On Balance & Boudoir | Fine Art Boudoir Photography in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Phoenix, AZ

“Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough.”

― Victoria Erickson

On Balance & Boudoir

When a woman like Madelyn comes to you with a concept you drop everything and begin imagining the possibilities and planning its magical execution without hesitation. If you've ever experienced a kind of serendipitous meditation like I have you surely understand what I mean. Some people simply bring out the best in you. That is enough.

Perhaps, you prefer yoga, reading, bathing by candlelight and incents...

Me - I create and am fueled and replenished by fine art boudoir photography

-the still life of portraits.

And in a moment of creation like this one when the music and shutter collide in beautiful silence ahhhh . Let there be solitude - where all we have is each other, beating to the same beat, and indulging in the

sweet nothings of pure self care and contentment. 

That is how fine art boudoir exists.

It exists in the calm among the chaos.

It exists where everything comes together just slightly differently than as planned.

It exists in the deepest parts of you that are quiet yet screaming.

It exists in the moments where nothing else matters but the sound of your own heart beating and the breaths you take to remain steady,

calm and willing to trust the power of portraiture.

Where you remain authentic - trusting your body, mind, and soul to deliver what was already there. Feeding on your own desire to feel well and thriving on your commitment to self acceptance.

People like Madelyn understand this. They understand me, in my own flaws and my awkwardly persistent and perfectious (a made up word) need to create and share my passion with others. Meanwhile... inevitably drifting into my own solitude. They value photography as an art and open their minds to the possibility of meditation through intimate boudoir photography in an otherwise uncomfortable circumstance. They trust their photographer and their body -

and believe in self love. 

These are my favorite women to photograph. My muse. My means for meditation. My hope. My joy, and my subject of possibility.

Without you, I am ill. 

Create with me.

Boudoir. A Labor of Love | Fine Art Glamour, & Boudoir Photography in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, AZ

Booking a boudoir or glamour photo shoot is an investment in yourself.  As the entire shoot develops - from the very first meeting where we envision your session and begin planning your shoot, to the final reveal of your finished artwork - you are learning to love yourself. And we think that's pretty darn important.

( I know, kind of sappy right!? But seriously...)

We are kind of obsessed with cultivating a community of women who are learning to love themselves and becoming more and more confident in their own skin. But, what we also know - being totally incredibly candidly fabulous on camera aint easy . That's where we come in. If you are looking for a boudoir or glamour photographer in the Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale area that "gets it" and can honest to goodness produce photos you will love, keep reading...

some things We Think you should know about us.

When I envisioned opening a boutique portrait studio in Phoenix, I knew I wanted to photograph women in an intimate and empowering way. I wanted to create a private and safe place where ANY woman could feel comfortable and confident being herself, finding her wild, and embracing her femininity. I thought, fine art boudoir should capture the essence of a woman feeling her most confident while maintaining her dignity and celebrating her sexuality in a tasteful and artistic way. In a nutshell,

Our aim is to empower women and help them see themselves as sexy as they are. 

You hear that? As sexy as you ARE. Regardless if you are coming into the studio for a model portfolio, grooms gift, or a sexy surprise for a significant other, above everything we believe that you should feel proud and comfortable during your photo shoot with us and your boudoir photos should be a reflection of you looking and feeling your most confident.

Every shoot starts with the intention to create a tasteful collection of images that you love. Want to have images like these? Not sure if you are glamorous enough? Please, do yourself a favor and start believing this can be you - right now.

Honestly, I fall in love with photographing women all over again every time I get behind the camera, because every woman I meet is "glamorous" in her own right (how she laughs, how she blushes at the camera, how she dances when no ones watching, and how her eyes light up and she falls in love with herself when she sees her boudoir photos for the very first time).

Shes evolves into the best version of herself -

celebrating her authenticity

in the raw,
perfectly imperfect,
and unapologetically beautiful. 

Boudoir is a labor of love.

It is connection, romance, self-acceptance,

raw and untamed emotion,

a collection of intimate moments as fine art images that inspire you.

At The Bella Jade Collection our all female team is dedicated to ensuring that every woman can walk away from this experience having seen themselves in a new light, with re-newed confidence, and an even more positive relationship with herself and her body. We want you to look back on your boudoir photos and remember that you (yes, you!) are one pretty darn sexy, glamourous, and amazing person to be.
