Meet your photographer 

I’m Abby — the photographer and creative heart behind SW boudoir. I’m a lover of beautiful light, quiet details, meaningful moments, and the kind of imagery that helps women see themselves with new eyes. I’m also a self-love advocate, a gentle encourager, and — admittedly — a bit of a nerd when it comes to perfecting my craft. From the moment you book, I design your experience with intention and care. I personally guide you through every step — wardrobe planning, styling direction, preparation tips, and mood design — so you never feel unsure or unprepared. You’ll know exactly what to expect and how to get the most out of your session.

Inside the studio, you are never left wondering what to do. I demonstrate poses, coach you through expression and movement, adjust every detail, and direct you in a way that feels natural and flattering. I watch the small things — posture, hands, angles, light — so you can stay present and simply enjoy the moment.

My sessions are equal parts refined and energizing — calm where you need comfort, hype where you need confidence. You’ll be supported, celebrated, and expertly guided from start to finish.

Why Boudoir?

 "Because you’re more than just your reflection—you’re a story worth capturing."

What to Expect During Your Boudoir Session

Pre-Session Consultation:

Before we even pick up the camera, we’ll have a chat to understand exactly what you want from the session. Do you want something soft and romantic? Bold and daring? We’ll make sure everything aligns with your vision.

  Styling & Wardrobe:

We’ll guide you on outfit choices, from lingerie to accessories. Whether you’re looking for something classic and elegant, playful and daring, or anything in between.

Guidance & Posing:

Our sessions are all about making you feel confident and relaxed. We’ll be right there with you, guiding you through every pose, offering tips to bring out your best angles, and ensuring you feel comfortable the entire time

The Photo Reveal:

After the shoot, we’ll sit down together to review your images. You’ll be able to see the raw beauty captured in every shot and choose the ones that speak to you the most. From prints to albums, we’ll help you choose the perfect way to cherish and display your images.

Boudoir sessions are custom packaged to your needs.

We capture the bold, the romantic, the authentic moments that represent who you are.

What should I wear to my boudoir session?

You should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident! Lingerie is a classic choice, but feel free to bring other outfits like oversized shirts, bodysuits, or even something that holds special meaning to you. We’ll guide you through wardrobe choices during your consultation to ensure everything aligns with your vision.

Do I need to have experience in front of the camera?

Not at all! Our job is to help you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're a seasoned model or it's your first time, we’ll guide you through poses, expressions, and angles that bring out the best version of yourself.

Do you bring backup equipment?

Yes! We all love technology, and we’ve all had it malfunction on us. Because of that, we always come prepared! Your photographer will always have an extra camera with them. We also arm ourselves with lots of extra storage, batteries, and lighting equipment, just in case!
