Best. Gift. Ever.

It’s finally time for Boudoir Specialty Sessions! You ladies have asked if we are doing these photoshoots again this year and the answer is YES! These are short and sweet photoshoot experiences in our studio in Basel. The theme: White Shirts. Pair your favorite lingerie with your partner’s white shirt (or one from our client closet) and let’s make some holiday magic!

These 30 Minute Boudoir Photoshoots are the perfect way to add some spice to your holiday gift giving. Whether you are giving your photos away or keeping them all for yourself, they will be as fun to unwrap as you are (wink wink).

 

One Day Only: November 11

Our Special Holiday Photoshoot Event is one day only, November 11th : Only 2 sessions are still available!! Once they’re filled, the sale is over!


Together we are going to create stunning images of you that will last a lifetime. I’ve photographed over 400 women of different ages and sizes and I’m thrilled that you are joining those women in embracing your beauty and finding that glorious self-acceptance that we all want.

Photoshoots with me are fun and relaxed, we laugh a lot and I pose you from head to foot - it’s so easy and you are going to love it!

Hi, I’m Melissa, your Boudoir Photographer!

Featured in:

November 11.

Only 8 Sessions Available.

Get Excited.

Things to Know

This is all about feeling beautiful in your own skin. Everything is private and nothing will be seen by anyone other than yourself unless you give permission. The white shirt paired with lingerie is so much fun because it allows you to show as much (or as little!) skin as you are comfortable with. Your photos can be dark and sexy or bright and feminine, whichever you prefer!

You are the best gift.

What if I’m nervous?

Everyone is nervous before a photoshoot, you aren’t alone! BUT, don’t worry! We send a Preparation Guide before your photoshoot so you know exactly how to prepare - once you are in the studio we take care of everything, from makeup to posing. Here is a little preview of your schedule on the day of your session:

  1. Arrive for photoshoot: Yay, it’s finally the day!

  2. Makeup styling with our friendly makeup artist

  3. Fully guided photoshoot with Melissa

  4. Get changed and ready for your reveal

  5. Photo Reveal and Ordering Appointment

  6. Walk out with a new sense of confidence!!

You will be in and out of the studio in 2 hours!
