info & booking guide

I’m so happy for you!

Look at youuuu stepping out of your comfort zone and into a perspective-shifting, growth-inducing, and SUPER FUN self-love experience! You’re really prioritizing yourself here aren’t you? I’m so proud of you and super excited to have you in for a session- we're going to have the best time!

I’m Michaela, your hype-girl from behind the camera! My goal is that your session day feels like a huge step on your self-love journey and your images empower you to look back at this uniquely beautiful version of your ever-changing body and endlessly worthy self with more love and appreciation for the rest of your life!

To help ease the inevitable uncomfy that gets mixed into the excitement of capturing the art that is you, I've included all the details you need to know about your experience in this Info & booking guide! I Hope it answers all of your questions and leaves you feeling ready to get on my schedule at last! Remember, your Sensual Embodiment Boudoir Experience is all about connecting with your body, sensuality, and self, finally embracing the pieces of yourself that the world has taught you to hide away, and I can't waitttt to meet that part of you!

Let me show you around the experience! ♡

  • Step one of your experience- a complimentary pre-session consultation call to help us get to know each other, set the vibe, and organize session details!

  • After over half a decade helping women unveil new sides of themselves through this work, I’ve learned a thing or two! To keep you from having to google, guess, and stress over what’s to come, I’ve created a few little guides to support you through preparing for your session! Of course, if there’s anything you’re still curious about or questioning, I’m only a text away!

  • Planning what to wear in your session can be super fun or super stressful- and I’m prepared to support you in both of these big feelings! While you're welcome to bring a piece that is self-expressive and fun for you, and I’ll even send you recommendations and advice in my wardrobe guide, feel free to show up with nothing to wear! I’ve got you covered with my fully stocked client closet, featuring pieces from my favorite women-owned shops and more in size XS-6XL!

  • We’re doing so much more than freezing in place for this one! I want you to walk away from your session with a few extra tools and pieces of insight into how to love yourself more deeply, regulate your nervous system, and connect with your body outside of session day. Expect full, expert-level guidance on posing, somatic movements, breathwork, and sensual expression throughout the session, leaving you with nothing to overthink so you can sink into the feeling of it all!

  • Each image from your session receives its own individual attention as I retouch, adjust, and perfect it by hand! While I do not reshape, resize, or remove permanent parts of the beautiful YOU (think scars, rolls, and stretch marks), you can expect light skin smoothing and removal of any temporary “blemishes” (think pimples, bruises, and panty tags) to create images that truly show the real you in your best light!

  • After your session, we’ll hop on a video chat to “ooo”, “ahh”, and obsess over your images! We’ll select your favs, prepare for your album design, and finalize your artwork selections!

  • Your session includes access to my flexible, interest-free payment plans, helping you have the most chill session possible! Payment plans are fully customized to your individual needs and available up to 12 months before your session date with payments as low as $35!

  • Confidence is more than a feeling- it’s the result of stepping out of your comfort zone, doing the damn thing (even when you’re scared), and proving to yourself that you are safe on the other side! When our bodies know what to expect, our nervous system can chill tf out and go with the flow much more easily. To help you practice how it will feel to move your body, express your emotions, and witness these new sides of yourself in your session, I loveeee to include my Self-Love-Centered Spicy Selfie Posing Guide as a sweet bonus for you to play with leading up to our day together!

everyday women

on their self-love journey 

“I wish I could have that much confidence.”

“She looks so comfy in her own skin!”

“I’m wayyy too awkward to ever look like that.”

“Yeah, maybe 10 years ago!”

“Girl, as soon as I lose this baby weight…”

These are all things my clients have said in my comment section before booking their session. Now, people see their photos and say the same things about them!

Everyone you see in my gallery is a normal person just like you who decided to take this next step on her self-love journey, proving to herself she doesn’t need to be anything other than her own uniquely beautiful self to be worthy of her own love and acceptance- and neither do you.

what my past clients

want you to know:

“When I say I was NERVOUS… I mean NERVOUS.

This was completely NEW territory for me.

All I could think was:

What about my stretch marks?

What about my stomach?

What about my swollen ankle?

What about all the things I don’t always feel confident about?!

