Hello Gorgeous
It’s so much more than a photoshoot.
Boudoir photography is defined as the capturing of images of a woman in an intimate environment, like a bedroom. However, a boudoir photoshoot is so much more than that. It’s the opportunity to remind yourself that you are beautiful, fearless, and capable of doing amazing things. It’s the opportunity to see yourself in a new way. To embrace and celebrate all of you. Right now. NO conditions.
WHY BOUDOIR
IS THIS FOR ME?
FOR MOTHERS, SINGLE WOMEN, WIVES, TEACHERS, BRIDES, STAY-AT-HOME MOMS, LAWYERS, SURVIVORS, FOR EVERY WOMAN
A boudoir session is for EVERY woman. This is a fully coached experience and NOT a photoshoot for models. You don't need to know how to pose or how to prepare for this experience. We'll guide you every step of the way from helping you choose your wardrobe, to tips on how to prepare, we'll take care of your hair and makeup, then guide you through the entire session.

OUR WORK
WHO WE ARE
Mya
Owner and Boudoir Photographer
Hey gorgeous! My name is Mya, mother of three girls and two spoiled dogs. I’ve been a full-time boudoir photographer since 2011. My goal is to make your experience stress-free and FUN. I’ll not only be your photographer, but your posing coach and biggest cheerleader, as well!
For the past 10 years, I’ve photographed incredible women of all ages—many who return annually for more sessions. My clients are kind and strong. They’re survivors, givers, mothers, wives. Sometimes they’re too busy to take care of themselves. With my studio work, I help them embrace their unique beauty and sexiness and show them they’re just as beautiful on the outside. I truly believe that beauty comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes. More importantly, though our beauty transforms throughout the years, it is NEVER lost.
My husband, Hector, is the studio co-owner, photo editor, and business manager. He’s my biggest supporter and takes care of all the business shenanigans so that I can fully dedicate my time to all my clients.
I have the best job in the world and I’m honored when my clients choose me for this amazing experience and journey. I can’t wait to meet you!

FAQ'S + ANSWERS
🌚WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Our 2,400 private studio is located in Groveland, Florida. Groveland is an Orlando suburb located in South Lake County next to Clermont. We are approximately 25 minutes from Winter Garden/Windermere area, about 45 minutes from most Orlando areas, and a little over an hour from Tampa. However, our clients come from all over Florida and even out of State!
🌚ARE HAIR AND MAKEUP INCLUDED?
Absolutely! Before your shoot begins, you will get to relax in our makeover suite, enjoy some champagne and just let us do the work! Scroll down the page to read everything that your shoot includes.
🌚ARE PHOTOS INCLUDED WITH MY SITTING FEE?
Photos are NOT included with our sitting fee. They are sold separately the day of the session. We sell fully edited high resolution digital images with print permission @$125 each. There is a 3-photo minimum purchase required. Complimentary prints are included with your digital image purchase and a complimentary album is included when you purchase 10 photos or more.
🌚IS THERE AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR THE WINGS/TUB/SHOWER SETS?
Nope. I know other studios include those only for their highest paying clients, but we strongly believe that ALL of our clients deserve a full luxury experience regardless of their budget. If you want a milk/bubble bath, shower set, or our runway wings as part of your looks, please let us know ahead of time so that we can prep the area accordingly.
🌚CAN I COMBINE BOTH BOUDOIR AND PINUP ON A SINGLE SESSION?
No sorry. Boudoir and pinup sessions required completely different styling and studio prep. However, you may choose lingerie as one (or all) of your looks with a pinup session. Just make sure your lingerie matches the era correctly or the styling will look completely off.
🌚WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
When you finally book an appointment, you will receive a list of suggestions of what to bring. We also have a studio closet full of options. If shopping for lingerie makes you nervous, you don’t need lingerie to look awesome and sexy in your photos! There are plenty of other options. You will receive details after you book your appointment.
🌚WILL MY PHOTOS BE ONLINE?
Nope. We respect your privacy and never share photos without written permission. The ladies you see on our website gave us their written consent to share their images.
🌚CAN I BRING A FRIEND/SIGNIFICANT OTHER WITH ME?
No, sorry. You might think a friend will help you feel at ease but it actually does the opposite. It is important to create a connection of trust and guidance with your photographer. When a friend is present, the client tends to look for advice and approval from the friend, instead of the experienced photographer who is the only person that can coach you properly.
🌚I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO POSE. CAN YOU HELP ME?
Of course girl! Don’t worry about posing. That’s our job! From facial expressions to body posture, you will be guided down to your fingertips on how to look your best.
🌚WHAT’S THE TURN-AROUND TO RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
If you have a last minute deadline coming up, contact our studio as soon as you book your appointment to make sure we can make it happen! We can meet deadlines with as little as two weeks, however, usual turn-around is about two months.
🌚HOW LONG DOES EVERYTHING TAKES?
Between your initial consultation, makeover, the session, a lunch break we take while we get your photos ready for viewing, and your ordering session, you can expect to be here for approximately 6 hours total. We suggest you take the day off (and make after-school arrangements if you have children) to fully enjoy your experience.
🌚 DO YOU HAVE AN AGE REQUIREMENT?
Yes. All of our clients must be 21 and over. We only make exception for brides, but they must be over 18 years old.
🌚DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH PREGNANT WOMEN?
Yes, however, keep in mind we do not shoot traditional maternity photos with spouses and children. Your session will be a boudoir session.
🌚HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION?
No worries about that girl! You will receive a detailed prep email after you book your appointment. We promise it will be simple. Our studio motto is not to make you look like someone else, but to make that beautiful sexy you stand out!
"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives."
