What to Expect of your Experience!
We'll chat on the phone about what you are looking for, we'll talk about your why and then if you're ready, we will get you booked and set a date for your session on our calendar.
We send every client a pre-session questionnaire to fill out. In this special document, we instruct you to take your time and answer the prompts to give us a greater scope into what you want to achieve and capture in your session. This is your moment to be vulnerable and honest as we plan to hit all those emotion points for you on your session day.
When you come in for your session, we get you settled into the hair and makeup chair! We always suggest having some examples or an idea what what your hair and makeup goal is and our amazing artists bring it to life!
Hair and makeup typically takes about 1- 1.5 hours depending on your desired look and style.
You're all glammed up and it's finally session time! While you were in the hair and makeup chair, we decided on 4 solid outfits to capture on our sets. We will usually shoot for about 1.5-2 hours and you will be guided through every pose and set change from head to toe!
This is where we really hone in on capturing those emotion points during your session!
Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session, we set an appointment for you to come back into the studio or schedule via zoom to review your final images for the first time. This appointment is also based as your ordering appointment as you will also be hand picking your favorite images and you will select your choice of our investment collections which includes your selection of album, artwork and any extras.
You did it! We hope your experience was an awesome one and seeing your beauty displayed in ways you've never seen has been an amazing experience for you.
We will typically offer some take home gift/tools to continue on your path of healing, growth and reconnection if you are interested.
We are so honored to get to be apart of your experience and will hopefully get to keep connecting with you in the future to come.

Beautiful Boudoir Looks - Before & Afters
"Your hair and makeup services is a big part of your experience!"

Mrs D
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.
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!

Mama K
Mama K broke out of her comfort zone in trying a boudoir session. She had always thought it was an exciting concept and loved the old glamour shots back in the day. We picked poses, outfits and props that were comfortable for her and the day was a success!
Miss J
Miss j captured her boudoir session as a surprise gift to her soon to be husband. Unfortunately he ended up finding out before hand so it wasn't as much of a surprise anymore BUT it made him even more excited and he helped amp her up as he was super excited for her as well!
Before & Afters
The experience of "Sacred beauty Portraits" is intended to bring you:
An emotional story of self-acceptance, strength, and love for who you are.
Appreciation and embrace for your body and all it's beauty!
Acknowledgment that we captured the natural and genuine beauty that already exists within you.
An experience that leaves you feeling uplifted, seen, celebrated and more connected to your sacred worth.
I am a portrait photographer that specializes in empowerment of women by creating self-inspiring and healing experience through photography.
Everyone deserves to to have a better relationship with themselves and feel a sense of wholeness and beauty!
I am a small business owner but I am also a mom, a wife and a friend to many. I am also a women of very strong faith and I love using my God given gifts to serve so many amazing women and help better their lives.
I have many years of past struggles where I too wrestled with self esteem issues, guilt, lack of faith and even the after effects of abuse. No one should live a single day in this world without knowing how truly loved they are and without allowing their beautiful soul to shine!
Through God's grace and guidance, I have discovered that my purpose in life is to lead others, lift up and even help heal other women who are stuck in struggles like I once was too! I now work to empower and inspire woman just like you and I through teachings and amazing experiences by way of photography.

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!
-Miss C
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!
- Miss R
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!
-Mrs D
So amazing!
I have never felt more comfortable getting photos done.
I have also never felt so sexy when I finally got to see the end result.
❤- Miss J
This was incredibly fun to do. Not only does she take wonderful pictures, she made me feel like a million bucks. I got my hair and makeup all done up. Along with a glass of champagne and some good music, away we went posing in all different positions. I was so excited after a sneak peak that I can’t wait to see the other photos as she gets them finished
This was a wonderful experience
-Mama K
"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!"

FAQS
Im really want to book but am a bit nervous
It's okay to feel nervous! These sessions are meant to be intimate and private and that can be scary. I am there with you every step of the way and I use my vulnerability super power the best I can to get down on your level to make sure you are comfortable, calm and enjoying your time in the studio!
We will never do anything you are not comfortable with and our goal is to create an experience that is healing, inspiring and fun! I promise we will share lots of giggles and laughter as we move through your session together.
I have no idea how to pose my body! Will you help?
Yes! We absolutely guide you every step of the way. I always instruct all my clients to just be themselves and be relaxed. We don't do cheesy forced facial features or any weird forced movements (haha). I will walk you through every pose and how to move your body. Our job is to make your job easy during your session!
Do you do my hair and makeup for the session?
Absolutely! We work with many amazing artists and they are a big part of bringing your session to life for you! Your hair and makeup will be done for you right here on location on the day of your session. We leave your final look up to you. Your hair and makeup services typically take anywhere from 1-1.5 hours depending on your choice of look and style.
Is boudoir really about sexualizing the body? I just dont know how i feel about it.
Some photographers will say Yes and some will tell you No. To be honest, it depends on the intent and style of which a session is captured.
Here in my studio, my intent is capturing wholesome styled boudoir! The intent is to capture elegance, class, beauty, grace and to create a healing experience. Is it okay for you to feel sexy in your skin and feel that your images are sexy in general? Absolutely! The purpose of this session is for it to be intimate and personal. One of our goals is for it to help you feel reconnected to yourself, your body and your heart.
Our style in our studio is not to sexualize a woman's body, but to reveal the genuine beauty that is already there. As you know in this life, anything can be done wrong or for the wrong reasons but thankfully in our studio, you don't have to worry about that!
"wholesome boudoir is a love letter to the woman you are and the journey you've walked."
"True beauty shines when you feel safe, seen and celebrated"
