THE CHERRY PIE EXPERIENCE
COME CURIOUS. COME NERVOUS. COME READY TO PLAY.
A Cherry Pie session is private, personal, and built around what you want to explore.
You can arrive with a complete concept or nothing more than curiosity. I will help you plan, guide you through every pose, and make room for the softer, bolder, stranger, sexier, or slightly less well behaved side of you to show up.
You do not need modeling experience. You do not need to arrive perfectly confident. You definitely do not need to know what to do with your hands.
BEFORE THE CAMERA COMES OUT
We start with a conversation.
Tell me what brought you here, how you want the photographs to feel, what you are curious about, and what is completely off the table. We can talk through outfits, inspiration, comfort levels, boundaries, and any personal gremlins that may be tagging along.
There is no required makeover and no single way you are supposed to look. Come fully glammed, freshly faced, or somewhere in between. Bring pieces that feel like you, even if they are not traditional lingerie.
This is your experience. We are not squeezing you into someone else’s version of boudoir.
ON THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION
Your session takes place in my private Roseville studio, where you will have room to settle in before we begin.
We will talk, look through your wardrobe, put on some music, and ease into the experience. There is no team moving around you and no pressure to switch into performance mode the second you arrive.
Once we start shooting, I will guide you through posing, movement, and expression. I will demonstrate when it helps, make adjustments along the way, and tell you what to do before you are left wondering whether your arm looks weird.
It probably does not. But I will fix it anyway.
COME AS YOURSELF
You are not expected to arrive looking like a professionally styled lingerie model.
Your hair can look like your hair. Your makeup can look like your makeup. Your wardrobe can be glamorous, casual, sentimental, theatrical, barely there, or nowhere to be found.
Bring what makes you feel hot. Bring what makes you feel comfortable. Bring something you have always wanted an excuse to wear.
We will figure out how to use it.
MAKE IT AS COLLABORATIVE AS YOU WANT
Some clients want to help shape every detail. Others would rather show up and let me take the reins. Both work beautifully.
Bring the vision.
Arrive with reference images, wardrobe ideas, a story, or a fully developed concept, and we will build it together.
Bring the feeling.
Tell me you want something soft, powerful, playful, strange, sensual, or explicit, and I will help turn that feeling into a visual direction.
Just bring yourself.
Not sure what you want yet? That is completely fine. I can lead the styling, posing, mood, and flow of the session for you.
Most people land somewhere in the middle.
YOU SET THE PACE
You never have to push further than feels right.
We can pause, change direction, add coverage, remove coverage, laugh something off, or stop completely. Agreeing to one pose, outfit, or level of exposure does not commit you to anything else.
For couples, kink, and explicit sessions, we talk through everyone’s comfort levels and limits before we begin. I continue checking in throughout the session so everyone remains involved in what we are creating.
There is room to stretch beyond your comfort zone without stepping over your boundaries.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Your photographs remain private throughout the editing and delivery process.
Nothing is posted, published, submitted, or shared without your written permission. You never have to grant image-sharing permission in order to book or receive your photographs.
You will view your images through a private online gallery and choose the photographs included with your session, with the option to purchase additional favorites.
There is no dramatic sales reveal and no surprise investment waiting at the end. You can review the session options and image pricing before you book.
FROM SOFT TO EXPLICIT
Your session does not have to fit inside the traditional definition of boudoir.
It can be romantic, playful, artistic, theatrical, kinky, erotic, or fully explicit. I photograph solo women, solo men, couples, and adults across genders, bodies, identities, and relationship styles.
We decide what we are creating before the camera comes out, and we continue deciding together as the session unfolds.
Your idea does not need to fit neatly into a package. Sometimes the most interesting work begins with, “This might sound weird, but…”
COME TO PLAY. COME TO GROW. COME FOR BOTH.
Some people book because they want sexy photographs and a ridiculously fun afternoon.
Others come ready to challenge something around confidence, sensuality, sexuality, vulnerability, or being seen.
Both belong here.
I will offer encouragement, honest conversation, and coaching when you want it. There is no requirement to turn your session into a grand personal breakthrough, but there is space for something meaningful to happen.
Growth is welcome. It is never required.
READY TO COME PLAY?
You do not need the perfect concept, the perfect outfit, or a sudden burst of courage.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your person.
Bring the side of yourself that has been asking for a little more room.
We will create the rest together.
