Q: The Women that you work with are beautiful. Does Everyone end up looking like that?

The real answer to that is, I don't want you to look like anyone else but you. But honestly, all these women are just women like you and me. I work really hard to pose you in the best way so that you look amazing. You do have to trust me, but I promise I won't let you down. There is nothing like when I show a client the back of my camera for the first time. Most women are so surprised and say something like "Oh wow! That's me?! I can't believe how good I look!" And yes, darling, you will feel that sense of awe to your core.

Q: I don't know how to pose like the women that you work with, will you help me?

I have a secret to let you in on, I don't expect you to know how to pose at all! That is my job! And I will demonstrate each and every pose, so all you have to do is mirror me. I will tell you what to do with your toes, your hands, where to look, and remind you to breathe. And did you know that most of my clients have never done this before! So I promise you, you're in good hands!

Q: I'm not really comfortable being photographed nude, but I really want to do a boudoir session. Is that ok?

Absolutely! You can feel beautiful and sexy no matter how covered you want to be.

Q: do my images get shared?

It is always up to you! This is a very personal choice and you are in control of what happens with your images. We only share images we have permission to share.

Q: When will I select my favorite images?

At Colleen Michelle Boudoir, we book your Gallery Reveal within the week of your session via zoom. You get to select your favorite images and order your artwork at your reveal.

Q: How much do you edit out?

We want you to look like you. For most clients, I smooth skin a little bit and from there it depends on your preference. We can keep things super natural, or we can go full magazine style retouching. We'll talk about it at your reveal so your images look exactly like you want.

Colleen was absolutely amazing. She showed me exactly how to pose, which was what I was worried about the most! She was a breath of fresh air, and made me feel so confident and beautiful. I was genuinely touched by how kind she was to me. I will absolutely be returning for another session, and would recommend her 100%.

Five stars isn’t nearly enough. This experience exceeded every expectation from beginning to end. Colleen is an exceptional photographer who instantly puts you at ease while making you feel confident, beautiful, and empowered. The experience is thoughtfully curated, and the incredible hair and makeup take it to another level—flawless, professional, and perfectly tailored so you feel radiant while still feeling like yourself. Colleen creates a warm, safe, and encouraging environment where you can fully trust the process, and that trust is reflected in every single image. The photos are absolutely stunning—elegant, powerful, and breathtaking. I left the session feeling amazing and empowered, and seeing the final images was truly unforgettable. If you’re even thinking about booking a boudoir shoot, do not hesitate. This is more than photography—it’s a confidence-boosting, empowering experience. I already can’t wait to do another session.

Stop what you are doing and book a boudoir session with Colleen! She is an absolute Rockstar when it comes to making you feel comfortable in your own skin. If you're hesitant, just reach out to her, she has a way of making you feel welcome and special. If you decide to book a photo shoot with her, you will be so glad you did. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Thank you Colleen for making me feel as beautiful on the outside as I do on the inside.

I was so nervous going into the photo shoot. However, Colleen made it so comfortable and enjoyable that even after the first photo I felt confident. She encouraged me throughout the whole thing. I will 100% be coming back to do it all over again!
