K says:

“Alyssa created one of the best experiences I've ever had and I highly recommend her boudoir service to anyone even thinking about it.

Between the experience itself and the finished product, I could not be happier. Take the leap, it's worth it.”

A says:

“It was my fourth photoshoot with Alyssa and it continues to amaze me how each session takes on a life of its own. She makes each session so unique and tailored to where I am in my cycle of life and helps me represent that in our photos together.”

Session details

Please note that this sale is for new bookings and cannot be combined with other offers or applied to already-booked sessions.

Curious about what a session day is like?

Here's a typical timeline for a boudoir session experience:

8am or 9am - arrive to the studio! If you've opted for hair/makeup styling, you’ll arrive at 8 and a pro hair/makeup artist will meet you at the studio and start styling! If you're doing it yourself, you’ll arrive ready to go at 9!

by 11:30ish - we will wrap up shooting (sometimes earlier)

12-4pm - adventure/break time - do something lovely/fun for yourself while I edit your pictures!

4pm - meet back at the studio for your Boudoir Reveal to view and order your portraits! I like to allow plenty of time for this so you don't feel rushed, although some clients make their choices sooner.

by 5:30pm - you will be done! Plan something fun for your evening, because you’ll walk out of your boudoir reveal feeling amazing and in love with yourself!

Is pro hair/makeup styling an option?

I do offer pro hair/makeup styling for an extra $250 (you’ll see a spot on the booking page to add it on). My hair/makeup artists are amazing at working with all hair textures and skin tones, and they’re also vaccinated for covid.

About half my clients opt for pro styling, and the other half choose to DIY their hair/makeup for a more natural/everyday look, and that's great too! Do whatever feels best to you.

Where are you located?

My studio is located in the Longfellow neighborhood of south Minneapolis! There is a parking spot for clients right outside the studio, and I’ll send directions and details when your session gets closer.

My studio is a custom-built space that I opened back in 2023, and every detail has been designed for my boudoir sessions. The lighting, the windows, and the huge amount of session options are amazing for photoshoots, and there are so many fun and cozy details my clients have been loving (from heated floors to the private dressing room). It’s an amazing space and my clients have been adoring it.

When will the photoshoot take place? 

This sale is for sessions in 2025! I take sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the studio, and my sessions are a full-day experience beginning at 8 or 9 in the morning and wrapping up around 5:30. My clients are typically arranging to take a personal day off of work. 

i’m nervous about posing

That’s totally normal, my friend! I’ve got your back - I’m an expert at posing and lighting, and will completely guide you throughout the session (I’ll even demonstrate poses for you!) You just get to show up, and I’ll take it from there!

Priya says:

“Alyssa's style of photography instantly drew me in — warm, soft, natural, so I knew I had to book a session with her when the time came, and I'm so glad I did!

Alyssa’s studio really allows so much room to play around, be comfortable, try out different positions and backgrounds that give so many different feels to one session.

This boudoir experience allowed me to just be myself, entirely as I am, and see that in a material form through the images I now get to take home with me and flip through anytime I want to feel radiant and happy with who I am, who I've become, and who I certainly will become.”
