You don’t have to feel confident to book something like this.
You don’t need to lose weight first. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to fix anything about yourself.
Most of my clients come in overthinking; picking themselves apart. They wonder if they’re going to feel awkward the entire time.
That’s completely normal.
This experience is designed so you don’t have to figure any of that out on your own.
I guide you through everything, step by step, so you can stop overthinking how you look and actually see yourself differently.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about seeing yourself without the constant self-criticism you’ve been carrying for years.
I’m not just placing you into poses.
I’m adjusting you in real time. Showing you exactly what to do with your body, your hands, your expression, your breathing. There is always something for you to focus on. So instead of being stuck in your head, you’re focused on what’s happening in the moment.
Many of my Maryland clients travel in from places like Rockville, Silver Spring, Annapolis, and the Eastern Shore for their session.
Your shoot takes place in my private Baltimore studio, where everything is designed to feel comfortable, guided, and completely focused on you.
If you are looking for a Maryland boudoir photographer who will direct you through every step of the way, every detail of your session is intentionally crafted to create timeless, emotive images that reflect your real beauty.
Nicole Griffin Photography also welcomes women from across the DMV, including those searching for a Washington DC boudoir photographer, Baltimore boudoir photographer, or Northern Virginia boudoir photographer. Many clients choose to travel to the Baltimore studio for the elevated, fully guided experience the studio is known for.

Once in a lifetime
Boudoir is not just some sexy photos. It's an experience. After professional hair and makeup you get to model your gorgeous self.
It starts with curiosity. That little voice saying you’re ready to do something for yourself. Once you inquire, we’ll schedule a quick call to dream up your session and make sure it feels like you!
You are fully guided from start to finish.
Your session begins with professional hair and makeup so you don’t have to worry about getting yourself ready. From there, I walk you through every part of the shoot.
I demonstrate poses. I adjust you. I refine small details in real time so you’re never left guessing what to do.
You’re not expected to know how to pose or “look good” on camera. That’s my job.
Most clients start the session feeling nervous… and leave wondering why they were so worried in the first place.
Once you’ve decided to go for it (cue the happy dance!), we’ll lock in your session date and time. Boudoir sessions are held at 10 a.m., starting with professional hair and makeup. Your chance to relax and settle in. You’ll receive a booking link to pay your session fee, sign your contract, and have a zoom meeting so I can get to know you better. We’ll also talk through outfit ideas and I’ll help you choose what makes you feel unstoppable.
This is where the magic happens! You’ll step into a cozy, boutique-style space filled with beautiful light, music, and good energy. You'll receive hair and makeup to make you feel like a super star. I’ll walk you through every pose and expression, cheering you on the entire way. Expect laughter, confidence, and those “holy sh*t, that’s me” moments that you’ll remember long after the session ends!
A few hours after your session, the moment that changes everything, seeing your images for the first time. Together, we’ll select your favorites and design artwork that celebrates you. Every print, album, and image is a reminder of your confidence and the woman you’ve always been.
This experience doesn’t end when the session is over. Your images are something you come back to, not just because they look good. But because they remind you what you actually look like outside of your own self-criticism.
Albums and artwork are designed to last, so this isn’t something that disappears into your camera roll. It’s something you can hold, revisit, and see yourself in again and again.
The session fee includes a pre-planning phone call, wardrobe styling, complementary professional hair and make-up services., guided posing from start to finish, as well as professional retouching of all the images.
All products and images are purchased separately at your reveal appointment after your session.
In addition to being a phenomenal photographer, Nicole’s customer service is top notch! My photos are amazing and she really made me love my body! She made me feel comfortable and I appreciate all of her hard work during our session! I will be booking another session!
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience! My boudoir shoot was truly transformational. For the first time, I saw myself in a soft, feminine, curvy light...and it honestly took my breath away. The photos are beyond beautiful and more than that, they've changed how I see myself.
Yes, she's on the pricier side, but let me tell you, she absolutely knows her worth and delivers every bit of it! Her eye, professionalism, and the way she makes you feel comfortable and empowered is unmatched.
PLEASE do it! This experience is a gift to yourself that lasts long after the shoot is over
I just had a wonderful session with Nicole and had such a great time! She is an incredibly experienced, professional, and sweet photographer. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the shoot and was amazing at giving direction and posing, which made everything feel easy and natural. The photos came out absolutely stunning. I love them! I can’t wait to go back again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.
I love love LOVED everything about my shoot! Nicole made me feel so comfortable from the onset of the photoshoot. I’m self conscious but I was so ready and willing to get the best photos. I felt so beautiful and sexy! Will definitely be using her services again
I wanted to reclaim myself and to see my “sexy;” Nicole Griffin Photography delivered in spades!!! My session was private, I was at ease and my images were so gorgeous I went back, twice, to view them. Nicole involved me in the entire process from initial consultation, to wardrobe, session music and theme. Take the plunge and book a session!
