EMBRACE YOUR EXTRAORDINARY
Editorial Boudoir & Couture Portrait Experiences
Most women don’t book a boudoir session because they feel ready, they book because they’re ready to see themselves in a new light.
As a high-end boudoir photographer in St. Louis, I create editorial, story-driven imagery that feels intentional, elevated, and deeply personal.
You are guided the entire time, so there is no awkward posing, no guesswork, and no worrying what to do with your hands.
Your photoshoot is just you, shining, styled, and directed in a way that looks and feels like you.

VIEW THE FULL EXPERIENCE
Your images deserve to be experienced, not just stored. There is something special about holding an album in your hands, flipping through pages, and seeing yourself framed on a wall. When you hold your photos in print, you don’t just see how you looked, you remember how you felt.
At Boudie City, your photographs are preserved as heirloom albums, fine art wall pieces, and curated collections designed to live with you tangibly, not just on a screen.
The best way to preserve your full story is a Couture Collection, which gives you more intentional design, priority production, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
If you’re ready to see what that looks like, explore our collections and pricing details below.

"THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR MAKING A GAL FEEL GORGEOUS AS FUCK AND FOR MAKING MY GEEKY ASS FEEL ALL LADY LIKE. GRADE A BAD-ASS!"
"My photos look like they belong in a magazine, but somehow they still feel exactly like me. Booking this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.”
"My photos are so beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🩷"
"I booked my session at 43 as a gift to myself. I saw a woman who looks confident, sexy, and fully comfortable in her skin, and I have never felt more beautiful."
"OH. MY. GOD. I’M LITERALLY CRYING! THESE ARE BETTER THAN I ENVISIONED!! KELLY IS TRULY AN ARTIST AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN!"
"What an empowering, wonderful experience! I got to spend the day being pampered and hyped up! I think everyone should experience a Boudie City shoot at least once in their life - if not more!"

If you've been telling yourself "Maybe Someday..."
Maybe someday when you lose the weight.
Maybe someday when work slows down.
Maybe someday when you feel more confident.
You show up for everyone else, but you’ve been putting yourself at the bottom of the list for a long time while carrying all of the responsibility and holding everything together.
Somewhere along the way, you stopped seeing yourself the way you used to and started feeling invisible. Not because you disappeared, but because you’ve just been busy surviving life and burnout.
If you're done waiting for permission, Boudie City is for you.
We're here for the woman who wants to remember what it feels like to be seen, to take up space without apologizing, and to look at a photograph and think, "There she is."
This isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with the version of you that has been hiding deep inside, but she never actually left.
Is that you? If so, you’re in the right place.
