Seattle Boudoir Photographer
- For Women & Couples -
Finally fall in love with your reflection.
This is for you.
A wildly fun experience that feels like coming home to yourself.
This work is personal to me.
Learning to love my body has allowed me to live everyday with more joy, confidence, and peace.
It’s a journey that transformed my life, and my passion is to help others find comfort and confidence in their own skin.
-Nerissa
In her words…
“Such good coaching that it felt easy, even to a self proclaimed “non photogenic” person.
Absolutely do it.” - Julie
With seven years of experience, I’ve guided hundreds of women and couples through intimate, confidence-building photo sessions in my private Boudoir studio in Lynnwood, just north of Seattle.
My posing style emphasizes natural movement and genuine emotion.
Why This Matters
A unique boudoir session is about being fully seen, on your own terms.
That kind of shift? It ripples outward into every part of your life.
Clients tell me they walk taller.
Speak louder.
Say yes more.
Say no more.
Feel desire again.
That’s the power of embodied photography - and that’s why I do this work.
It’s a wonderful tool to help you learn how to be more confident. And how to love yourself more.

Because the body you have today is the one worth celebrating. There’s no milestone to hit first, no season to wait for. Many of my clients come in during an ordinary week and leave seeing themselves differently. Starting now just means you get to feel that sooner.
-
I hear this one a lot, and you don’t have to change anything to be here. We celebrate the one body you get, and my retouching style softens the things you are still learning to love.
Many of my clients note their journey of health/fitness feels much easier and they see more progress after accepting the body they have now. -
You don’t need to know how to pose, and it’s rare a client feels “photogenic” before their photoshoot. I show you every movement, mirrored so you know exactly what to do, and I give your hands a job so they don’t feel awkward. Your poses are built around how you want to see yourself, drawn from your questionnaire and our call. By then you’re usually adding your own ideas. We breathe together, we laugh, and it’s more fun than you expect.

I’ll be straight with you about what you’re paying for. My clients tell me that they walk taller and feel more confident after their session and that it affects so many parts of their lives in beautiful ways. My team has over 23 years of collective professional experience, so you know you are in good hands. You receive a full photoshoot experience focused on your specific goals. Whether that is more confidence, celebrating a milestone, a gift for a partner, or learning to love your body - or all of these things!

Your photos are yours, and will NOT be shared without express permission. They are seen by myself and my all-female team only. Photos are stored securely and you can ask me any question about it before you book.

“This was my first boudoir photoshoot and I started with a boatload of anxieties, but Nerissa did a great job dispelling those…. She didn’t just tell me what to do - she laughed with me, breathed with me, showed me how to pose… My photos were better than I could have imagined.”

“WOW! I can't describe how amazing Nerissa was. I was hesitant to do a boudoir photoshoot but she made my partner and I feel incredibly comfortable from the start. She was so professional and made situations I thought would be awkward fun and sexy! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a boudoir shoot. 100 out of 10.”
“We were a little hesitant at first to book because Seattle boudoir photography can be pricey. However, after the photoshoot, my husband and I weren't even thinking twice about the money. It's worth every penny and truly these pictures and the memories that come with this experience are priceless. This is something I'll never forget and I’m excited to be able to have these pictures forever as a reminder of our love and our unique connection.”
