When Katrina first reached out to book her boudoir session with me, a Northern California boudoir photographer based in Pleasanton, she shared what so many women do: she was a little nervous, a little excited—and ready to do something just for herself.
She knew this was a boudoir session, but when she walked in with a stunning cocktail dress, I knew we were about to create something extra special. That’s one of my favorite things about being a boudoir photographer in Northern California—no two sessions are ever the same. Katrina brought elegance, confidence, and her own unique vibe, and we mixed a little editorial edge with the classic, sexy boudoir energy she came for.
We started with some of my signature boudoir setups—soft natural light, moody shadows, and intimate, body-loving poses that highlight every curve. But when Katrina stepped into that cocktail dress, everything shifted. She lit up from the inside out. And it was the perfect opportunity to blend sexy portraiture with timeless boudoir, something I love offering my clients in Northern California.
That’s what boudoir is all about—capturing your essence, in whatever way feels most you. Whether you’re in lingerie, a dress, or absolutely nothing, the goal is the same: to help you feel powerful, beautiful, and connected to yourself.
Katrina’s images were bold, feminine, radiant—and the best part? She left feeling more confident than she had in years. She told me afterward that it felt like she had reclaimed something inside herself. That’s what this work is all about.
I have been a long time IG follower of Heather’s and I finally had the opportunity to be photographed by her! Sooooo grateful I did!
You will get the most gorgeous, timeless boudoir photos, but it’s more than that. This experience is a game changer for your self-esteem! Heather is so incredibly talented at not only capturing the beauty that is already yours but creating a safe space for you to get acquainted with it.
When we first started the shoot, Heather lightheartedly expressed that she would be giving so much direction and encouragement that there would be no time for me to listen to any insecurities, and she was right! She felt like my advocate the entire time.
I highly recommend this experience with Heather because to see your authentic self like this truly is such a gift–and yes, you absolutely deserve it!!
