Elegant, Joyful & Sensual: A Modern Approach to Bridal Boudoir Photography

Bridal boudoir photography is so much more than beautiful images—it’s an experience designed to help you feel confident, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself during one of the most meaningful seasons of your life. My approach to boudoir is elegant, joyful, and sensual, with an emphasis on making every client feel relaxed, supported, and celebrated—especially if this type of session feels way outside your comfort zone.

A Boudoir Experience That Feels Safe, Fun, and Effortless

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before a boudoir session. Many of my clients tell me they’ve never done anything like this before—and that’s exactly why my process is intentionally calm, guided, and pressure-free. From gentle posing to natural movement, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you never feel awkward or unsure.

My goal is for your session to feel fun, light, and surprisingly empowering. We focus on soft movement, natural expressions, and moments that feel authentic rather than overly posed. This allows your personality, joy, and confidence to shine through—creating images that feel elevated, timeless, and truly you.

An Elegant & Sensual Style That Never Feels Forced

My boudoir photography style is rooted in elegance and sensuality, not shock value. Think soft light, refined compositions, romantic details, and images that feel both intimate and artistic. Whether you choose lace, silk, an oversized button-down, or something more minimal, the focus is always on creating photographs that feel beautiful, empowering, and sophisticated.

Boudoir isn’t about looking a certain way—it’s about feeling present in your body and honoring yourself exactly as you are in this moment. The result is imagery that feels joyful, confident, and deeply personal.

Why Bridal Boudoir Is Such a Meaningful Wedding Experience

Bridal boudoir sessions are often scheduled before the wedding, making them a powerful way to pause and celebrate yourself amid the excitement of planning. Many clients walk away feeling more confident, more grounded, and more connected to themselves—an energy that carries beautifully into their wedding day.

It’s a reminder that this season isn’t just about becoming someone’s spouse—it’s also about honoring you.

A Boudoir Album: The Ultimate Wedding Gift

One of the most popular ways to present your images is through a luxury boudoir album, and for good reason. A beautifully designed album makes an incredibly meaningful and intimate wedding gift for your partner—one that’s personal, romantic, and timeless.

Unlike a digital gallery, a printed album becomes a keepsake you can return to for years to come. Many couples choose to gift the album on the wedding morning or honeymoon, creating a moment that feels both intimate and unforgettable. It’s a gift that celebrates love, confidence, and connection in a way few things can.

Boudoir That Celebrates Confidence, Joy, and You

Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, my goal is to create a boudoir experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely yourself. Bridal boudoir photography isn’t about perfection—it’s about joy, elegance, and embracing this chapter of your story with confidence and grace.

If you’re considering a boudoir session and want an experience that feels relaxed, elevated, and empowering, I’d love to help you create something truly beautiful.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET Claire

Capturing love, connection, and timeless beauty in every wedding and lifestyle session.

An editorial and cinematic wedding photographer based in the breathtaking landscapes of Northern California. My journey as a wedding photographer began in 2016, shortly after I graduated from UC Berkeley. Photography started as a creative outlet for me as I worked towards a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology but each year that my business grew, my passion for storytelling grew with it. After completing my doctorate, I decided to venture on the path less taken (or likely never taken) and apply the incredible skills learned in my graduate training towards a career as a wedding photographer.  This has given me the ability to capture not just moments, but emotions, creating timeless visual narratives that reflect the genuine essence of each couple's love story. My awareness of emotions allows me to better connect with clients, translating their stories into captivating and authentic images. Driven by both artistic passion and psychological understanding, I aim to transform weddings into art, preserving the beauty of emotional connections that last a lifetime.

While Northern California is my home and my muse, my love for photography knows no boundaries. I've had the honor of traveling to capture destination weddings, crafting timeless images that reflect the essence of love in the most extraordinary settings.

I hope as you browse through this site you enjoy my work and you will be able to see how much I love capturing raw and authentic moments with all natural lighting!
