From Lyndsey:
"Thank you for the experience: The fun, safe place to be brave and do something I've never done before! The entire deal, from getting there and being pampered with beautiful hair & makeup, the shooting time with you, laughing in my undies, and now the final product...it's beautiful. Thank you for capturing me at 36, no big milestones, just regular me in the midst of a beautiful life."

From Mollie:
"There’s nothing more intimidating than being in front of a camera, let alone in revealing clothing. That was my biggest concern, but by the end of my session I couldn’t have felt more beautiful, more special, more amazing. Bailey is an AMAZING photographer and person. She’s got an eye to bring out your most beautiful traits, traits we may not even realize are beautiful. I’d do it all over again!"

From Danielle:
“I was blown away by the whole experience! I did a full session with hair and makeup and it was worth every penny. I was super nervous, but...Bailey felt like a friend I've known forever and made me feel absolutely beautiful and comfortable. After leaving, I texted my friend and told her I can't remember the last time I felt so good about myself. Thank you so much for such a fun morning and amazing photos, Bailey!”

From Devon:
"I was so nervous about doing a boudoir shoot. Picking what to wear was stressful and I never really felt ready to do it...until I stepped in front of Bailey’s camera. She made everything feel comfortable and effortless! I left my session feeling the best I’ve ever felt, inside and out. I waited so long to just dive into it, and now I would do it again in a heartbeat! Bailey is the absolute best!"

From Morgann:
"Having boudoir photos of myself have never been high on my list of things to do in life... until I read about what Bailey stands for. Don’t get me wrong, I was scared as all heck! I even thought about turning around and going home on my way to the photo shoot — but I reminded myself of what Bailey stands for, and in turn, reminded myself what I stand for: Real, beautiful women who want real, beautiful pictures. Yes I was nervous, but it was hella-fun to be glammed up and treated like the crowned princess I am inside. Not only did Bailey encourage me to embrace fabulous natural lighting and the way my body moves, but the finished images made my husband swoon!”

FAQ
-
The choice is yours! All images are kept private by default, as outlined in our contract. After your session, you'll receive a release form to sign, which gives you complete control over which images, if any, you'd like to share.
-
As a general rule, I won't touch anything that's permanent (i.e. scars, stretch marks, smile lines), because these things are a part of who you are! However, I WILL guide you into gorgeous, flattering light, give you plenty of direction, leading you into poses that flatter your unique shape, and be extra mindful of those areas you feel self-conscious about (we've all got 'em!).
-
For the Full Sessions, professional hair & makeup is an optional upgrade. For Mini Sessions, hair & makeup is on your own unless otherwise stated.
-
Believe it or not, you may already have everything you need in your closet! There's no need to invest in a ton of new pieces.
Remember: Boudoir doesn't always mean lace & lingerie! Some of my favorite looks for either Boudoir or Maternity/Motherhood include your lazy Sunday uniform (think sleep shorts, cute tanks, and off-the-shoulder tops).
Other ideas include...
a comfy sweater
your fave bra & undies
a fun lace body suit
a cozy flannel
a blanket or shawl
a bralette & booty shorts
a well-loved off-the-shoulder tee
a billowing skirt paired with a bra
a breezy kimono robe
...and more!
When you book, I'll send inspiration + ideas, along with my favorite sources for boudoir outfits. Don't worry if you're feeling indecisive; I always encourage my clients to bring more items than they need, and I'll help pick & choose on-site! -
You'll receive a sneak peek (2-3 images) within a week! Your full gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks of your session. Albums & prints may take additional time to create + ship.

FEATURED CLIENT:
“My boudoir session with Bailey was nothing short of life changing."
"After booking, I thought I had to lose some weight. If I was going to be investing in these photos for a lifetime then I had to look my very best. Well surprise! The weight didn’t come off, but I didn’t care. When I’m 50 years old I don’t want to say, 'I wish I would have done that boudoir shoot…I looked so hot at 24, but I thought I was too big!' So I went in headfirst knowing that if not today, that SOMEDAY I’d be able to show myself some grace.
That “someday” came a lot sooner than I expected it to. I was absolutely floored when I got my photos back! While going through my gallery, the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' were continuous! Somehow each new photo I saw became my 'favorite'. I am pretty sure I said out loud, 'Is this really me?'
During my session I never felt super posed or uncomfortable. It felt like I was at coffee shop catching up with an old friend! We held a conversation while Bailey held the camera and made me feel like a mega babe. Probably once a week I look back on my photos and say, 'That’s ME!' when I need a pick me up. A boudoir session with Bailey is simply worth it. YOU are simply worth it!”
