BE BEAUTIFUL. BE BOLD. BE YOU.
Let us show you a behind-the-scenes look at what a
session actually feels and looks like in my studio.
You are worth celebrating every day!
The studio was built for women who want to feel safe, seen, and supported. We work hard to create an environment that feels warm, private and safe. Never hurried. Never exposed.
A SESSION FOR HER:
"You're nervous but curious"
"You want a confidence reset"
"You prefer guided posing and gently direction"
"You want modest options"
WHAT'S NOT REQUIRED:
"You don't need to lose weight"
"You don't need to be photogenic"
"You don't need experience"
I had so much fun!!! She was amazing and made me feel super comfortable and confident! Her studio is gorgeous and comfortable. I would highly recommend and would definitely do another shoot with her!
Absolutely loved shooting with her! She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin and is so encouraging (and sooooo accommodating) 10/10 will be doing another shoot with her soon!
Kristina is amazing! She is very considerate and professional. She takes your personality and encourages you to make that shine through her photography. I love my pictures and love my experience even more!
"Kristina is amazing and makes you feel so pretty, confident and comfortable. I just love her." "I can't stop looking at all my images! I want to do another one and can't wait!"
We talk through your vison, comfort level, and what you want your photos to feel like.
I help you choose outfits that flatter and feel like you. Modest-to-bold, always your choice.
You're guided through every pose. I demonstrate anything and everything I need to. You never have to guess.
You view your images and choose your favorites. This is often the moment confidence clicks.
"Most women walk in nervous. Halfway through, they start to breathe. By the end, they stand taller. Not because they changed, but because they remembered the connection they'd been missing all along and they leave appreciating the amazing woman they truly are."

Did you know we have a full shoe closet and wardrobe that is free to use?!
and you get help planning your wardrobe every step of the way!
1) Do you share my photos?
I do LOVE getting to share session images because it helps women just like you see examples of my work and it helps you see the different ages, body types and styles I work with. However, I 100% respect all model releases I do with clients and ultimately it is your decision how you want your images handled and/or shared and that is always respected and upheld!
2) What can I wear if I want modest?
Wardrobe looks very different for every client. These images are about invoking emotions through body shapes and movement. You can take breath taking images in your favorite jeans or jacket. Maybe you have a favorite glamorous dress? We can also go with lingerie styled wear and use cover ups, robes or drapery to help conceal the body with an extra layer to make a more modest feel to your images. The options are endless and really, it depends on what you are looking to capture through your session!
3) How long does a session take?
I personally block out a 4 hour time frame for sessions on my calendar. I always share with clients that on average, hair and makeup services take about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours depending on how extensive of a look they are doing and hairstyle choice. After that part of the session is done, we move right into shooting and we capture together for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours total. I try my hardest to never have a client be here past 4 hours but a safe time frame would be to expect to be here between 3 and 4 hours.
4) Do you offer hair/makeup services?
Yes, like talked about a little in the previous question, hair and makeup services is a part of every session for every client at no additional cost. It is completely up to you on what you want your desired look to be for your session. We give the advice that clients shouldn't be afraid to go a little bolder for this type of session as all skin is softened and it will soften the makeup look just a little bit as well.
Our makeup artists are prepared to do a full glam and lashes for each boudoir client.
5) When do I see my photos?
Before you leave your session on your session day, we will schedule your Order/Reveal appointment where you will get to see your images for the first time and we help guide you through selection and investment choice. This date is usually about 3 weeks after your session date.
6) Where is your studio located?
For my boudoir clients, I work out of my home here in Holland, MI. My entire downstairs of my home is a residential studio. We also bring hair and makeup services right on site as well so everything you need is all right here, in studio.
Still have a question that you don't see listed here?!
Pop in a chat with Miss Lumiere - Our Boudoir Concierge and she can help answer any questions you have as well!
Miss D did amazing in studio for me! She actually volunteered for a marketing shoot for me so we spent a little extra time playing with sets and having fun together. She LOVED her experience and can't wait to come back and do it again!
Mrs. D was celebrating a major weight loss goal she hit and was so excited to connect with herself in this new body. She had so much fun and got even more bold as the session went on. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
"True beauty shines when you feel safe, seen and celebrated"

"Book a Complimentary Consult"
"wholesome boudoir is a love letter to the woman you are and the journey you've walked."
I am a professional portrait photographer and I specialize in empowerment experiences for women. I am a woman FOR WOMEN! Whether our time together is shared over boudoir portraits, styled headshots or even a beauty appointment, I hope we create a lasting connection and true self-growth in your life!
I am a woman rooted very deep in faith and I love when I get the chance to share that with others. God is good and He blesses my life every day with amazing connections. It is a big part of what fuels me to help better the lives of women and bring growth, healing and connection to them. God has given me such a blessing of a job and I love every day of it!
Another part of what fuels my passion and my "why" within my business is my own personal dark past. I have many years of struggles where I too wrestled with self esteem issues, guilt, lack of faith and even abuse. No one should live a single day in this world without knowing how truly loved they are. This harnessed trauma allows me to be truly vulnerable with my conversations and connections. I want every client to feel heard, feel safe and feel seen.