Walking into this photoshoot, I was nervous and unsure of how I would feel, but from the very first moment, Nicole made me feel completely at ease.
For the first time in so long, I didn’t feel self-conscious. I felt seen, valued, and worthy. I felt beautiful.
She gave me back a part of myself I thought I had lost. Looking at the images, I cried happy tears because I could finally see myself through her lens: whole, powerful, and truly beautiful.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER MORE. I was so impressed by Nicole. What I loved was Nicole's perspective on body image. I had HOMEWORK. She had me doing affirmations DAILY for the 2 weeks leading up to our session. I was not expecting that level of care and concern for my perspective of the photoshoot. I genuinely feel a perspective shift. Nicole also made sure to make me feel comfortable to talk about my boundaries and even positively show off areas that I had concerns over. I feel more empowered now than I have in years. She is worth the investment.
What an experience!!!! Ladies, this is a must! I can’t really find the words to describe my experience with Nicole. But trust and believe it was amazing! Fantastic! I still feel like a million dollars after our session. I’m thinking I want to do this again. She was so sweet and professional. Held multiple conversations before and during to loosen me up. Was very encouraging and approve throughout the session. Book her, you will not be disappointed!
My session with Nicole was unforgettable. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely myself. The best part is the album. I keep it proudly on display at home and love showing it to anyone who visits. Every time I flip through it, I’m reminded of how much of a badass I am
I LOVE my photos. My husband does too. I look so hot and I cannot stop smiling every time I see them. I already cannot wait to have another session with Nicole!
Working with Nicole is an absolute dream!
She is such a warm, genuine human being; the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease the moment you walk into the room. She has this beautiful way of lifting you up, guiding you gently, and creating a space where you feel completely comfortable being yourself.
Throughout the entire session, she reminds you of how beautiful, powerful, and sexy you truly are, in a way that feels authentic and deeply affirming. Her energy, care, and eye for capturing confidence make the experience so much more than a photo shoot…it’s empowering, healing, and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
It can feel that way for about five minutes.
Most of my Maryland boudoir clients walk in a little in their head, wondering what they’re supposed to do or how they’re going to look. That disappears quickly because you’re not guessing your way through anything.
I guide you through every pose, adjust you as we go, and show you what to do so you’re not stuck overthinking. By the end, most women are laughing at how nervous they were walking in.
You don’t need to show up with it all figured out. We plan your outfits together before your session so you’re not standing in your closet stressed about what to bring. Some Maryland boudoir clients wear lingerie, some bring bodysuits, oversized shirts, robes, or pieces they already feel good in. The goal is not to fit into a look. It’s to create images that feel like you when you see them.
The session fee is $550, and most clients invest between $3,000 and $5,000 on their images and albums. However, I have a variety of options, starting at $1,300.
A lot of my clients use payment plans because this is something they’ve been thinking about for a while, they just needed a way to make it work. We’ll walk through options together so it feels clear and doable, not overwhelming.
Most women start there. They walk in overthinking, wondering if they’re going to feel awkward or look silly. And then the session starts.
I’m giving you constant direction. What to do with your hands, how to arch, where to look, when to breathe, when to move. There is always something for you to focus on. So instead of being stuck in your head, you’re focused on what’s happening in the moment. And at some point, you realize you’re not overthinking it anymore.
You’re not thrown into the deep end. We will talk about your vision prior to your session in a zoom call. Then when you show up for your boudoir session, we will start off with you more modestly, and slowly build up to the more exposed poses. This way, it feels easier, more natural. We will go at your pace, if you do not feel comfortable moving to a spicier pose, we don't do it. This session is for you and we go at your comfort level.
You probably will not recognize yourself in the way you’re used to seeing yourself. Not because it’s fake, but because you’re seeing yourself without the constant self-criticism running in the background. Most clients say some version of, “I didn’t know I could look like this.”
That’s not about changing how you look, that’s about changing how you see yourself.
This is usually the question behind all the other questions. Most of my clients hesitate because they’re used to putting themselves last, and almost every one of them says the same thing after:
“I almost didn’t do this, and I’m so glad I did.”
I’ve had clients tell me their confidence did a complete 180. That they’ve never seen themselves like that before.
That they still feel different even after the session is over. So no, it’s not just about the photos.
It’s about finally seeing yourself in a way that actually sticks.
Still have questions about your Maryland boudoir experience?
I am happy to walk you through everything during your consultation.
No two bodies are the same and my goal is to show you how amazing you are.
