The Velvet Boudoir Studio is a private, inclusive space located in Chatham, Ontario.
It’s filled with beautiful natural light, multiple shooting areas, gorgeous furniture and plenty of little details we can use to create a variety of looks throughout your session.
You’ll also have access to the Client Closet in sizes XS–6X, a private changing area and everything we need for your full boudoir experience.

Almost everyone walks through my studio doors with a few butterflies!
On your Session Day, we start slowly, have some fun and take things one step at a time. Usually it doesn’t take long before the nerves settle and you’re wondering why you were ever worried in the first place.
Come exactly as you are. I’ll meet you there🖤
-
Nope! That's my job!
I’ll guide you through each pose throughout the entire session, from your facial expressions right down to your fingertips and toes!
All you have to do is show up, follow my lead and enjoy yourself.
I’ll take care of the rest.

We hear this one a lot! The secret is to wear anything that makes you feel good. Anything that makes you feel like your favourite version of yourself.
The best outfit is the one that makes you feel confident. We also have a Client Closet FULL of lingerie for you to borrow for your boudoir session! Sizes range from XS-6X in a variety of styles! We’ll go through everything together on your Session Day and choose the looks that photograph beautifully and feel the most like YOU.
I still recommend bringing at least one outfit you already know you love, just in case your personal style is different from what I have available.
Once you’re booked, you’ll also receive my Styling Guide to help you prepare.

Absolutely! 🔥
You do not have to go nude during your session.
You can wear as little or as much as you want!
It's whatever makes YOU feel sexy and empowered!If you do end up deciding that you would like to be a little more risqué, let me know! The poses will continue to be classy. Even during artistic nude images, everything is photographed in a tasteful, elegant way using posing, lighting, and composition. I keep sessions fun, yet very professional in every way.

Only with your permission!
Before your session you’ll choose exactly how private you’d like your experience to be. Whether you’d love to be featured, only share anonymous images, or keep everything completely private, that choice is entirely yours.
Your body, your choice, and I respect that.

Plan to spend approximately 4–5 hours with me on Session Day.
We’ll begin with professional hair and makeup, then go through wardrobe together before moving into your fully guided photo session.
Your exact timing will vary slightly depending on your collection and any Session Add-Ons you choose.
This is your day! Enjoy every minute of it! 🥰

Your photographs deserve to become heirlooms. I work exclusively with professional print labs that produce museum-quality artwork with true-to-life colour and exceptional craftsmanship.
Professional labs also offer a much higher level of privacy and care than consumer print stores, so you can feel confident knowing your images are handled respectfully from beginning to end.
The result is artwork that will still look beautiful decades from now.
