Boudoir & Intimate PORTRAITURE PACKAGES
Boudoir, or Intimate Portraiture, is a deeply personal experience. When you have a boudoir session, you are diving into yourself, into the most vulnerable and untapped parts, and bringing them outward to a place of confidence and self-love. Every woman has a story. Your story is raw and real, and deserves to be told.
Your story is of the utmost importance to me, and my mission as a boudoir photographer is to ensure the highest level of confidence in you. I seek to provide a safe, comfortable and comforting environment, where I will both nurture and protect your heart as you tell your story through my lens.
When you are with me for intimate portraiture, I want you to feel as beautiful and powerful as you are. This is not a session just to be sexy for another person - this is a session where you will harness your strength as a woman and foster it in a display of confidence and sophistication. When you leave your session, I want you to feel simultaneously empowered and elegant, sensual and self-loved. My goal is to guide you into a deep self-expression and capture the most intimate and beautiful parts of yourself.
THE CHRISSY MARIE PHOTO CO Boudoir MISSION
Meant to celebrate how a woman’s body creates and sustains life, as well as the the strong personal and unique bond between mother and child, these sessions take a unique and deeply intimate approach to the bond between mother and child.
These are meant for mothers of all phases, from expecting to experienced. Motherhood is such an important time of rebirth for you, mama. As mothers, we give our whole hearts to our children and they become our world. This session is a moment in time to stop and really take in all you are, how you grew life and how you have grown yourself through the beautiful miracle of pregnancy and birth. It will hold opportunities to show your glowing skin and emphasize your life-giving body. For mother and child sessions, you will have much opportunity for skin-to-skin contact through sweet moments of cuddles, kisses, and breastfeeding.
During a motherhood session, my goal is for you to feel the powerful being that you are, and at the same time uncover the tenderness you have as a mother. Motherhood is a wild range of emotions. As moms and expecting moms, we are always pulled in two different directions at the same time - providing for our children while taking care of ourselves, helping our children to find who they are while rediscovering ourselves, feeling pure joy at who you and your child are now, while missing who they were and wishing for so much for the future.
I can’t wait to capture of the beauty of your motherhood journey as you emrace the new mother and woman you are growing into every day.
Intimate Motherhood

My boudoir photography will be entirely centered around each woman as a personal inward journey of self-expression. My goal is to empower women to rediscover their confidence and strength. I will involve you every step of the way to ensure you feel comfortable and safe. This experience is all about you, where together we discover new ways for you to find love in yourself. Traditional boudoir has a heavy focus on overt sexuality, and while your sexuality will be a part of this process, the focus is much greater, expressed through intimate portraiture in an artful, classy yet powerful way.
Please inquire at this time. My private in-home intimate portrait studio is set to open in the fall. I am booking in advance and am anticipating a wait list. I will be having a call with every woman who books with me. Our initial call will be a sort of self-exploration to go over what your goals are and what you hope to get out of this session. I will prepare a customized package for each person until my formal standard packages are available. Once you have your session, we will share a review of your photos during a gallery reveal where you will select your photos. Final album delivery will be approximately six weeks from your session date.
With a heavy emphasis on self-expression and true, raw, authentic reflection, I strongly suggest taking the time to think about and discuss with me what you want to take away from this session. I will walk you through all of the ways to reflect about your body. I will help you choose clothing items that feel flattering to you and we will work in-session to find ways to express the best parts of yourself. Editing is a long process and ensures that I am bringing out the best in you. While I do ensure that you receive the highest quality photos, I encourage you to consider that I will not provide *heavy* body modifications. We can discuss further what this means to you on a personal level all throughout your process.
Boudoir and intimate portraiture is intricately intertwined with motherhood. Think about all that a woman’s body does during pregnancy. It is a wonder that should be celebrated always, and that extends to the bond between mother and child. Intimate motherhood sessions are intended to truly dive into and capture the love that mother and child have between each other. This may include a session that is restful, playful or both. It may involve breastfeeding, bathing, and any loving touch that involves the incredibly important skin-to-skin connection that is unique to mother and child.
