It's like walking into a safe sexy space to be yourself, or any version of yourself you want to be. She's relatable, caring, and most of all fun. I had just a blast being there, and an even bigger blast seeing the photos she took, I was absolutely astounded by the composition she captures and the movement of her photos. It's one thing to see a photo of yourself, but another to have a whole new perspective on how to see yourself, that to me is absolutely priceless and an experience I can only wish that everyone chooses to go on. Thank you so much Magan, you're an absolute gem of a human being!

Honestly cannot rave enough about how amazing Magan and her whole studio/vibe/expertise is.

From the first consultation phone call to the day of my shoot Magan was so easy to work with. It felt like we had been friends forever. She coached me with every text or call I made and gave advice when needed. They day of my shoot whatever nerves I had were gone as soon as I walked in her studio. The vibe was perfect and we danced and laughed the whole time. But as much fun as I had the pictures are amazing, professional and most importantly she captured the theme I was trying to achieve. I will always be proud of myself for checking that off my bucket list and grateful that I found the right photographer who truly understood and supported me. I loved it so much I went back for a second shoot. All I can say is you absolutely get what you pay for. Magan is gifted, creative and genuine. 5 stars is not enough!

It felt like we had been friends forever.

Can I give more stars?! Magan is an absolute phenomenal photographer! I was nervous and thought I’d be so uncomfortable practically nude in front of a stranger. She does everything to make you feel safe, empowered and gorgeous. She also makes sure you have a fun time! The end result? The most beautiful pictures of myself I have ever seen. I had this photo session done as a gift for my husband’s birthday and he said it’s the best gift he has ever received.

100/10 will recommend!

Magan is absolutely amazing and her work is incredible! Highly recommend as a photographer. Very accommodating and one of the most down to earth persons I’ve ever met. Not once did I feel awkward or uncomfortable and by the time we were done I felt like I was working with a friend.

I reached out to Magan for work related purposes. She was immediately responsive and flexible. But most importantly, she was open and kind to me and my line of work. My experience was anything but boring. Magan was professional, fun, and has great taste in music. Our session was productive and an incredible time. And the photos I received are absolutely stunning! She knew just how to capture me in her work and I won't stop showing off my photos to anyone who asks. I will be returning when I'm able and highly recommend her for boudoir services. Trust me, you will feel incredible about yourself!

This whole experience was so expansive. I've been in a wheelchair for 15 years and these photos were the first time I saw myself in my chair FEELING and looking SO SEXY. Magan was so accessible and supportive throughout the whole process! She was so fun to work with and has a BEAUTIFUL take on photography

I literally had a blast. She made me feel so welcomed and so comfortable she assisted with poses she made me feel beautiful, even when I felt really insecure about what my photos were gonna look like and when she showed me, she took the time to go in between and show me what they look like after I was posed and after that I was just comfortable in my own skin. She’s a beautiful soul and she’s a whole ass vibe. I love that she relates to her clients by talking to them and having conversation and I love how real she keeps the dynamic what a beautiful lady and she does amazing with her work. I would 100% do it again!

She’s a beautiful soul and she’s a whole ass vibe.

What Makes My Boudoir Photography Different

This isn’t about capturing pretty photos.
It’s about creating an experience where you feel safe enough to soften.

Boudoir here isn’t performative. You don’t have to show up confident, polished, or fearless. You’re allowed to arrive exactly as you are; curious, nervous, tender, unsure, powerful, quiet, loud… all of it.

This work is slow. Intentional. Human.

At my Ferndale boudoir studio, everything is designed to help your nervous system settle  from the pacing of the session, to how I guide you, to the way your story is photographed. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced. Consent, comfort, and trust lead every moment.

Whether this session marks a birthday, a turning point, a reclamation, or simply a desire to see yourself differently. This is a space where you’re met with presence, not pressure.

You don’t have to know what you’ll feel when you book.
You’ll discover it as we move together.

Most clients don’t book because they feel ready, they book because they feel safe enough to take the leap.

✨ Boudoir FAQ – Let’s Get Real for a Second

You don’t need to feel confident to book a boudoir session.
You just need to feel curious enough to start.

Most of the people you see in my portfolio arrived feeling nervous, unsure, or quietly terrified. That doesn’t disqualify you,  it actually makes you perfect for this work.

This experience isn’t about performing or becoming someone else.
It’s about being met where you are, and letting that be enough.

Do you photograph all bodies, identities, and experiences?
Yes. Fully. Without conditions.
You don’t need to change your body, your story, or your energy to belong here. This space is intentionally inclusive, affirming, and rooted in respect. You arrive as you are — and that version of you is already worthy of being seen.

What’s included in a luxury boudoir experience?
Care. Time. Presence.
From professional hair and makeup to thoughtful pacing, and same-day image viewing; everything is designed so you feel supported, unrushed, and deeply supported.
There’s no pressure to perform. No expectation to know how to pose. I’ll guide you every step of the way, while leaving space for your own expression to emerge naturally.

What if I’m awkward / nervous / not photogenic?
That’s not a problem; it’s literally my job.

You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your body. I’ll direct you with clarity and encouragement the entire time, adjusting the session to you, not the other way around.

You’ll never be asked to push past your comfort just to get a photo.

And yes — you’re going to look incredible.
But more importantly, you’re going to feel safe.

begin YOUR boudoir experience

Whether you’re in Detroit, Ann Arbor, or anywhere in Michigan.
This experience is here when you’re ready to step toward yourself,  not away from her.
Everyone you see here began exactly where you are now: curious, hesitant, feeling the pull even when the timing wasn’t perfect.
You don’t need confidence first.
You don’t need it all figured out.

Just a willingness to begin.

This is where safety, artistry, and intention meet.  And where you’re guided with care, clarity, and zero pressure.
