Compersion Boudoir "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." - Coco Chanel

A Few Words On Compersion

In its simplest form, compersion can be described as witnessing another's joy and experiencing your own joy in response. Happiness from someone else's happiness.

As an ever evolving niche, boudoir is described as a photographic style featuring intimate, sensual, romantic, and sometimes erotic images of subjects in a studio, bedroom or private dressing room environment. Once upon a time these photos were primarily intended for the private enjoyment of the subject and his or her romantic partners, but as we learn to take pride in our appearance and not be ashamed of our sexuality it is increasingly popular to share these photos with the world. It is distinct from glamour and art nude photography in that it is usually more suggestive rather than explicit in its approach to nudity and sexuality, however, the lines of the three styles have been known to blur together at times.

Whether your intent is to create an intimate album only to gift to a partner, to celebrate your beauty for yourself, or for all the world to see, we are happy to help make your vision a reality.

Let's get this party started.

We are thrilled that you are taking the first steps toward booking a boudoir session with us! Think of this as a gift for yourself - even if you're also gifting your final product to others. Our highest hope is to create an album, print box, or possibly both, that you can look at through the years to remember your experience and just how remarkable it made you feel. At every shoot we strive to provide a healthy mix of timeless and tasteful images with a few salacious, possibly unexpected, photos sprinkled in as well.

Let's Get Personal.

There are so many different ways to personalize your boudoir session. Whether you are interested in your own individual empowerment shoot, a sensual session with your significant other, memorable moments with your polycule, or a boudoir slumber party where you and all of your best friends have a blast, we have the knowledge and heart to show you a wonderful time and capture your gorgeous countenance in the process.

You'll find more information on our Boudoir Packages and Pricing on the next few pages. Once we have decided on a date and time, finalized the location, set up your perfect package, and you've paid your session deposit, you're officially in the books and we can get on to the fun part.

We'll take a look at Session Types first and then you'll find my Package Collection Menu after those.

Date and Time

Weekends tend to work best for most people. Weekends between 10am and 6pm are normally the best for us. If that doesn't work for you, we can absolutely work something out for a different day and time.

Location, Location, Location...

The majority of our boudoir clients come to us. We are fortunate to have a beautiful Gothic Victorian home in a small, centrally-located town in West Michigan. Our studio space is modest but fun to shoot in. Often times we actually bring clients to other parts of the house to shoot as well.

Other location options are also available upon request.

  • We have access to a few different nonpublic scenic locations if you enjoy the naturalist lifestyle.
  • There is a secret dungeon available for our clients that would like a more kink-friendly photo session.
  • We are always happy for the opportunity to reserve an upscale hotel room. White linens can be very versatile. This does cost extra.
  • Another request we often hear is from couples with busy lives. Yes. We can absolutely travel to your location for the convenience of your own home. In this case, we ask you to please clear away objects such as alarm clocks and other distracting bedside table items. Think minimalist. Any location more than 50 miles from Allegan will require an additional travel fee.

Packages & Pricing

Your session fee is a non-refundable retainer and is due upon booking.

The remainder of your collection payment is due the day of your shoot.

We are proud to offer payment plans to make boudoir accessible to everyone.
