You’ll turn out ordinary if you’re not careful.

Welcome, friend!

It’s so nice to meet you. Let me guess why you’re here: you’re tired of taking a backseat in your life, tired of being everything for everyone else while putting yourself last.

Or maybe you’re looking into doing a boudoir session as a gift for your love (but let’s be honest, you know you’re going to get a lot out of your photoshoot, too).

Whatever your reason, I am so glad you’re here because it’s time for you to feel and know you are beautiful. You deserve to memorialize this moment in time.

Boudoir sessions are never just pretty pictures of yourself… they are so much more than that. Welcome to your own personal renaissance.

I created this guide to walk you through the boudoir experience with me, from our first chat to the moment you are holding bespoke printed artwork in your hands. I know you’re going to see yourself in a wholly new and different light—one that celebrates your journey to this moment and honors who you’ve become.

“Where are you located?”

Our studio is located near World Golf Village in Saint Augustine, Florida and was custom-designed and built with our lovely clients like you in mind! It boasts huge 15′ ceilings, large windows in the rear overlooking a pond, a private changing room, and beautiful, feminine decor that’s an eclectic but tasteful mix of antique, mid-mod, and Baroque.  Simple wood-look flooring leaves a modern finish to the rooms and we get the most beautiful light! Our space is comfortable and inviting, and you’re going to love it!

They did the damn thing.

Why you should invest in a boudoir experience

You deserve to be your own art.

Boudoir portraiture is an art form. Much like the paintings and sculptures of the old masters, you are also beautiful and you deserve timeless preservation.

For centuries, women have been told how to feel, what to wear, and how we should view our own bodies. We are either too skinny, too fat; we eat too much or too little. Brands market clothing to us in sizes designed to evoke emotions that make us addicted to numbers on tags and scales.

This is why I live to serve this genre: to create gorgeous photographs you will value for years. Portraits that inspire your confidence and give you that swagger. These shouldn’t exist on a hard drive or some kind of disc, but in a beautiful album or reveal box that you or your loved one can share and treasure as a gift to yourselves. Women come to my boudoir sessions feeling nervous and leave feeling feminine and empowered.

FRequently asked questions

All your burning questions answered here!​

If you’re like every other woman who has booked a boudoir shoot ever throughout the history of time itself, you have questions.  What should I wear?  Who’s going to photograph me?  Do I need to know how to pose? and the list goes on.

This page addresses all of that and will eventually link to posts that expand on each question.  Have a burning question you don’t see here? Send me an email and find out more information about a boudoir session with us.

Because we live in a world that has told women how we should look, act, and feel. A boudoir session helps reclaim some of what has been taken from us, and allows us to own our beautiful selves. I love being able to give that to other women and help them celebrate their self-love.

The only people who need to know how to pose are professional models.  Your job is to show up and that is it!  My job is to help you feel relaxed and pose you from the tips of your fingers, to your eyelashes, to your hair.  I’ll walk you through each step as I look through my camera to make sure you look beautiful!

I always suggest that my clients bring things they feel absolutely stunning in, whether that is a cute off-shoulder sweater and knee-socks, or stilettos and a teddy, because it is ultimately about how you feel in the clothing you will be wearing. With that said, Supernova Boudoir also has a small, but growing closet you can browse.

Prior to your session, you will be hanging with me, your makeup artist and your hair stylist. After you are done getting glammed up, you will typically only be with me, unless we decide to bring in an assistant for the day, in which case they will always be female and always with your express permission first. Supernova Boudoir’s mission is to maintain client comfort and privacy above all, so you come first.

I work with an amazing team! My primary hair and makeup artist is Maureen from The Parlor. She does fantastic work and you will love getting dolled up by her! In the event that Maureen is not available, I pull from my resources of local professionals who do outstanding work as well.

You know how I mentioned above that client comfort and privacy are super important to me? Who gets to see your photos is entirely up to you. I will always ask you as part of my standard operating procedure, but I will never, ever make you sign a model release. You get to choose which photos make it out into the world, or none at all, because boudoir is a commissioned art that shows intimate parts of you and I want you to be in control of that. Many ladies do opt to share at least a few photos, but it is entirely up to you.

You will see approximately 60-80 original images to choose from to make an order, whether it’s a luxry album or beautiful wall art. However many you decide to purchase is up to you!

First, I delete all the blinks, blurs, and other photographs that aren’t up to my artistic standards. They’ll never see the light of day. You won’t see them, either. The photographs you don’t choose will also eventually be deleted to free up space on the hard drive, and I will store purchased photographs for an undetermined amount of time.

All orders are 100% handmade just for you and may take up to twelve weeks for delivery. This is because I curate from the best labs around the world, so your order might be traveling from Europe! This also allows a buffer in case there is a mistake that needs to be corrected, but if the order is early, rest assured you will get it sooner rather than later. It is well worth the wait, I promise!