And let’s not forget, I was about to meet a stranger from the internet to take intimate photos of me.

But let me be VERY clear about how this actually went:

1. Michaela is EXACTLY the person you want to do this with.

And yes she is 100% a real person! From the moment we started, she walked me through every fear. She hyped me up nonstop. She supported me, reassured me, and created such a safe space. It was so refreshing to be fully myself in such a vulnerable moment.

2. This experience completely changed how I see myself.

For so long, I couldn’t understand how I could be seen as sexy or sensual. But doing a boudoir session with Michaela? Something shifted. She guided me on how to move, how to pose, what to do with my hands (literally all of it!!). And now? I am OBSESSED with my photos. I finally saw myself as a sexy, sensual woman. It wasn’t just about the poses. The entire process showed me that I can show up this way… and I can love what I see.

3. Give me all the stretch marks and tummy photos.

And this is what I mean. Seeing myself represented so beautifully, just as I am, increased my appreciation for myself by 100000%. The things I used to question? I now see it as part of my beauty.

I would do this over and over again. My experience was beautiful, empowering, and SO much fun!!

If you’ve been thinking about it, I hope you find the courage to go for it. You deserve to see yourself this way.”

- Alexis

“My biggest advice is this:

book the shoot.”

Even if you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin or like the way your body looks.

The self-love journey my first shoot pushed me on is something I never could’ve expected, but it has helped me in more ways than I could ever put into words.

Although I still don’t love every part of my body 100% of the time, I am now more comfortable with parts of myself I thought could never be worthy of love or attention.

I can look at photos of myself and not just love or hate a photo in its entirety, but pick out parts that I can find beauty in, even the rolls and cellulite that we have been conditioned to hate so much by family, society, or just ourselves.

It’s okay if you don’t love everything about the way you look all of the time.

I’ve been able to be kinder, more loving, and more accepting of my body than I ever have been in my life.

-Crystal

I loved every second of it, and I loved seeing the photos from the camera’s point of view! I truly believe that’s the one way for a women to see themself as others see them, it’s a magical thing really! There’s nothing to be nervous about, it’s just you against the world in that moment. Time truly stands still during the shoot, and you don’t hear all the negative thoughts that might have been in your head beforehand, all you hear is Michaela boosting your confidence and cheering you on! -Megan

I also had in my head, because societal norms, that boudoir was for skinny, well endowed, in perfect shape women. I’m learning to love the skin I’m in. Doing this session made me feel empowered! I felt sexy as hell when I was shown a few of the images! I never knew I could feel like that in the body I call home. If you’re on the fence about doing a boudoir session with Michaela, jump off on the yes side!! You’ll never find a better person or experience!! -Michelle

In this new life I'm building, I decided it was time to love myself. I’ve lived in a little self-hatred bubble for far too long in my life. I hated that I was gay. I hated that I was in an abusive relationship. I hated the example I was setting for my daughter. It’s time to enjoy life darn it. I got to express this masculine side of myself that I have suppressed for so long, and I somehow have never felt more beautiful. -Crista

This body has held me together, physically and mentally; it shows a lot of things. How strong, and yet still soft, flawed but perfect in its own way. I can’t believe I did that, and I look great! I love that it makes me feel good about myself. -Jilli

It is worth every dime, I promise you! Michaela makes it fun, and it feels like hanging out with a best friend getting my photos done. The others are just pose this, do this, etc. DO IT! -J

We’re only given one body, just because our brain and society say it should look one way doesn’t matter. Embracing our ever-evolving body, no matter what chapter we’re in, is important. I’ve learned to be less critical of my body and just accept her

I was blown away. I kept thinking, that’s not me, but it is. I struggle with my body image greatly, so seeing photos of myself that were so stunning was crazy to me. I still look at them and can’t believe that’s me. They exceeded all of my expectatio

your burning questions

asked & answered

  • My dear, sweet summer child, that’s the point! While I will be sending you tips on building confidence before your session, you aren’t meant to show up on session day feeling like the baddest bitch alive! The confidence you feel like you’re lacking is the exact thing we want you to feel LEAVING your session!

