Maine & NH Boudoir Studio // I’m Not a Model. Cool. Neither Are 99% of My Clients.
(And honestly, thank god for that. We don’t need runway. We need real.)
“I’m not a model.”
Cool. Neither are 99% of the people I photograph.
Like seriously—none of them rolled in from a Vogue shoot. They rolled in from real life—juggling work, families, stress, confidence issues, laundry piles, and probably a mild caffeine addiction (again, same).
But guess what?
They still crushed it.
You will too.
Boudoir Isn’t About “Looking Like a Model.”
It’s about seeing yourself differently—as powerful, soft, strong, sexy, edgy, whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-be. And you don’t need to know how to pose or smolder on command to do that.
“Val literally made it so easy to fall into the moment and feel my own power.”
I guide you every step of the way.
You don't need to know any poses. In fact, please don’t try to memorize any Pinterest poses. I got you. I’ll show you every movement, every head tilt, every toe point.
(Yes, I will demonstrate. Yes, it will be awkward. Yes, I will dramatically fall onto the floor trying to show you “the arch.” No, I will not stop.)
What You Think You’ll Look Like:

What You Actually Look Like:
🔥 confident goddess with “I run this shit” energy
“The second I walked into Val’s studio; instant ease.”
“I felt SO beautiful and sexy, and left feeling like a new person.”
Most people walk in a little shaky. Nervous. Telling me they’re awkward.
And then—somewhere between the second outfit and third pop punk song—they forget the camera’s even there.
This Ain’t America’s Next Top Model.
Nobody’s judging your angles here. There’s no panel. No eliminations. No “smize.”
Just you, me, some good lighting, and probably a Fall Out Boy song playing in the background while I yell, “YESSSS. RIGHT THERE. HOLY SH*T.”
“JUST DO IT. I regret telling myself I had to look a certain way to do it… All bodies are beautiful and you deserve to be celebrated exactly as you are NOW.”
Amen.
Final Truth Bomb
You don’t need to be a model.
You need to be willing.
Willing to say yes to yourself. To show up in all your real, raw, imperfect, powerful glory and let me show you how damn incredible you already are.
That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
Let’s do it.
