When we think of boudoir photography, it’s easy to imagine a glamorous, flawless image that seems almost out of reach for most of us. But what if I told you that boudoir is not about looking like a supermodel? In reality, it’s about embracing your unique beauty and capturing that confidence in a way that feels authentic and empowering. Every woman who steps in front of my camera is an everyday woman—moms, teachers, nurses, business owners—and each one brings her own story, personality, and allure.

Everyday To Slay: The Journey to Self-Confidence
One of my favorite things about being a boudoir photographer is witnessing the transformation that happens between the moment someone walks into the studio and the moment they see their final images. Before we even begin shooting, most women tell me they’re nervous and unsure if they’ll look “good enough.” But that’s the beautiful thing about boudoir—it’s for everyone.
Take a look at some of these before and after transformations below. Notice how the initial uncertainty melts away, replaced by fierce confidence, radiant energy, and undeniable beauty.

Before & After: Meet Ms. P, the Hard-Working Mom
Before: Mrs. P has always wanted to do a photoshoot, but held herself back from taking the time. Work and family keeps her busy and doing a photoshoot meant really dedicating time to herself.

After: Just a few poses in, Mrs. P’s confidence skyrocketed. With the right guidance, she started to loosen up and by the end of the session, she was posing like she’d been modeling for years! Her final images are bold, playful, and show a side of her she never knew existed.
“I loved every picture that I saw. I would've gotten every one if I could!” – Ms. P
Before & After: Meet Mrs. M, the Skeptic Turned Believer
Before: Mrs. M's biggest fear was looking silly trying to be sexy. Over the years, she's been hard on herself for weight and body shape. But after talking through her concerns, she decided to give it a shot.

After: When Mrs. M saw her photos for the first time, her reaction was “I can’t believe that’s me! You see yourself there, but it's not the every day you. It's incredible what this photoshoot can do to help you see yourself differently.”
Her before and after photos show a transformation in more ways than one—she left the studio with a new sense of pride and confidence in her body.
“I will be honest: Initially, I was looking for my flaws in the pictures, but very quickly, Maria helped me shift into looking for what I liked instead. I was able to see my qualities. I liked what I saw. I actually looked sexy in those pictures, and I stopped judging myself. It was a personal and empowering experience.” – Mrs. M
Before & After: Meet Ms. C, the Vintage Vixen
Before: Already having discovered the power of boudoir, Ms. C—a strong, career woman—decided to come back for a second round with us! This time, we wanted to get creative with vintage-inspired outfits and hair & makeup to channel classic Hollywood glam.

After: Upon seeing her photos, Ms. C was awestruck once again! Seeing the vintage vision combined with classic boudoir come to life was like re-living the first experience all over again. The transformation was incredible—not because she became someone else, but because she fully embraced her unique style and personality.
"I am over 50 and beginning to not feel the same way i used to about myself. I was blown away by the results. If you are even thinking about doing something like this please give Maria a shot to show you how special you are!" -Ms. C