    I pinky promise the women whose photos you’ve been admiring on my page felt the same way coming into their session, but they also felt tireddddd of waiting for the confidence boost the session is designed to create to magically appear before ever booking the session. They felt the fear and took the leap anyway, and I am confident you can, too!

    "I don’t know how to be s*xy. I’m a derpy little awkward gal who’s unsure of myself. By the end of it, I felt so confident. So relaxed. So much more like myself than I have been in a long time. It was such a positive experience, and Michaela made me feel like one hot mama jama!" -Crista

  • We all tend to see ourselves through this muddied lens of societal expectations and patriarchal beliefs about how we must look, act, and be to prove ourselves worthy of our own love and acceptance. But I clean my lens before every session, and you’re going to loveee the way you look from my perspective!

    Here’s what Jessie said about how my approach to boudoir impacts the way you see yourself in your final images: “You see the beauty in what others perceive as flaws and then throw it back in their faces!” 😂

    After 6+ years of photographing women in their most vulnerable states and showing them sides of themselves they’ve never before experienced, I have never ever not once had a client tell me she doesn’t like her photos. The closest I’ve got to that was with Crystal, who bullied herself through her image reveal session, so we talked through challenging those negative beliefs she had playing on repeat about her body and self so she could see the true beauty that was there all along, just waiting for her to recognize it. That was at her first session, and we’ve since had two more sessions and a trip to Italy for her to fall in love with! Scroll up to the hot beach photos to see her advice to you after her first session 💕

  • Allow me to reintroduce myself…

    My name is Michaela, and I’m the QUEEN of posing!

    One thing I want you to keep in mind now and going through your session is that it’s not your job to know how to hit the perfect pose, what to do with your hands, or how to bring out different pieces of you for us to see- it’s mine! And if I’m being totally honest with you, I’m reallyyyy good at my job. That’s why you’re here, right?

    I’m going to guide you step by step through each pose by getting into position and showing it to you in real time, then talking you through it as you cozy into the pose yourself, AND finally physically move parts of your body that don’t land quite right- with your consent, of course! I want you to spend absolutely zero time worrying about how to pose and what the photos will look like, trusting that I’ve already got you covered!

    “What made me nervous was worrying about if I could do the poses and if I was able to look sexy doing them! Once I got there and everything was explained, I knew I would nail it! Michaela will put those fears to rest. She has such a great personality and instantly feels like family!” -Michelle

  • While you’re more than welcome to bring your own outfit, I have a client closet stocked with sizes XS- 6XL, so you don’t have to bring a thing! I’ll send you a wardrobe guide after booking with style recommendations, my fav shops, and what not to bring! You’re also more than welcome to send me inspo and ask for my opinion on different outfits while you’re shopping!

  • Yes, my travel locations for 2026 are listed above! I update my travel locations every year, so feel free to send me a message asking for a new location for 2027!

  • Your privacy is priority. You will receive a Model Release and Privacy Contract after the session that allows you to give written consent for sharing all, some, or none of your images. I'd love to share your story with others who look to us for empowerment, inspiration, and encouragement, IF it's what you want! Otherwise, they stay between us!

love letters for…

  • the self-love seeker

    “I was so nervous going into my session. I've never been comfortable in my own skin and I never do anything for myself. I had such a great time, and if you want to do anything for yourself, do this!

    It's an AMAZING experience and so worth it. I was on CLOUD 9 DAYS after mv session”

  • the momma bear

    “My session literally changed my whole mood about myself after walking out. I'm more comfortable and confident with myself and my body! I can actually think of myself as being SEXY. It helped me start getting out of my funk after having my last baby.”

  • the nervous nelly

    “For those of you who are thinking about doing a shoot but are unsure about it, I highly recommend doing it. I was scared at first but left with so much self-confidence, especially after seeing the results!”

  • the comfort zone queen

    “It was definitely a confidence boost, even just seeing the non-edited pictures! It made me feel beautiful inside and out. Just step out of your comfort zone and do it! It is so worth it in the end!”

  • the wounded feminine

    “Insecure isn't even a strong enough word to describe how I went into this shoot.

    PHENOMENAL is the word I would use to describe how I felt coming out. Michaela worked her MAGIC on me. I never knew I could look like this!”
