Your Vision, My mission: Customizing your Boudoir Experience | NYC Intimate Portraiture

Sep 9

So you’ve got a boudoir photoshoot on the brain, and you’re exploring your options of photographers. You’ve made it this far in your life: overcoming all kinds of adversity, setbacks, 6-hour Eras Tour ticket queues (just me?), kids, marriage, jobs, wins, losses, the literal works - your life adds up to your unique lived experience. And you want all that and then some captured in your shoot.

I’ve got you, love. When you book your Boudoir by Afton session, it’s not just another photoshoot to me - it’s all I can and will do to tailor every aspect of the experience to who you are, warts and all. I can assure you with a blazing passion that isn’t one of those assembly-line sessions where you’re just slotted into the same poses with the same backdrops as everyone else. Your vision is my mission. Your Boudoir by Afton Experience is fully customized; every detail, from the mood to the wardrobe to the poses, is designed specifically to your taste with your vision in mind. It’s a collaboration, an exploration, and a celebration of who you are.

My commitment to customizing each boudoir session

Every session is as individual as the incredible, formidable, resilient human in front of my lens, and it’s my joy and honor to co-create a luxurious, unforgettable experience tailored exactly to what you need. From the moment you book your session, my top priority is making sure this experience feels 100% personalized to you, starting from our very first consult call. It’s about creating a space where your unique vision, personality, and story take center stage. Whether you’re dreaming of soft, ethereal vibes or something bold and sultry, every element of your session—from the lighting to the poses to the final edits—is a manifestation of your boudoir dreams. No two clients are alike, and that’s exactly how I approach every shoot. This level of customization is what makes a luxury experience like this so special. You’re not just paying for photos—you’re investing in a bespoke experience that cannot be replicated.

Sharing your vision, preferences, and ideas

This is your time to shine and when the fun really starts is when you share with me your ideas. I want to hear it all! Whether you’ve been daydreaming about a particular theme, have a specific mood in mind, or even have a favorite song that makes you feel unstoppable, we’ll use that as inspiration to create something truly you. I encourage my clients to share their thoughts, Pinterest boards, favorite outfits—whatever helps you communicate your vision. You’ll share your favorite music with me so I can make you a playlist that’ll make you feel like Beyonce. I’ll serve you up your favorite candy and snacks because you are the main character. Got a specific outfit that makes you feel like you could rule the world? Let’s plan around it. We can make it happen. No detail is too small, and no idea is too “out there.” This process is all about collaboration—your vision combined with my expertise. Together, we’ll make boudoir magic never seen before and never seen again.

Bringing your unique story to life through boudoir

This isn’t just about taking pretty pictures—it’s about telling your story in a way that feels authentic, unapologetic, and liberating- my hope for every single Boudoir by Afton client. Whether you’re marking a milestone, stepping into a new chapter of your life, or just feeling yourself (as you should), your session will capture that energy. I’m here to help you tap into you—the you who’s kind, strong, resilient, and sexier than you think you are. The you who’s showing up stronger and more powerful every day. Every pose, every look, every laugh is a painstroke on the masterpiece of your life and story. My mission is to bring that out, so when you look at these photos, you’ll see more than just a gorgeous image—you’ll see the fearless, formidable human you’ve always been.

See you on the other side of the lens, love.

Afton
