Hendersonville Boudoir & Portrait Photographer
Woodland portraits and body-positive boudoir for Hendersonville, Flat Rock, and Laurel Park. A slow, playful session that leaves you feeling more like yourself, not less.
Book a ConversationSee PricingHendersonville Is Practically My Backyard
My studio is in Saluda, about twenty minutes from downtown Hendersonville, so Henderson County clients get the easiest commute of anyone I photograph. That means more flexibility on dates, easier planning meetings in person, and no long drive to talk you out of it on the morning of your session.
I've been photographing people for over twenty years. Maybe you're in a season of change: kids grown and gone, a new chapter after retirement, a body that's been through something and come out the other side. If that sounds like you, you're exactly who these sessions are for.
You don't need to be photogenic. You don't need to lose ten pounds first. You just need to show up.

Milestone
Mark a big turn in your story: an empty nest, menopause, divorce, a diagnosis, recovery, or a fresh start. Unhurried pacing with room to feel what comes up.

My signature woodland experience. Untimed, usually 1.5 to 2 hours, with a planning meeting, an online gallery, and an 8x10 print. Payment plans available.
Details →Boudoir
Two to three looks, from lingerie to an old favorite sweater to nothing at all. Indoors at your Hendersonville home, outdoors in the woods, or both.
Details →Play Day
A small-group dress-up day in the forest with a picnic and journaling prompts. Just four spots each time, held every few weeks.
Details →Group Boudoir
Two hours, unlimited photos, and your favorite people. Made for birthdays, bachelorettes, and Galentine's gatherings in a rental or someone's living room.

Woods, Home, or Somewhere in Between
Henderson County is full of quiet forest, creeks, and old trees, and I know where to find the private corners. We'll pick the right backdrop together during your planning meeting.
Mossy ground, dappled light, water nearby. My specialty, and a short drive from town.
From a historic house near Main Street to a cabin in the hills, the place you live already tells your story.
A Flat Rock Airbnb or a weekend rental works beautifully for boudoir and group sessions.
Got a garden, a studio, or a spot that matters to you? Bring the idea and we'll make it work.

Good Questions
How far are you from Hendersonville?
About twenty minutes. My studio is in Saluda, just down the road, so sessions in Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Laurel Park, and Fletcher are easy to schedule.
Can we meet in person to plan?
Yes. Because I'm so close, meeting in person in Hendersonville is easy. Virtual planning works too if that's simpler for you.
Do you do in-home boudoir in Hendersonville?
I do. Boudoir can happen in your home, a rental, a hotel room, or out in the woods, or we can mix indoor and outdoor.
I'm over 50. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Every age and every body is welcome. These sessions are about celebrating exactly where you are in life right now.
Do I have to get naked?
Absolutely not. And if you do want photos in your birthday suit, I'll capture that in a way that feels celebratory, not predatory.
What does a session cost?
Individual sessions are $900 with payment plans available. Play Days are $400 and Group Boudoir is $1,250. Full details live on the Investment page.
