Hello gorgeous, I'm Melisa! Through Boudoir Photography, I help women feel empowered and sexy as they learn to embrace their unique beauty and own their fierce femininity. My boudoir studio is located in North County San Diego. Clients travel to me from all over the country to have their boudoir session.
What inspires me most is the beauty in EVERY woman. No matter what season of life you're in, feeling beautiful is so important!
A little about me: boy mom, natural health connoisseur, dog mom, gardener/ homesteader, homeschooler, travel junkie, and flip flop wearer. I love the mountains, but not the snow. I love the sun, but not the beach (unless it's the Caribbean with 80° water). When I'm not working you can find me momming it up with my boys, reading, gardening, or enjoying a glass of red wine.

"This is definitely worth the investment, if not for the wonderful experience, then most definitely for the incredible products." -Catherine
Tucked away in the countryside, my private studio is designed to feel like an escape. No shared spaces, no distractions, and never more than one per day.
Start with professional hair and makeup, then play in my curated client closet. From beautiful lingerie to show stopping pieces like this vintage-inspired Fredrick's robe.
There's no posing experience required, and no pressure to know what you're doing. I'll guide you through everything, so you can settle in, have fun, and actually enjoy being photographed.
