San Francisco Bay Area Couple’s Boudoir photographer. Heather Elizabeth Intimate Portrait studio in Hayward, California

In this case, I can choose to believe that maybe the message that I was initially trying to project wasn’t what people needed to hear right now, so the universe scrapped that shit. Maybe what everyone needs to hear right now is that even though everything is chaos, and nothing is working out the way […]

When clients book a session with me, I send them a full self-care guide so they can start pampering themselves weeks before their session. Facials, yoga stretches, nutrition, outfits… all the things you need to feel your best in your boudoir session. However what I also tell them after they have fallen in love with […]

Life doesn’t teach you the lessons you need to learn through softness. It’s not the moments of pure joy that create who we are, but the dark, grueling moments of pain. When I lost my home in a house fire on November 8th, it was really hard to not just feel sorry for myself and […]

Shaela won a boudoir session with me through a contest I was running a few years back. I guess she enjoyed the prize because when she saw that I moved into the new studio space she booked herself another session! One time wasn’t enough and that’s the attitude that I like. Too many people see […]

Every time you are sharing your presence with someone you know damn well is awful for you.  Every single time you punish yourself for having the appetite of eating things you […]

Ever feel like the entire Universe was connecting you with someone. Like you were destined to meet? I feel that way about Lizzie. When she reached out to me about wanting to do a boudoir session to prove to herself and other women of her age that sexiness and self-love isn’t something that you give […]

We are brought into this world loving ourselves. Babies can’t do anything but love. No child is brought into this world programmed to hate everything about themselves. That programing starts attacking our sweet brains so quickly though. We watch our mothers talk about how “fat” and “old” they are getting. We watch them compare themselves […]

Couple’s boudoir is something that breaks down walls between couples. I get to see their nerves fade, and their connection becomes their focus. It’s an empowering experience for both parties. Jason and Terese came into the studio both excited. Jason excited and nervous, Terese just excited. With coaching though I watched as these two melted […]
