, you name it. Some are Skinny some are curvy, some have scars and stretch marks and some don’t. All of them are 100% uniquely beautiful.
​
Empower Yourself
Nerves are normal but own whom you have become. Love your body, give yourself goosebumps, be confident in who you are and how far you've come in your life. You are going to look & feel amazing after your photoshoot! Confidence is the sexiest thing and so empowering!
​
Have a little fun and take a chance. You'll never be as young as you are today.
