COVID-19 UPDATES: NOW BOOKING

As our top priority continues to be health and safety, we have added additional precautions at our sessions to mitigate risk for you and our makeup artist. Only one boudoir session is scheduled per day to allow us to fully clean and sanitize all furniture, bedding, props, and equipment before each session. In addition to our high studio sanitization standards, masks will be worn upon request for your personal comfort.
