WELCOME TO A NEW CHAPTER OF SELF-CONFIDENCE

If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re ready to rediscover the powerful, confident, and sexy woman within you—the one who may have gotten lost in the hustle and bustle of life.

A boudoir experience is a brave leap into embracing your most empowered, sensual, and radiant self. Whether you’re looking to reignite your spark and see yourself as never seen before, or you want to create an irresistible and  “yummy” gift for your partner, you are stepping into a world where you can be unapologetically you.

Welcome

Let’s embark on this extraordinary adventure together!

ST. LOUIS BOUDOIR PORTFOLIO

“DANI MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE & CONFIDENT.”

A boudoir photo shoot was very much outside of my comfort zone, as I usually feel awkward in front of a camera. Dani made me feel so comfortable and confident during our session, it absolutely shows in the final photos and I am in LOVE with how they turned out!

SEE THE TRANSFORMATION

BEFORE & AFTER

I bet you’re thinking: “These women look stunning. They must be models, posing for fashion photographers every weekend. They’re not the typical women you bump into at the grocery store.”​

But what if you’re wrong? Well, you’re actually half-right and half-wrong. These women are absolutely gorgeous, and that’s a fact.

These are 100% everyday women.  These are wives, mothers, grandmothers, and so much more! These fabulous and strong women are your local PTA Moms, nurses, lawyers, doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, etc; These women indulged in something far beyond just a manicure or makeover.

Are you still thinking: “This is only for women who look like they belong in a magazine”?

Oh, do we have a surprise for you! “After you are done with makeup and hairstyling on your session and come in front of the camera dressed in your dream outfit, YOU will feel like you are part of a magazine-style photoshoot. It is empowering. And it feels fabulous!

An empowered woman IS and FEELS beautiful!

“MY BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE WAS EMPOWERING AND FUN!”

“Danijela made me feel so confident, sexy, and sophisticated. It helped me have a better appreciation of my changing body that I was extremely self-conscious about!”
