My passion + purpose is to
BOOK YOUR BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE
women
empower
As a 10+ year boudoir photographer I have had the honor of facilitating and documenting women celebrating their bodies through luxury boudoir experiences. My private studio in Marquette is a safe space to heal, overcome self-doubt, un-learn society's B.S. of what women are 'supposed to look like', tap into your inner power and honor your body and soul, and have badass photos to commemorate the milestone.
Every inch of your body is worthy of love, in every season of life.
If you don't believe me, well, I'll prove it to you.
I am here to document your body and soul, stretch marks and all.
all bodies are beautiful.
all bodies are beautiful.
all bodies are beautiful.
all bodies are beautiful.
"THE PERFECT
BOUDOIR SESSION."
"The perfect boudoir session... all that and then some! I always said I would do a boudoir session if I could just do it with my best friend so I was comfortable.
Kim you nailed it, helping me sort the outfits to fit the scene and mood right, doing my hair, gradually allowing me to warm up to it, and the prompted questions to make this more than just photos.
I can't wait to do this again!"
"This was such an amazing experience. Kim made me feel so comfortable doing something that was totally outside my comfort zone. She was so non-judgmental, encouraging, an excellent coach in posing, and made me feel so confident. She is extremely talented in her craft. The reason I booked the session is as a gift to my fiance for the wedding, but I feel like I got so much more than simply some sexy photos out of the experience. It made me feel comfortable in my own skin and truly feel beautiful, and that isn't something that happens every day."
"This session was so much more than a photo shoot. It’s crazy how freeing it was and how much you are able to look inward and appreciate yourself again. I always love working with you, but this was just an entirely different and new experience that I would definitely do again! I plan to get a book printed for the hubs, and to look back at these photos and remember how I felt in those small moments when I need a reminder that I’m a bad bitch. 💁🏻♀️"
"The atmosphere of Studio South & Kim were so inviting. I never take pictures. Like not even selfies. So to have a boudoir session was a huge thing for me and completely out of my element but I actually felt SO beautiful and empowered. The reasoning behind my shoot was for my husband but at the end I think it was something that I personally really needed. Being a mom, I don’t really think about myself and don’t take the time to compliment my body. Kim made me feel present and absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be doing it again in the future!"
"The shoot was SO empowering! For me this was all about body positivity. For so many years I have struggled to love the body I'm in and I've finally found my confidence. Yes, I still have rolls on my body, but I've learned to embrace them. This body has carried me through a hard life. And I am dang proud of how far I have come. Kim, thank you for an awesome morning and such a fun, amazing boudoir shoot! I had an absolute blast!"
THE BOUDOIR
BY KIMGIRL EXPERIENCE
Think of the boudoir experience as an entire afternoon dedicated to celebrate you.
On the day of your session, you'll arrive at my private boudoir studio in Downtown Marquette to hype music playing and your Starbucks order waiting for you. My mini fridge always has a bit of bubbly if you want to celebrate extra!
I'll hang all of your looks on the style rack and then if you opted for complimentary hair and makeup, we get to glammin' (notttt the kind that makes you look like someone else. The kind that brings out your natural features and still feels like you.)
We'll shoot anywhere from 30-90 minutes. Don't worry, I show you exactly how to pose and, I am hyping you up the entire time. We'll laugh, we'll cry (for real) and by the end you'll feel confident and connected to your soul.
You'll have the option to do a same-day studio reveal or view your edited images and order artwork and an album in the comfort of your home via your private online gallery.

Boudoir FAQ
I recommend booking your session 1-2 months in advance. Boudoir sessions take place during the week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Weekends upon request, for an additional fee.
I offer a flat iron style or curl style complimentary for my boudoir babes, as well as makeup and false lash application. If you want to treat yourself or go full glam, I have a list of hair and makeup artists that I can refer you to that you can coordinate with prior to your session. If you do choose to get makeup done, the artist you choose can come to the studio or you can arrive with it done. It is 100% personal preference. I'm never going to require anyone to wear makeup.
Absolutely! After you book I send my boudoir guide right over to you and it includes everything from what to wear, to where to shop, how to prep in the weeks and days leading up to your session and so much more. No matter what, you should wear only things you feel comfortable and AMAZING in. If you can't decide, bring it all and I'll help select the final looks.
