CELEBRATE YOUR BEAUTY, POWER, AND CONFIDENCE

My beautiful boudoir studio is located in Carlsbad, CA. Every session is a luxurious and empowering experience created to showcase your beauty, confidence, and strength. You deserve to see yourself as the powerful and breathtaking woman you are. My mission is to capture YOU in timeless, artful portraits that celebrate you and your beauty.

Whether you’re on a self-love journey, achieving a milestone, or simply ready to celebrate the unique, beautiful woman you are, I’m here to guide you through an unforgettable session designed just for you.

Monique is the best! I’ve worked with her twice now for boudoir photoshoots and she makes it a whole experience. Theres plenty of wardrobe to choose from, the studio is super nice and she makes you feel so comfortable. Her guidance with posing and having her hype you up during the shoot helps you feel so confident in your own skin. The photos have always turned out great, even before any editing. Definitely want to reach out if you ever need any photos taken (:

REAL WOMEN, REAL BEAUTY - LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I SEE

Boudoir photography is a powerful way to celebrate your unique beauty. I often hear women say, “I would do a boudoir session if I looked like that!”… Let me tell you – YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! The women you see in my photos are not models; they are real, everyday women, just like you and me.

Beauty isn’t just about appearance—it’s a mindset. It’s about having the confidence to embrace your true self, knowing you’re already stunning just as you are.

I truly feel so fortunate to be the one who gets to capture what makes you beautiful, sexy, and powerful. Let me show you what I see, you are nothing short of extraordinary.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

What is boudoir photography?

Boudoir photography is a style of intimate photography that celebrates your beauty, confidence, and individuality. It’s about capturing  your beauty and showcase of who you are in a tasteful and empowering way.

Do I need to have modeling experience?

Not at all! Most of our clients are everyday women with no prior modeling experience. I will  guide you through every pose and ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout your session.

Who will be present during the shoot?

Our sessions are private! We are a female team.  Typically, it’s just you, the makeup artist and me. If you’d like, you can bring a friend for support.

What should I wear?

We recommend choosing outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident—lingerie, bodysuits, robes, or even an oversized sweater are great options. You'll also have full access to our studio wardrobe. Whether you bring a suitcase full of options or arrive empty-handed, we've got you covered. Plus, you'll receive a detailed style guide with outfit suggestions when you book your session. Check out our detailed Wardrobe Guide.

Here are some of my favorite brands:

Do you provide hair and makeup?

Yes! Professional hair and makeup services are included in our Luxury Experience to ensure you look and feel your best.

How do I prepare for my session?

Once you book, we’ll send you a detailed preparation guide. It includes tips on skincare, outfit selection, and what to bring to your session.

Will you help with posing?

Absolutely! I’ll guide you through every pose—just follow my lead. I’ll also help you with facial expressions to ensure you look your best. All you have to do is show up, and I’ll take care of the rest!

What if I feel nervous?

Feeling nervous is completely normal! Many of my clients start out feeling shy but leave feeling confident and empowered. We’ll take our time to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Will my photos be kept private?

Your privacy is our top priority. Your images will never be shared without your explicit written permission.

When will I see my photos?

You’ll view your images immediately after your photo session. I want you to fall in love with the raw, unedited photos first. During this time, you’ll select your favorite images for retouching and choose any prints or products you'd like.

What types of products do you offer?

We offer luxury photo albums, wall art, digital collections, and keepsakes. Most of my products are coming from Italy and are hand-crafted to the highest quality standards.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.

Not at all! Boudoir is for EVERY body. We celebrate all shapes, sizes, and ages. Our goal is to highlight what makes you uniquely beautiful.

Can you edit out scars or stretch marks?

Yes, we offer light retouching to enhance your natural beauty while keeping the final images authentic to you. We will discuss retouching after you have seen your images. 

Can I customize my session?

Absolutely! Whether you want a specific theme, props, or style, we’ll work with you to create a personalized experience.
