San Luis Obispo Boudoir Photographer
“It’s not about seducing men,
it’s about embracing womanhood.”
— Dita Von Tesse
Modern boudoir celebrates your body and your confidence in a welcoming and warm environment. It can be exactly the experience you want, from soft and romantic to moody and sexy. You just bring yourself and your confidence. As a San Luis Obispo boudoir photographer, I’ll supply all the support you need and my guidance to make it fun and memorable.
Why Boudoir?
Why not?
Because you’re getting married. Because you want to feel sexy. Because it’s a Tuesday and why the hell not? Different people do boudoir for different reasons, and they are all valid. I chose to do boudoir as a romantic, intimate gift for my husband before our marriage, but your reason is yours alone.
I welcome all reasons and all body types.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
You’re in the driver’s seat here, but think of me as your co-driver, the one with the directions and snacks. I’ll help you pick a location and give you tips on outfits, but I want you to feel fully in charge of how you want to be photographed. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you every step of the way to make sure we’re showing off the parts you love most about yourself. Trust me, by the end you’ll be feeling it and leave excited to have these amazing, sexy photos to prove it.
Your Boudoir photographs are only for you and those YOU choose to share it with.
That means I don't publicly share Boudoir Galleries.
If you’d like access to a password-protected gallery that I share with permission, get in touch. I can’t wait to show you what modern boudoir photography can be.
"JESS, YOU ARE AMAZING!
THE PHOTOS ARE INCREDIBLE!"
Thank you so so much! I love them!
Now is the hard part...figuring out which ones to choose haha.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

A Real Person
Celebrating Real Bodies
Because you’re getting married. Because you want to feel sexy. Because it’s a Tuesday and why the hell not? Different people do boudoir for different reasons, and they are all valid. I chose to do boudoir as a romantic, intimate gift for my husband before our marriage, but your reason is yours alone.
Setting the Stage
Locations
Make it your own style. We can shoot at your own house, a cute beachside Airbnb, or even the actual beach. Anywhere you’re comfortable showing a little skin is the perfect place for our session.
When you’re picking your spot, my recommendation is to make sure it’s a light space and that it’s clean and simple unless we're showing off the location's vibe.
If you're not sure where you'd like your session, I have access to a studio with gorgeous light.

Outfits
Choose what makes you feel sexiest and most at home in your body. I always make sure to highlight the parts of your body you love the most, but consider your outfits from multiple angles.
I recommend three outfits, but the rest is up to you! Wear killer heels or go barefoot. Gorgeous lingerie or your wedding veil for you brides-to-be. It’s totally up to you! And remember, completely bare can be one of your outfits too.
Hair, Makeup + Body
We’ll be getting up close and personal, so be mindful of tan lines or indentation marks from tight clothing.
More than that, though, this is an opportunity to pamper yourself with hair and make-up. If you’re getting married along the Central Coast, your boudoir session pairs really well with your hair and make-up trial.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a couple laugh or cry as much as these two did. It was such a joy to be in their presence and celebrate their joining family.
A + J’s happiness was absolutely contagious and I feel it every time I look at these photos. Enjoy part 1 of this sweet couple’s wedding at Cass Winery!

Had the best weekend hosting my first retreat!! We had absolutely to-die-for food prepared by Chef Melanie, welcome drink & Moon Mama tea by Gaia’s Garden & Apothecary, massages by Marie West, sound bath by Let’s Get Tuned, all at the Hangout Hideaway. To say this retreat was a success is an understatement. I’m so incredibly grateful for those who helped bring this dream to life and for these dear friends who trusted me with their precious time & resources to care for them this weekend.
I’ll definitely be planning more retreats so let me know if you think you’d be interested in my next one!! 🌱

The secret’s out!! This spring, I had the incredible opportunity to go to Alaska to photograph a special type of wedding - my sister got married on a glacier! The weather was absolutely perfect, warm in fact, a clear day full of sun. The helicopter pilot officiated while my parents acted as bridal party. An absolutely unforgettable experience. And this week they surprised their guests at their wedding reception in California with a video unveiling their elopement. Happy tears and cheers were had by all reliving and sharing the emotions of the day with close family and friends.
To see more stunning photos of this mesmerizing glacier elopement, be sure to visit my blog! You can find the link in my bio.
