Hi there! I’m Melissa.
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 18 years and have photographed boudoir for over 10!
I absolutely love getting dolled up and pampered. I’m a professional burlesque performer and a body positive activist. I have quite a few tattoos with plans for more. When I'm not shooting you can find me watching trashy TV shows like 90 Day Fiance or hitting the closest thrift store in town!
Interested in getting to know me better?

FAQs
-
I hear you! And you are not alone in feeling this way. Nerves are definitely part of the experience.
I will do everything in my power to help subside those nerves when we get started! Typically by the end of the shoot, your nerves are long gone!
-
All of the photos I provide are edited to soften your skin, remove blemishes, scars, unwanted tattoos, etc.
My motto is that if it won't be there in a week, I'm happy to remove it! I don't do any body altering as I believe our bodies are beautiful but I will absolutely pose you in positions that are most flattering to your favorite parts!
-
I'm happy to help you pick out outfits or even send you suggestions! I recommend wearing something that makes you feel sexy and confident. That could be a hot dress or even your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans! This is all about you! I'm even happy to shoot nudes or implied nudes of you upon request.
If you are gifting these images to someone, you can think about bringing something of meaning to them - a favorite shirt, sports jersey, a trophy - anything you would like!
-
I prefer that you come alone to avoid any distractions. I really take the time to connect with each of my clients on a personal level and that is much harder with a 3rd person in the room!
-
Absolutely. You are not required to use my favorite artist. But I highly recommend getting professional services done as part of the experience!
-
In a private boudoir studio in San Diego County, I have several options depending on where you are located. The rental fees are all included in your boudoir package, so no stress necessary.
-
Only with your permission. We can have a conversation about your willingness to let me share the images but if you prefer to keep them private, I have no problem respecting that.
-
You provide all your own outfits and props! I have a bed, clean sheets, and furniture in the studio.
-
Heck yes! Inquire within!
