Montrose, Colorado Boudoir Photographer
Serving Montrose, Grand Junction, Telluride & the Western Slope
Come as you are. We'll put on your favorite music, move, laugh, play, and create photographs that let you experience your body instead of picking it apart.
You might leave feeling sexy as hell. You might discover strength you didn't know was there. You might think, Wait...my body can do that?
This isn't just a confidence session...
It's a self-discovery session.

you don't have to be anything for me
Maybe you're already ready.
"I'll do it when I lose a little weight."
"When I feel more confident."
"When I have someone to give the photos to."
"When I have something worth celebrating."
"When I'm finally ready."

"But what exactly are you supposed to be ready for?"
Boudoir doesn't have to mark some grand transformation. You don't need to arrive loving every inch of yourself, and you don't need to arrive wanting to change a thing.
You can book because you're getting married, getting divorced, turning 30, turning 60, celebrating how far you've come, closing a chapter, opening another one—or because you woke up one morning and thought, I want to know what this feels like.
There is no version of you that earns this more than the one who's here right now.
You don't have to wait until you've become her.
You get to meet her here.

What if you surprised yourself?
Maybe it's the first pose you were sure your body couldn't do.
Then you do it.
Maybe it's the way your hips move when you stop thinking about posing and start treating it more like dancing.
Maybe it's catching a glimpse of the back of the camera and thinking,
Because there's something different about seeing yourself when you're not standing in front of a mirror searching for what you like —
or what you don't.
You start noticing the curve your body makes when you stretch. The strength in your legs when you hold a pose. The softness that appears when you let your shoulders drop. The expression on your face when you stop thinking about the camera altogether.
You discover what your body can do beyond the limits you may have quietly placed on it.
And when you see your photographs, I don't want you searching for some perfected version of yourself.
Because maybe the most beautiful part of boudoir isn't becoming someone new.

"Holy shit. That's me?!"
You're moving. Playing. Taking up space.
You're moving.
Playing.
Taking up space.
I want you to recognize yourself—and still be a little blown away by who you see.

What it's like to work together
"It's not just a photoshoot"
“Claire has a true gift for bringing out your best self. And the photos? Absolutely breathtaking. They’re not just sexy, they’re empowering, artistic, and deeply personal.
If you’re even considering doing a boudoir shoot, do it here. It’s not just a photoshoot, it’s an experience that leaves you walking taller and loving yourself a little more 🖤 "
- sarah
"I felt so confident and comfortable the entire time"
"I loved working with Claire for my boudoir shoot!! I was pretty uncomfortable going into it, but Claire made me feel super confident! She was very communicative and provided a lot of advice and preparation guides going into the session. I was so happy with how the photos came out! Would definitely recommend someone to work with Claire if they want to feel confident, empowered and comfortable. "
- athena
"Friendly, professional, and easy going"
Claire goes the extra mile by providing professional model pose coaching (if needed) to ensure only the most flattering angles are captured. She is friendly, professional and easygoing, making the experience fun.”

The Boudoir Experience
90 minutes to move, play, and see yourself a little differently.
Before your session, you'll get my complete boudoir prep guide so you aren't left wondering what to wear, what to bring, or how to prepare for getting half naked in front of a camera.
Want to make me slightly less of a stranger first? Let's grab coffee. We'll talk about what you like, what you don't, what you want from your photos, and start looking for a space that fits what you have in mind.
Bring 3–5 outfits (four is usually the sweet spot), choose from my client closet, or bring me the pile you can't decide between and I'll help you narrow it down.
Once we're shooting, I'll guide you through everything. You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. We'll put on your music and treat posing more like dancing—I'll show you where to start, then give you room to move.
Studio or private rental fees are additional and depend on the space we choose together. Professional hair and makeup are not included.
Deeper retouching is available if you want it, but it isn't my default.
I want you to see yourself as I saw you that day.

What it's like to work together
"It was like being with a close friend hyping me up"
“Claire is the best, absolutely amazing! She was creative and so much fun. She made me feel so comfortable, it was like being with a close friend hyping me up! She made me feel beautiful and empowered me to be comfortable with myself! This was an unforgettable experience, and I will treasure it always.”
- JACKIE
So, how does this actually work?
02
you show up
Bring your outfits, your favorite music, and yourself.
I'll take care of the rest.
01
We dream it up
Once you're booked, you'll get my complete boudoir prep guide. We'll talk wardrobe, what you want from your photos, and find a space that fits what you have in mind.
And if you'd rather meet the woman who's about to photograph you half naked first, let's grab coffee.
03
we dance!
You don't need to know how to pose. That's my job.
I'll show you where to start, then give you room to move. I'll guide you and adjust as we go.
Want to peek at the back of the camera? Go for it. Want to be surprised? No peeking!
04
you get to see what we made!
About four weeks later, your gallery lands in your inbox with all of your best images.
Then comes my favorite part:
You get to see what your body did.
I want you to look like you
Every image you receive is lightly edited and polished, but I'm not going to automatically change your body because I think something needs to be “fixed.”
I want you to see what I saw through my camera that day.
Your shape. Your skin. The way you moved. The things you might not have noticed because you've spent years seeing yourself from the same angles in the same mirror.
If there's something you'd like more deeply retouched, just ask. Photoshop is available—but the choice is yours.
I don’t just pose you, I teach you how to move
Hi, I’m Claire. The way I photograph boudoir took some figuring out.
Early in my career, a sculptor got me looking at the female body differently—not as something to pick apart, but as shape, lines, softness, strength, and movement.
Then one night, while messing around with poses with my best friend, it clicked:
Posing should feel more like dancing.
My own relationship with my body was changing, too. It happened slowly, through different experiences and people—including my husband, who still lovingly calls me out when I start nitpicking myself.
I don’t want to put you in a pose and tell you not to move. I want to show you where to start and see what your body does with it.
Because even after photographing hundreds of women, that Wait…I can do that? moment never gets old.
Hi, I'm Claire. I've been photographing women for a long time, but the way I approach boudoir took some figuring out.
Early in my career, I was struggling with posing. Around the same time, I dated a sculptor who got me looking at the female body differently—not as something to pick apart, but as shape, lines, softness, strength, and movement.
Then one night, while messing around with poses with my best friend, it clicked:
Posing should feel more like dancing.
The spaces between the poses mattered just as much as the poses themselves.
My relationship with my own body was changing around then, too. It happened slowly, through different experiences and people—including my husband, who still lovingly calls me out when I start nitpicking myself.
All of that changed the way I photograph women.
I don't want to put you in a pose and tell you not to move.
I want to show you where to start and then see what your body does with it.
Because after photographing hundreds of women, one thing never gets old:
Watching someone realize, Wait...I can do that?
Started photographing boudoir during my very first semester.
behind the camera professionally
with different bodies, comfort levels, and reasons for stepping in front of my camera
traveling the country photographing boudoir, often 6–8 women in a single day
featured in numerous art magazines, including covers and a recent full feature in Whimscal Magazine
After all those sessions, I still remember so many of the women I've photographed.
You're never just another body in front of my camera.
