    Makeup & Hair

    The day of your session you’ll arrive at our private Round Rock studio at 10:00 am and head right into hair and makeup with one of our pro stylists. She’ll work with you on your desired look and will have you feeling absolutely gorgeous.

    -Hair and makeup is complimentary and is not required. I absolutely love a natural beauty photoshoot and it’s actually quite a common request.

    The Session

    Your session will begin right after hair and makeup, or as soon as you get here if you’re rocking a natural look!

    I’ll go over each outfit with you and plan our sets accordingly. Then here comes the fun part. I’m a super pro and I’m trained in angles, posing and facial expressions so this is when you breathe, relax and let me guide you. Your only job at this point is to be my beautiful clay.

    Your Reveal

    After your session we’ll set a date a week or two later for an in studio reveal. I’ll immediately begin retouching your images in house to ensure utmost privacy. When reveal day arrives, we will go through all of your retouched images together! You’ll then select your favorites and I’ll begin creating your album and ordering your wall art!

Why i love this work

Hi, I’m Chrissy. One of the first things I tell every client is “Congrats on being here.”

Because I know how much courage it took to book a session, and saying yes to yourself deserves to be celebrated.

Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of incredible women, and I never take that trust for granted. I love creating beautiful images, but my favorite part is seeing the look on your face when you see the back of the camera for the first time. And don’t even get me started on your reaction when you see your finished images at your reveal!

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me decorating my home, making music, or spending a cozy night watching movies with my husband Rodrigo and our two pups, Bowie the Weens and Duke Model Mutt. Creativity has always been a huge part of my life, and I feel so lucky it led me here.

    AMAZING!!! I did a boudoir shoot with Chrissy and she was the absolute best! Every part of the experience was just so much fun. She is super friendly and welcoming and loves what she does! The shoot felt like I was hanging out with a bestie that I've known forever! And the photos are STUNNING! I seriously have never looked and felt so beautiful in my whole life. 10/10 would recommend! If you’re on the fence about doing a shoot, definitely do it with Chrissy. You will not regret it!!!

    My experience with Chrissy far exceeded my expectations. She is kind, warm, welcoming, professional, and not to mention incredibly talented.

    I’m blown away by my photos and I can’t give her enough credit. This was the most empowering experience. Something every woman should feel.

A few questions you might have

I’m nervous. Is that normal?

Absolutely. Nearly every client tells me they’re nervous before their session. By the time we’re done, most are saying “That was so much easier than I expected.”

I’ve never done anything like this before. Will you help me pose?

Don’t worry. That’s my job! I’ll guide you through every pose, expression, and little detail from head to toe. By the end of your session, you’ll feel like a natural.

What should I wear?

You probably already own more than you think. Your prep guide includes ideas for shopping your own closet, and you’re welcome to borrow from my curated Client Closet featuring lingerie, robes, bodysuits, sweaters, button downs, t’s, heels, and accessories in sizes XS-5X.

Do I have to wear lingerie or pose nude?

Absolutely not! You’re in complete control from start to finish. We’ll discuss your comfort level before we ever start shooting, and nothing happens without your enthusiastic yes. Many clients love implied nude, while others prefer stay fully covered. Either way, your images will be absolutely stunning.

Is professional hair and makeup included?

Yes! Professional hair and makeup is included with every full boudoir session, so you’ll arrive, relax, and let us take care of the rest.

How much does a session cost?

A $249 retainer reserves your session date and is applied toward your collection purchase. Collections beginning around $1,900, with most clients investing around $3,000. Flexible in-house payment plans are also available.

I also offer Signature Mini Sessions one Saturday each month for women looking for a lower starting investment or shorter time commitment.

My Experience Guide below includes all the details on both experiences so you can decide which is the best fit for you.

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring one female friend for support and encouragement. I simply ask that she helps keep the focus on you so you can fully enjoy your experience.

How far in advance should I book?

If you have a specific date or celebration in mind, I’d recommend booking as early as possible for the best availability. That said, if you’re booking just a week or two before your session, you’re still in great hands. I’ll make sure you feel completely prepared and have the same incredible experience from start to finish.
