I have worked for years to build a boudoir business that meets you where you are-think of it as progress over perfection. My entire team lives and breathes that same mission.
Our experiences aren’t about the woman you think the world wants you to be, the woman you used to be, the woman you wish you could be…they are about the woman you are, because she is beautiful and so very deserving of love.
One of the biggest misconceptions about boudoir is that you have to have the *perfect* body, the perfect financial situation, the perfect significant other to gift images to, and be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see zero flaws.
…WRONG. I’ve never *ever* photographed a client who saw zero flaws in the mirror. Boudoir is about showing up, allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable to this incredibly intimate experience, and owning who you are. If you wait until the day you think you are perfect, you are going to wait the rest of your life and this opportunity will pass you by.
Your imperfections are welcome here, your brokenness is welcome here, your quirks are welcome here, your fear/doubt/timidness is welcome here. I will meet you where you are, and together we will create art that reminds you that no matter where you are in your journey–you are worthy, beautiful, and capable of facing your life head on.
You can’t afford NOT to have this experience.

One thing I am always guilty of is beating myself up because I’m not *exactly* where I want to be-don’t fear the process. I compare myself to the girl I think has it ALL, to the fit chicks I see power-walking in the neighborhood while I suck in my gut, to the entrepreneur who has achieved everything I’ve ever dreamed of, to the mom who grocery shops with five kids and makes it look effortless while I wrestle my one child in and out of the basket trying not to make a scene.
I tend to forget that I am not a tree. I don’t have to stay exactly where I am–I can adjust and change things as I want. Wanna know what my biggest problem is? I’ve been AFRAID of the process. I hold myself back and get in my own way when I think about my dreams and goals.
If you can relate, let me just drop the same truth bombs right here that I’ve been preachin’ to myself. No dream or goal is too big for you. Nothing is “out of your league.” You’ll never be perfect, and it’s okay to be a hot a** mess. Working towards your goals doesn’t have to be pretty–all you need is the belief in yourself that you were crafted to do *amazing*, world-changing things.
Don’t Fear the Process
All of this is so in line with one thing I absolutely adore about the POWER of a boudoir experience. Once you’ve been *this* vulnerable in front of someone, you start to see that stepping out of your comfort zone and getting insanely brave is scary as sh*t at first, but it gives you proof that you CAN DO hard things. In fact, you can ROCK THEM. Don’t be afraid of the process, babe. Don’t let yourself believe you can’t have the things your heart aches for. DO NOT FALL INTO THAT TRAP. Don’t fear the process.
What is the dream you have for your life that gets you fired up? Are you working towards it? If not, how can we cheer you on so that you start?
While you can find tons of information and images on our website, our private Facebook Group is full of amazing past and future clients. Come join us!
All information and images are shared with the client’s permission.
Why we’re sharing this information with Sara’s permission is because many clients reach out to us saying they don’t look like the clients on our website. I convey that they are very much everyday women just like you and me, but sometimes not seeing and hearing from clients directly doesn’t share the personal experience quite as only they can.
“I’m anywhere between a 14-18 depending on who makes it. When I was professionally measured for bras they said I was a 36GG but I wear a 42DDD from Lane Bryant.”
Sara’s stunning hair and makeup was stylized by Evergreen Beauty. Sara is also an amazing esthetician with Crazy Beautiful Spa– Don’t forget to mention Roosh Boudoir for a special discount on your services with Sara.

We are a local, Northern Virginia + Washington DC boudoir photography company. We over 7 years of experience we have worked with women to show them their sexier side. The one question everyone wants to know is if we retouch? Yes, we retouch your boudoir photos.
I could retouch you. I could take 50 pounds off, give you perfect skin, smooth every ounce of you, give you more here and less there–have you magazine cover ready in a matter of minutes. But I won’t, because it would be literally wiping away the story of your life.
It sounds so great in theory: Finally seeing the backs of your legs with no cellulite, your boobs and stomach with no stretch marks, an instantly flatter tummy and a thinner chin.
BUT.
You’d wake up tomorrow morning, stand in front of the mirror, and there they’d be–staring back at you like they always do. And you wouldn’t have learned. You wouldn’t have learned to love YOU. You’d have learned to continue to only love the version of yourself that you WISH you were. I want to give you a chance to appreciate all of you; to loosen the grip on the parts of you that you are convinced you hate. I want to help you find freedom within yourself.
I want to photograph you and all of the life you’ve lived. I want to document the scars from battles you have won. To celebrate with you the fact that your body is better BECAUSE of them, not in spite of them. To be able to tell you: “You are beautiful because of who you ARE, not because of who I made you into.” We retouch your boudoir photos to be you just glammed up a bit.
We will gently retouch you to have the beautiful images you’ve always dreamed of just like the clients on our website.
I’d love to chat with you more and help you understand this special journey. The first step begins with reaching out so don’t wait one more minute!
