Why choose Ash and Thistle Boudoir
At Ash & Thistle Artistry, boudoir isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s an initiation. A reclamation. A love letter to the body you wake up in. Whether you’re stepping into a solo boudoir session, entwining yourselves for couples boudoir, or unleashing your inner mythic creature in a fantasy session, this experience is designed to go far beyond “pretty pictures.” It becomes a turning point.
Below are five reasons why clients from all walks of life choose Ash & Thistle Artistry, and why this may be the safest, easiest, and most empowering investment you make for yourself.
ONE – More Than Just Pretty Photos
Let’s tell the truth: anyone with a camera can take an okay, standard photo in decent lighting. But this? This is a luxury, heart-forward, body-aware experience curated with intention.
No stiff, awkward poses. No “just stand there and smile.”
I guide every angle, every breath, every subtle curve of your fingertips so your photos don’t just look beautiful, they feel like you at your most luminous.
This is where artistry meets embodiment, and the result is a gallery filled with emotion-rich images that still feel like you… but elevated.
TWO – Confidence, Liberation & Empowerment
An experience in our Ohio studio is sacred work.
It’s the exhale after holding yourself small.
It’s the moment you take your power back, not because anyone gives it to you, but because you finally decide you’re done apologizing for how extraordinary you are.
Every session is engineered to build confidence, support self-liberation, and create a space where you’re safe to unravel, rebuild, and rise. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, healing after heartbreak, exploring your sensuality, or simply craving a revolution of self-love, this is where transformation begins.
THREE – Same-Day Image Reveal
No guessing. No two-week purgatory.
You see your images the same day, fully guided, celebrated, and supported.
You choose your favorites right after your session and receive your digital images within 48 hours.
Your printed artwork?
Crafted and ready in 5–20 days.
Fast. Luxurious. Made to last.
FOUR – Bespoke, Heirloom-Quality Products
Your images deserve to live somewhere better than a phone screen.
That’s why I offer fully customizable luxury albums with:
Over 40 cover materials
Thick, UV-protected pages
A 100-year heirloom guarantee (200 years if stored in a dark room)
These albums aren’t just products, they’re artifacts of your self-celebration, built to outlive you in the most beautiful way.
FIVE – The Afterglow Experience
Some photographers want you dependent on them.
I want you empowered without me.
Your transformation doesn’t evaporate when the session ends, it deepens. You leave with tools, support, and community so the confidence you found here becomes a daily practice, not a fleeting moment.

Time for a short story about my personal insecurities and how I became the ultimate intimate (boudoir) photographer aka the queen of pro selfies. A post came up in our community about flashing people. This is something I have never done in my life.
