What a Day at the Studio Feels Like
From nervous to ‘holy sh*t, that’s me’—all in one day.
Most women walk in a little nervous (totally normal). Within minutes, you’ll realize this isn’t a stuffy photoshoot—it’s a laid-back, judgment-free zone where you get pampered, laugh way too much, and maybe even forget you’re in lingerie.
Here’s What Your Session Looks Like:
Arrive + Relax
We’ll chat through outfits, music, vibe — and sip something warm to melt the nerves.
Hair + Makeup
You’ll get glammed by our pros — you, just leveled up (not unrecognizable).
Guided Shoot
Don’t know how to pose? Don’t worry — I’ll coach you head to toe, finger to expression.
Same-Day Reveal
Yep. You’ll see your photos right after the shoot. Most clients cry — in the best way.
Artwork Selection
Albums, wall art, digitals — whatever feels right. Yes, we offer payment plans.
By the time you leave, you’ll feel like you just had the ultimate girls’ day—except with photos that remind you every day how damn gorgeous you really are.

You Might Be Thinking…
“But what if I don’t like the photos?”
We do same-day reveals for a reason — you’ll see how amazing you look before you ever leave the studio. (plus I have never had a client in 10 years, not like their photos 🤗)
“It feels too expensive…”
Payment plans are available — and we’re currently gifting your $400 session fee.
“I don’t know if I’m ready…”
There’s never a perfect time. Just the moment you finally say, “I’m doing this for me.”

Real Women. Real Confidence. Real Transformations.
I love Kristen & Kim! They made me feel safe, comfortable & confident. They are receptive to feedback which is awesome, I mentioned I want Old Hollywood Glam for my photoshoot & I got that & more. I'm forever grateful they allowed me to honor my Mom who passed in 2023 in some of my photos. I encourage women as a form of self-care & self love to do a photoshoot as the experience is truly empowering.
I can’t speak highly enough about Kristen and her team! I was so nervous to step out of my comfort zone and they made me feel such at ease, it was like I had known them forever. Everything was perfect and beautifully done. So classy I have never felt so empowered before. Will definitely go back
My favorite day in my life in the last 5 years!! No joke! I am so happy to have met these ladies and to have them in my life! I feel like I have known them forever. I will soo be going back to them
Incredible experience all around. Kristen & Kimberly are amazing to work with - I fell in love with my own smile!
What an amazing experience! Hair, makeup, wardrobe, professional posing, and it was fun! Kristen made me so comfortable that I totally forgot how scared I was when I walked in that door. I highly recommend boudoir for anyone - it definitely gave me that boost in self confidence that I needed.
I had a phenomenal time with Kristen and Kimberly! I highly recommend these lovely ladies to anyone looking to get photos done! They definitely know what they're doing and will have you laughing the whole time.
