I'm Layra (Pronounced /LY-rah/), your cheerleader behind the lens, and i am so happy that you landed on this part of the web world to chill with me and celebrate all the amazing women we've had the privilege of working with. Boudoir photography isn't just about capturing sultry images; it's a celebration of your unique story, your journey, and your inner beauty. We are a safe and inclusive environment for women (both cis and trans), as well as non-binary individuals who feel at home in a female-focused setting.
It's for anyone and everyone who wants to embrace their true selves, whether you're celebrating a milestone, rediscovering your confidence, or simply treating yourself to a day of pampering and self-love.
At its core, boudoir photography is about vulnerability—the willingness to open up, be yourself, and let your story shine through. It's about embracing every curve, every scar, and every imperfection as a part of what makes you beautifully, authentically you. So, if you're ready to step into the spotlight, embrace your inner light, and tell your story with courage and grace, I'm here to help you capture those moments of magic that you'll cherish forever. Ready to say YES to you? Scroll down and BOOK your sesh RIGHT NOW!

I wanted boudoir photos to remind me how powerful, beautiful and sexy I am...even as the world tells me that I'm not because I'm a larger Black woman. As I've done the inner work to heal my relationship with my body, I wanted to do a shoot for the experience as well as the resulting photos.
Layra not only created a loving space for us (not just me, but herself too!) to harness our sacred feminine power and beauty, but she leverages her keen eye to capture to most breathtaking images! The quality of the final images is exemplary!
I never thought a Boudoir session would open my mind and eyes on so many levels.
It wasn't just about my image or how sexy I felt, but the power of putting your complete trust into someone that is looking at and through you but through her own lens and trusting that she'll capture ME in the most authentic and raw way.
I loved everything the makeup being able to have outfit changes that was truly the cherry on top!
I wanted a mix of experiences in my photo shoot . Sexy, sensual and playful.
This is a form of self care for me being able to capture myself as I am- RAW.
.
I never laughed and smile so much. I ended up coming into my sexiness and I wouldn’t have gotten there if it wasn’t for Layra. Each time she showed me a glimpse of the moments she took with her camera, I was shocked to see the beauty she capture of me and what I had hidden from myself to see.with Each shot I became more comfortable in my skin.
That day I let my guard down
