What’s holding you back from changing your life?
“The resulting images were not just photographs; they were a testament to the alchemical process that had taken place. I looked at myself in ways I never had before – curves, imperfections, and all – and saw a woman who was beautifully flawed, unapologetically real, and utterly captivating. It was a visual love letter to myself, and for the first time, I fell headlong into the embrace of my own authenticity.”
You were made for this.
Every empowering photoshoot offered at our studio will include the option to have a full makeover with your session.

“If you've looking for boudoir photography, your search is over. Done. Stop scrolling.
Kandice is not merely a professional photographer who will help you with outfits, poses, and lighting. She is also an artist. You will transform into a more confident version of your already beautiful self, and she will help that vision find the camera.
I had a session and purchased a book for my husband as a Christmas present. We've been together over fifteen years and I thought it would surprise him. What surprised me is how much fun and how memorable the experience was for me personally. And every time I pass the print I choose for our bedroom, I relive that memory. A boost for morale daily! It was truly a gift for both of us.
I appreciated Kandice's advice on photo selection as well. She helped me recognize the best features of each, so nothing was overlooked, and calmed my insecurities. Some of the pictures he really enjoyed were surprises to me, yet thanks to Kandice, I had a great variety - including ideas I had never thought of like dripping honey. I've since caught him just looking through the book twice now. (Thanks, girl!)
I can state with certainty that at any age, body type, or insecurity, Kandice will make you feel like your best you. It isn't just a photo shoot. It's a life experience you deserve to have.” -Valerie-

Boudoir Photography is a luxury service.
A professional photographer has a set of expenses that must be covered for each session. Each studio has a cost of doing business and it's not inexpensive by any means and photography is a highly skilled profession, and a paid one just like any other profession.
If clients want the best, it must be understood there is a cost that comes with receiving the luxury service from a professional who provides these services and scheduling everything for each client, catering to their needs as well as possessing knowledge and skill of offering the best.
Additional expenses to consider:
Professional licensing- each town and city requires its very own license to legally do business. This can get quite expensive. The photographers who are trustworthy and legit will do their best to stay up to date on these licenses.
Lease/Rental is very expensive in the nicer areas of town and let's face it, no one wants to do a boudoir session in a sketchy area.
Insurance- we have to be covered in all areas just in case.
Time spent with each client- From the first inquiry to the final delivery of your album, your photographer will have spent anywhere from 8 to 15 or sometimes more hours on your session alone. Some of the work is done crafting emails for you, researching outfits, gathering info from you to personalize your session, and making playlists, but most of that is going to be spent arranging your luxe services for clients, marketing for clients to find us, opening our studio and making it presentable with cleanings, guiding you skillfully, moving props and pieces around set, and retouching. Lots of retouching as well as designing your album which can take many hours.
The purchasing of beautiful gowns and accessories to make your session extra luxurious and accommodating is an important thing that clients look for when choosing a photographer and this takes a lot of time.
Don't forget education and experience. Years and rising costs of education can add up but it is necessary. A photographer who continues their education is going to know exactly how to work with you to give you the most successful and beautiful photo experience.
So much of a photographer's job is completely unseen. Photography is one of the highest skill-related jobs out there and has some of the most expensive equipment and overhead costs of any skilled work.
So, the cost of running this business is added up for the year and divided by the number of sessions each photographer determines they have the time to provide a great service to without sacrificing quality. The total expenses is divided by the total number of clients. That is the amount that photographers need to make in a session in order to remain in business and profitable.
