Why Invest In

Boudoir photography

A boudoir session with Steamy Esteem isn’t just about photos - it’s a transformative experience. It’s a chance to rediscover your confidence, your beauty, and the version of you that often gets lost in the daily routine. This isn’t the “running errands and making lists” you - this is the bold, sensual, powerful you. The one who deserves to be seen.

Imagine this: You walk into the studio, a little nervous (everyone is—it’s completely normal). But as the session unfolds, something incredible happens. The camera clicks, I show you the back of the screen, and there you are—stunning, radiant, unstoppable.


"If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind."

There You Are

Stunning, powerful

Any self-doubt? Gone. Because the camera doesn’t lie. And neither does the feeling you’ll carry long after your session is over.

Investing in boudoir is investing in yourself—your confidence, your self-love, your power. You deserve to see yourself in this light. You deserve to feel this way.

So stop overthinking it. Stop putting it off. Just do it.

Below, you’ll find details on the Session Retainer Fee and all the options available to you. Let’s make this happen!

Investing in Happier Tomorrows

Sitting for a shoot is one thing. But you want to feel that thrill again, over and over again, in the years and decades ahead. I once argued with myself about calling this an investment. Then I realized why I keep paying my therapist: “I want happier days ahead.”

A boudoir Keepsake is just like that.

You get the album or the wall art to reflect on, relive, and inspire feelings of strength, beauty, and confidence all over again, and again, and again, For life!

Keepsakes include albums, folios, metal-print wall art, acrylic blocks, and more. Please request a Consult for specific prices. I offer the ability to pay over time, penalty-free (no work is done until payment in full).

All keepsake products are enhanced, final edits, meaning the image is optimized to look its absolute best.
