Finding Art in Yourself
R. Smith
R's session in Asheville, NC, wasn't just a bridal boudoir session. It was also a creative collaborative piece. She styled her second set and painted her own backdrop!
Check out her more in the blog of R's session!

rediscovering confidence
kaitlyn in jacksboro
Kaitlyn was one of the first models I had the pleasure to work with when I was starting my boudoir photography journey. (Read her review below!)
Whether or not you have modeling experience, I consider a boudoir space a collaborative one. YOU are the art. Bring your authentic self, insecurities, and your strengths. I'll bring the posing direction and a gracious, fun space. Together, we'll make art.

Creative collaboration
V. In Knoxville Tennessee
V's session was born from inspiration. Her ink and personality struck a creative chord that made too much sense to not photograph.
Do you like this "editorial" type of boudoir? You might think that it wouldn't feel as comfy as a "home" session. But in no time you'll feel right at home in the studio space!

Your Boudoir Photography
My own experience with boudoir photography has been so healing and fun. Boudoir photography was a way for me to learn to see myself in a new light, and an act of rebellion against the unhealthy expectations I have of my body. I found strength and joy not by changing my body, but learning to love the one I have. That's what I want to share with you.
If you're nervous about being in lingerie or nude in front of a camera, I've been there too. With me as your boudoir photographer, you'll have someone there who knows what the experience feels like and how to make your session comfortable and fun!
You might already have inspiration, or maybe you need help crafting your vision. I'm here to help you make art of you.

My boudoir photoshoot experience was 100/10!
I had never done a boudoir photoshoot before, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect and was a bit nervous. But I’ve never met a photographer that works as hard as Micah does to make his clients feel comfortable and confident... So on the day of the photoshoot it just felt like hanging out with a friend, and I wasn’t nervous at all once we got started!

"I haven't been modeling for most a year because of the way I've been feeling about the weight that I've gained. I was finally ready to get in front of the camera again and I picked a great photographer to do that with. He made me feel so beautiful and was so professional."

"...He’s creative and so energetic. Excellent at making you feel comfortable. Skilled at capturing the perfect moment,"
"Micah Nelson creates beautiful photography."
Enough about me, I want to hear about YOU! What’s your story? Where are you thinking for your boudoir session? What date do you have in mind, and what questions do you have? So excited to meet you!
