Luxe vs. Petite: Which Experience is Calling You?
Not all transformations whisper — some roar.
Some bloom quietly, others arrive in full regalia.
In my studio, every session is crafted with intention. But depending on the kind of magic you’re craving, you may be wondering:
Should I book a Luxe Collection or a Petite Session?
Let’s peel back the layers, shall we?
Boudoir Is for Every Body, Every Gender, Every Story
At Ash & Thistle, we hold sacred space for trans clients, nonbinary clients, and gender-expansive humans to show up exactly as they are—messy, magical, powerful, soft. Boudoir is an experience of embodiment, and everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in art.
Why Men Deserve a Boudoir Experience Too
At Ash & Thistle, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen. To feel celebrated. To take up space in front of the lens, not as a performance, but as a presence.
So yes, men belong here too. Because confidence doesn’t belong to one gender—and neither does art.
The Boudoir Scholarship from Ash & Thistle
The Boudoir Scholarship from Ash & Thistle I met with my financial team and we’ve allotted a percentage of our 2024 sales thus far into a SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
this means that I have an account I am now applying towards YOUR SESSION.
If you’ve been dreaming of a luxury boudoir session but it hasn’t been in the budget, this is my way of giving back to you.
With so much gratitude I’m so happy to announce that scholarship applications are OPEN!
Applications will be accepted on a first come first serve basis and are open until May 12th.
*note- this does not mean the session is free- it is still a luxury investment but it will be heavily discounted due to the scholarship fund.
