The Couture Boudoir® Experience

What Makes the Couture Boudoir Experience Different?

I believe luxury isn’t simply about beautiful surroundings or gorgeous photographs. It’s about feeling genuinely cared for, having every detail thoughtfully considered, and knowing you’re in the hands of someone who wants you to look and feel your absolute best.

When you book with me, you’re not stepping into a one-size-fits-all photo shoot. You’re enjoying an experience designed around you, your personality, your comfort level, and the kind of photographs you’ve always dreamed of having.

I’ll personally guide you through every pose, help you choose flattering outfits, and take the time to create photographs that feel both beautiful and authentically you. I also handle all of your retouching myself, because your privacy and the quality of your finished portraits are incredibly important to me.

Whether you’re creating a romantic gift for someone you love or treating yourself to something extraordinary, I want you to feel that every moment, from beginning to end, was worth celebrating.

“The photos were beyond my expectations.

I cannot say enough positive things about my session. I felt more comfortable doing this session than I do getting company head shots. That is really saying something because I’m normally so modest and never feel confident in my underwear. You made it easy and I’m so thrilled with the pictures! Your work is truly AMAZING.”

Let me tell you a little about me …

I adore photographing women, and I love the uniqueness of every client. I have been shooting boudoir portraits for over 20 years. My job is to capture each woman’s own intimate beauty. My shooting style is editorial with a sensual and sexy flair.

For me, the shoot is about more than just providing high-quality portraits—it is about giving each woman I photograph a priceless look at how beautiful and sexy she is by providing gorgeous images that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Since I am shooting from a female perspective, I know how to make you look your best and most flattering. Women tell me how happy they were to find a female photographer. I only use female assistants/stylists on my boudoir shoots, so you’ll feel comfortable every step of the way. Your boudoir images will be tasteful and gorgeous.

My eye for detail makes my Couture Boudoir® brand stand out. Your session will be unique and above and beyond your expectations. I believe that you are beautiful just how you are right now, and it’s my job to show you exactly what makes you beautiful.

“I cannot thank you enough for my beautiful photos.

I gave the book to Josh on our wedding day and he loved it. He actually mentioned it several times throughout the day and he was like a little kid wanting to look at it when we got to our honeymoon suite that night. He even insisted on bringing it on our honeymoon! To say he is obsessed with it is an understatement. I will send you photos of his face seeing it for the first time when I get them from my wedding photographer. He told me he was completely shocked. I can’t wait to see those photos myself. I also wanted to thank you for making me feel more confident in myself. I read on your site that this makes women feel more empowered and I did not think it could make me feel any different but to my surprise it did. When I look at the photos I see a part of me that Josh sees everyday that I never saw before. I will be forever grateful for that. I think I will do this again when I turn thirty. Thank you!”

For the woman who desires something extraordinary.

You’ve learned what sets a Couture Boudoir® experience apart, and now it’s time to explore the offerings themselves. Each collection has been thoughtfully designed to deliver an elevated, all-inclusive experience—where every detail is handled for you and nothing is overlooked.

Below, you’ll discover the signature experiences so you can choose the one that best reflects your vision. All you have to do is decide how you want to be celebrated.

Some experiences are simply too extraordinary to put into words. Goddess is for the woman who wants it all, an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience where every detail is created around her. Think of it as your very own luxury editorial production, where you’re not just being photographed, you’re the star.

Your experience begins with personalized creative planning and a wardrobe consultation to curate up to eight stunning looks. Your extended session takes place in a gorgeous luxury location selected just for you. My professional hair and makeup artist will give you the full glam treatment and remain throughout your session, making sure every detail is picture-perfect. With plenty of time to enjoy the experience and my personal guidance through every pose, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped onto the set of a high-end fashion campaign.

And because this experience is all about indulging in your every desire, your Goddess Collection includes your choice of up to two exclusive photography enhancements. These specially styled scenes are designed to bring an entirely different look and feeling to your portraits. Imagine yourself surrounded by delicate flowers in a romantic bath, posing beneath cascading water in a sultry shower scene, or baring it all with nothing but a white sheet draped beautifully around you. Each enhancement creates a unique setting for your photographs, adding even more variety, romance, and a touch of fantasy to your experience. It’s another opportunity to explore a different side of yourself, bring your vision to life, and create images that feel uniquely yours.

Your 80 favorite portraits will be transformed into a breathtaking 12×12 custom-designed heirloom album, finished in your choice of luxurious premium leather or fabric and presented in an elegant keepsake box with a personal inscription. This is more than an album. It’s your own beautiful collection of fine art portraits, something you’ll be proud to own, secretly admire, or share with someone very special.

You’ll also receive 80 beautifully retouched digital portraits selected from the images in your album, presented on a USB drive in a keepsake case. Having these digital copies gives you the freedom to create additional albums, order gorgeous wall art, or surprise someone you love with a framed portrait. You can also keep them completely private, ready to revisit whenever you want to remember how incredible you looked and felt.

