You are safe to be seen here

EXISTING IS

REASON ENOUGH TO BE SEEN

RIGHT NOW

You don't need to wait for the right time, the right weight, or the right amount of confidence. My studio exists so you can stop waiting and start seeing yourself the way everyone else already does.

Full-service, or just the essentials — A.M.P. Boudoir is a Des Moines boudoir experience built for the version of you that's ready to take that next step.

FULL SERVICE

Hair, makeup, a client closet full of options, and a session guided from the first pose to the reveal.

You bring yourself — everything else is handled.

MINI SESSION

Already know your look? Handle your own hair and makeup and keep it simple.

Same guided direction, same reveal, shorter session.

COUPLES SESSION

A session built for two — playful, intimate, or somewhere in between.

No performing for the camera, just the two of you being exactly who you are together.

“The day of the session Amanda was very organized and prepared, friendly and put me at ease right away.

The session was fun, relaxing and I felt like the queen of the day!”

Discover What’s Possible

Confidence

Real confidence, not just a caption. A gallery of photos where you actually recognize yourself — and like what you see.

Reclaiming Your Body

Whatever brought you here — postpartum, an illness, a breakup, or just getting older. This is where you get to meet your body again, on your own terms.

Self-Love

Not "love yourself" as an end all be all hashtag. An actual afternoon where someone else's whole job is making sure you feel good in your own skin.

And a gallery that proves it worked.

SO HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?

01. Book your session

Pick your date over the phone during a no-obligation consultation call or through the online scheduler — whichever is easier for you.


02. Begin the preparations!

Leading up to your session, you'll get a prep guide, email reminders, and a quick questionnaire so I know exactly where your head's at before you walk in.

Local business partner discounts included in the prep guide ;)


03. At your session

Hair and makeup if you booked full-service, guided posing and expression coaching either way, plus the client closet if you need it.


03. The big reveal

Within two weeks of your session, we'll sit down together, pick your favorites, and lock in your printed products — or keep it fully digital if that's more your speed.

The red-haired woman is wearing a white, open-knit, long-sleeve top and white shorts. They are in a room filled with green plants, a bed with beige and white pillows, and sunlight streaming through windows with brown curtains.

This isn’t my first rodeo ;)

The A.M.P. Boudoir experience isn't one-size-fits-all. This isn't my first rodeo… I've been doing this long enough to know boudoir isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is what makes someone nervous about booking, or what originally made you Google “Boudoir near me”

It's not about cookie-cutter poses off a list; it's about getting at whatever actually brought you in, and building the session around that. If you're feeling unsure, that's exactly why it's worth going with someone established who's done this a few hundred times over.

Investment

Sessions start at $599, with full day experience collections ranging up to $4,000 depending on the experience and images included.

Every collection is priced around the images themselves and the type of experience - whether you take the images home as digitals, or an album is up to you.

Payment for your chosen collection is required before your session date, either as one lump sum or through a payment plan — whichever works better for you.

A Note From Amanda

I booked my own boudoir session postpartum, nervous and unsure and not feeling like myself — and walked out feeling like I'd been let in on something I wish I'd known sooner. That's exactly what I want for you. Existing is reason enough to be seen, and I'd love to show you that.
