Annapolis Boudoir Photography
boudoir without the bullshit
why boudoir?
Sexy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Neither is boudoir.
I offer Annapolis boudoir photography for people who want something real — not overstyled sets or cookie-cutter poses. My approach is minimalist boudoir photography focused on confidence, connection, and presence. Clean light. Natural posing. Subtle retouching. Just you, exactly as you are.
Clients book my Annapolis MD boudoir sessions to celebrate milestones, reconnect with their bodies, or document their confidence right now — often as a gift to themselves.
No modeling experience required. Nervous is normal. I’ll guide you through everything with calm direction and reassurance.
If you’re searching for a boudoir photographer in Annapolis or the DMV who values authenticity over trends, you’re in the right place.
Who i serve
You don’t need modeling experience to belong here.
Most of my clients are everyday women — professionals, mothers, partners, creatives — who have never done anything like this before. Many arrive feeling a little nervous, unsure how to pose, or convinced they’re “not photogenic.”
This experience is designed for beginners. For women who want to feel confident, elevated, and beautifully seen — without needing to know how to do any of it on their own.
what to expect
From the moment you book, every detail is thoughtfully guided.
You’ll receive preparation guidance to help you select wardrobe pieces, prepare your skin, and walk into your session feeling calm and ready. Professional hair and makeup options are available to enhance — not overpower — your natural features.
During your session, you are fully directed. I guide you through refined, flattering movements and subtle adjustments that create effortless, magazine-worthy images. Nothing feels rushed. We move with intention, building confidence as we go.
Your only responsibility is to show up. I handle the rest.

before the dress
Before the dress. Before the aisle. Before the chaos.
You’ve planned the florals. The timeline. The seating chart.
But you haven’t paused for yourself.
The Before the Dress Session is a modern, pared-back boudoir experience designed for brides who want to feel confident walking down the aisle — not just look it. No over-the-top sets. No awkward posing. No boudoir clichés. Just you.
You’ll have professional hair and makeup — elevated, not overdone. We’ll spend 90 minutes creating images that feel effortless and honest. You’ll receive a handcrafted 8x8 album designed to be opened the morning of your wedding… when the nerves hit and everything suddenly feels real.
Some brides gift it. Some keep it for themselves. Most realize halfway through the session that they were never “bad in photos” to begin with.
Complimentary expedited editing included so your album is ready in time for wedding day gifting.
Investment: $1,075

Testimonials
Wow these are great Heather, thank you so much! I wanted to capture what my body looks like before starting chemo for breast cancer, which will be followed by surgery (probably a mastectomy) in a few months. Also ladies, if your breasts are labeled "dense", insist on an ultrasound and/or MRI in addition to your regular mammograms.

FAQ
1. I’ve never done anything like this before — will you help me pose?
Absolutely. You don’t need any experience. Every pose is fully guided, from where to place your hands to how to move your shoulders and chin. Most clients walk in nervous and leave feeling confident and completely taken care of.
2. Do you offer professional hair and makeup?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup services are available to enhance your natural features and help you feel polished and camera-ready. It’s a relaxing way to ease into your session and elevate the overall experience.
3. What should I wear to my boudoir session?
5. Will my images be shared online?
You’ll receive detailed prep guidance after booking to help you choose pieces that flatter your body and align with the look you want. Lingerie is welcome, but it’s not required — oversized sweaters, bodysuits, button-downs, or even simple sheets can create stunning images. You will also have access to my client closet where I take the thinking out of your hands.
Your privacy is always respected. Images are never shared without your written permission. If you choose to allow sharing, we’ll discuss exactly which images you’re comfortable with.
4. Where does the session take place?
6. How far in advance should I book?
Sessions take place in my private studio in Edgewater, MD, just outside of Annapolis. The space is designed specifically for boudoir — quiet, comfortable, and filled with beautiful natural light.
It’s best to book at least 4–8 weeks in advance, especially if your session is tied to a special date or gift. This allows time for planning, your session, and product delivery if applicable. I do, however, have availability sometimes the week of, so don't hesitate to reach out if you are on a tighter timeline!
