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.