And perhaps the most exciting part? You’ll star in your very own sultry, cinematic highlight film, inspired by the glamorous, sensual style of a luxury lingerie commercial. Imagine seeing yourself moving beautifully and confidently on film, with gorgeous lighting, flattering angles, and an editorial finish that makes you feel like a supermodel. It’s a sexy, sophisticated keepsake that captures a side of you still photographs simply can’t.

Goddess is for the woman who wants to look back and say, “I can’t believe that’s me!” And then smile because, yes, it absolutely is.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being completely spoiled for a day, this experience was made for you. Magnificent is all about indulgence, glamour, and enjoying every moment of feeling beautiful. It’s your opportunity to step away from your everyday responsibilities and let someone else take care of you for a change.

We’ll begin with a personalized wardrobe consultation to choose up to five stunning looks that make you feel incredible. On the day of your session, my professional hair and makeup artist will create your gorgeous look and remain throughout the shoot for touch-ups, so you’ll feel pampered from beginning to end. I’ll personally guide you through every pose and expression, helping you relax, embrace your sensuality, and enjoy feeling like the beautiful woman you are.

Your 50 favorite portraits will become a gorgeous 10×10 custom-designed heirloom album, beautifully housed in an elegant keepsake box featuring a personal inscription. There’s something incredibly special about holding those portraits in your hands, turning the pages, and seeing yourself looking so confident and beautiful. Whether it’s a romantic surprise for someone you love or something you keep just for yourself, this is a gift that never loses its meaning.

You’ll also receive digital copies of those same 50 beautifully retouched portraits, presented on a USB drive in a keepsake case. These allow you to enjoy your favorites beyond the pages of your album, whether you’re creating additional prints, gifting a special portrait, or keeping your images safely tucked away for your eyes only.

As a beautiful finishing touch, you’ll receive a personalized video highlight reel created from your favorite portraits. Set to music and thoughtfully designed, it brings your images together in a sultry, cinematic presentation that’s perfect for reliving the beauty of your session or sharing privately with someone special.

Because sometimes the greatest luxury is giving yourself permission to be the center of attention and loving every minute of it.

There’s something incredibly romantic about creating a gift that someone will never forget. Whether you’re surprising your husband or partner with beautiful, intimate portraits or treating yourself to an experience you’ve always wanted, Inspire is designed to create memories that mean so much more than photographs.

I could honestly photograph an entire boudoir session with nothing but a sheet! There’s something incredibly sexy about the simplicity of soft fabric against your skin. It can be sweet and romantic, subtly seductive, or downright hot AF! The beauty of my “Between the Sheets” experience is that you get to decide just how much or how little you want to reveal. Whether you prefer a little mystery with beautifully implied nudity or you’re feeling bold enough to bare a little more, we’ll create stunning, sensual portraits that feel completely you. And trust me, sometimes what you don’t show is even sexier than what you do!

This enhancement includes additional photography time and four extra portraits in your album, giving you even more beautiful images to fall in love with.

“What a fabulous EXPERIENCE!

From the first inquiry emails through the shoot and beyond, Critsey is professional and lovely to work with. I was a bundle of nerves the morning of the shoot but once hair and makeup began, all my jitters fell away.

The shoot was fun and so much easier than I had expected. After seeing my beautiful photos, I am beyond happy that I chose Couture Boudoir and would recommend this so highly. I cannot wait to surprise my husband for his birthday! This is one gift that he will definitely NOT be returning!! Thank for everything!!”

Once you reserve your Couture Boudoir® experience, you will receive my exclusive Beauty Guide. This curated resource offers a detailed list of wardrobe suggestions from your own collection, ensuring every piece enhances your session and photographs beautifully. On the day of your shoot, you will receive a personal wardrobe consultation to help refine your looks and bring out your unique style and personality.

The Beauty Guide also includes expert tips on how to prepare for your session, so you arrive feeling confident, radiant, and ready to shine. Every detail is designed to make your experience seamless, luxurious, and unforgettable.

Pose coaching is included in every session, so there’s no need to know a single thing about modeling before you walk through the door. I’ll guide you through every movement from the tilt of your chin to the arch of your back so you always know exactly what to do. You’ll never be left wondering how to stand, where to place your hands, or how to create those stunning lines you see in my portfolio.

And just a little warning: once you experience this level of direction, pampering, and confidence, you won’t walk out the same. Most clients leave feeling like a supermodel, wondering why they ever doubted themselves in the first place. The transformation is real—and it shows in every image.

“My whole experience was incredible, I was very nervous and intimidated but Critsey made me feel comfortable right from the very beginning when we meet for my session. The quality of the album is amazing and very tasteful. Thank you so much!”
~Carolina

“You exceeded my expectations TENFOLD.

You are such an artist. I knew the pictures would be pretty but hot damn!! They are breathtaking, stunning, absolutely amazing!! I guess this sounds super vain since they are pictures of me, I know you get what I am saying.

I am sure I drove you crazy with all my questions and I am so grateful for all the time you took to answer them. It really helped me feel more at ease to do the session. I will tell all my friends about you. I can’t wait to share my album with Steven. Thank you for making me feel beautiful and more alive than I have ever felt.”
