Xoxo, Betsy
After losing my husband in 2016, I had my own boudoir session for the first time.
It cracked me wide open and helped me along the path to reclaim myself when I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror.
That moment changed everything.
Now, I create that same life-changing experience for women ready to remember who they really are.
This isn’t your mama’s boudoir.
There’s nothing basic, cheesy, or one-size-fits-all about what happens here.
You’re not just taking photos.
You’re stepping into an experience designed to wake something up in you.

It's the kind of confidence lives in your bones and shows up in your life long after you leave the studio.
Forget stiff poses and forced smiles.
It’s not about body parts without meaning.
This is about feeling What lives beneath the surface.
Soul-deep, unfiltered, and fully alive.

What My Editorial Boudoir Really Is
Through movement, breath, and presence, we tap into what’s real and already inside you.
My editorial approach goes far beyond lingerie and forced “sexy.”
These aren’t poses you perform. This is about genuine emotions you embody. You won’t be molded into someone else’s version of confidence.
I guide you back to your truth that already lives within you.
Through intuitive coaching, breathwork, and expressive movement, we reveal the parts of you that may have been quiet for too long.
The result isn’t surface-level swagger.
It’s a deeper knowing.
Revelation & Witnessing
Expression & Embodiment
Intention &
Vision
We begin by uncovering your story and your “why” in a soul-level conversation that focuses on how you want to feel and see in yourself, not just how you want to look.
Together, we craft a vision that honors who you are right now and the woman you’re becoming.
The Experience: THREE Chapters of Transformation
Every session unfolds like a story told in three chapters.
Each one builds on the LAST, guiding you deeper into presence, emotion, and self-trust.
Awareness begins
Through grounding breathwork and intuitive movement, I guide you out of your head and into your body.
This isn’t about posing—it’s about presence. Inside my judgment-free studio, the masks fall and your true self takes center stage as we work through a spectrum of emotive expression and movement.
Truth takes shape
I curate the most powerful, emotionally honest images that tell your story with truth and artistry.
At your reveal, you’ll see yourself with new eyes. This isn’t just a random set of photos, it’s a mirror to your evolution. It's the moment you see what everyone else has always seen in you.
Reflection meets recognition
view my portfolio
When a woman meets her own reflection and finally recognizes the power that’s always been there.
The portraits you see here aren’t just photographs—they’re visual echoes of this process in real women's lives.
This work lives at the intersection of art and transformation.
But what truly matters is how it feels when
my unique framework is the creative backbone of how we bring your story to life
We start by uncovering your story. What lights you up, what you’ve lived through, and what you’re ready to step into next.
Together, we shape the tone, mood, and artistic direction of your session so it reflects you: editorial, fine art, boudoir, or a blend of all three.

The Reveal
& Emotional Integration
When you see your images for the first time, it’s not just a reveal—it’s a reckoning.
The woman you felt in that room meets your gaze, and together we curate her story frame by frame.
Your story becomes something you can hold—handcrafted albums, fine art prints, and heirlooms designed to bring you back to yourself again and again.
These are more than images; they’re visual proof of your evolution.

It’s truth in motion —

For many women coming from Lansing, privacy matters just as much as the images themselves.
This experience is designed to feel calm, contained, and unpressured — with clear guidance, emotional safety, and zero expectation to perform. You don’t need to show up confident. You just need to show up willing.
The studio environment offers a quiet step outside the demands of daily life — space to slow down, reconnect, and explore self-expression without distraction. Sometimes, distance creates clarity. For many, the drive becomes part of the transition — a moment to decompress and step fully into an experience that is entirely your own.

You’d rather stay in negative self-talk than exploring what you could happen if you loved yourself more.
You want heavily posed, overly retouched, or cookie-cutter imagery that hides the real you.
You’re not ready to slow down, reflect, or be emotionally present for yourself.
You’re looking for quick, transactional photos instead of an intimate, intentional experience.
This is NOT for you if
You’re open to being guided, supported, and creatively stretched in the process.
You want images that mean something—art that captures your story, not just your appearance.
You value depth, emotion, and authenticity more than surface-level perfection.
You’re ready to see yourself through new eyes—and finally feel the confidence and self-trust you’ve been craving.
This IS for you if
You’re ready to invest in yourself and create something that will remind you who the hell you are.
You’re not open to being part of a creative collaboration built on trust and vulnerability.
My clients love lots of photos!
