When Carmen booked her session, she didn’t know exactly what she needed—only that she was ready to reclaim a part of herself.
“I wasn’t entirely sure what my vision was going into my shoot outside of getting out of my comfort zone.”
This is exactly what makes Detroit boudoir photography such a powerful experience. Whether you’re crystal clear on your vision or simply know you need something to shift, this space is designed to hold you.
What started as a gift quickly became a soul call.
“Initially I planned it as a gift, but realized I mentally needed it for me and all the chaos going on in my life.”
Carmen’s story is one I hear often—women booking their boudoir sessions thinking they’re just doing something fun or sexy, only to find that this experience becomes part of their healing. Her session became a mirror. A soft landing. A reclamation.
The Power of Prep + Presence
Carmen made space for connection before her session with a bodywork add-on, something I offer to help clients settle into their bodies before stepping in front of the camera. The result? Pure ease.
“Make sure to book with the combine session to have time with Kelsey beforehand. The time I spent with her prior to my shoot was unexplainable. I was so much more relaxed and ready to just flow with whatever came across mine or Magan’s mind.”
A Vibe That Feels Like Home
“Magan makes things so chill! It gives the vibes of that best friend you can pick up with wherever you left off even if you haven’t spoke in months! The whole thing is just relaxing and inviting to just be yourself.”
Creating a safe, warm, and judgment-free space is the entire heart of my Detroit boudoir studio. My goal isn’t just to take sexy pictures—it’s to make you feel held, seen, and powerful.
Seeing Herself in a New Way
“So much more comfortable in my own body. I don’t feel like I have to meet this image I’ve always had in my mind of what I wanted to be, I feel like I can just be comfortable with me.”
This is what the right boudoir session can unlock. It’s not about becoming someone else—it’s about finally seeing and accepting the woman you already are.
“I’m not afraid to be open and don’t feel like I have to hide anymore.”
She walked out of her session not only excited to schedule her next one (!!!), but feeling so at home in her own skin.
“So excited to see the final photos and debating on when I wanted to schedule another one!”
If You’re On the Fence…
“Just do it, even if you’re on the fence.”
You don’t need to wait until you’ve reached some made-up goal. You don’t need to feel 100% confident or have it all figured out. You’re allowed to show up as you are—chaos and all—and be met with love.
Carmen did. And now she’s got powerful reminders of her softness and strength captured forever.
