The Experience
Hey girl, hey! If you're like me, you've tried to narrow your focus and choose less in the past because it was easier for others to digest.
Each year I become MORE and MORE me, and MORE and MORE free. And it's so fucking freeing to claim that I'm just going to be EVERYTHING I want to be.
P.S. Thank you Meredith Brooks for those killer lyrics!
"I'm a bitch, I'm a Lover. I'm a child. I'm a mother. I'm a sinner. I'm a Saint. I do not feel ashamed."
I’m Susan Delene

PRICING
get weird.
Get Free. Get Seen.
Absolutely! It all depends on your preferences. From soft and romantic to bold and moody, playful, or anything in between, the choice is yours.
Can we choose a theme or a vibe?
Absolutely! It’s an unforgettable, confidence-boosting experience that might just make you the best gift-giver ever. Whether you’re surprising a partner, celebrating a friend, or treating yourself, a boudoir shoot is a thoughtful gesture. You bring the thoughtfulness, and we’ll bring the champagne and camera magic.
Can I purchase a boudoir shoot as a gift?
You can, but with caution! If you decide to spray tan, keep it light, go to a trusted professional, and make sure it’s applied evenly. No streaks, no orange tones, and no buildup in creases.
If you’re a regular spray tanner and feel great with it, go for it! Just know it’s at your own risk, babe, since uneven tans can be tough to retouch.
The goal is to feel like your best self, whether that’s with a natural glow or a little extra bronze
Should I spray tan?
I specialize in photographing people who identify as women. I also offer couples boudoir, which can include solo shots of each partner. At this time, I don’t photograph men individually.
