Barelife Photography
My journey into photography began 8 years ago taking photos for my birth doula clients. Fast forward a lot of years and A LOT of bad photos taken, and I eventually found my photography calling and passion in Boudoir.
I believe that boudoir photography is about more than just a final image; it’s an experience that has the power to reconnect people to parts of themself they’ve forgotten exist. My favorite part about this work is seeing clients light up when they see themselves the way I see them through my lens—as art.
Outside of photography, I embrace life as a single mother and find joy in powerlifting, hiking, and running. I’m committed to personal growth and believe in empowering others to celebrate their unique beauty.
Join me on this artistic journey, and let’s create something extraordinary together!

Richelle Marie Boudoir
I’m a proud mom of two and a photographer with a passion for capturing powerful, intimate stories. I specialize in boudoir photography, creating a space where women can embrace their beauty, confidence, and individuality.
To me, boudoir is more than just photos—it’s an empowering journey of self-discovery, celebrating your unique story and reclaiming your inner strength. My sessions are designed to make my clients feel radiant, fearless, and unapologetically themselves.
With an artistic eye and a love for storytelling, I aim to create images that reflect each persons boldness, vulnerability, and beauty.
Let’s capture magic together!
