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!”
- Miss H
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Completely. Most people walk in nervous and leave wondering why they waited so long. I direct every pose and expression, so you never have to guess if you're "doing it right."
-
Don't make me get on my soapbox about this one. There isn't a "right body."
I've photographed women of every shape, size, age, and ethnicity — every single one nervous walking in, and every single one loving both their images and how they felt afterward.
-
Full-service includes hair, makeup, and access to the client closet. It’s a more slow-moving and relaxed day all about you.
Mini sessions are for when you already know your look and want to handle your own hair and makeup — same guided direction, shorter session. You show up ready to go and we have the best time ever.
-
Your gallery is yours. Nothing is shared publicly without your permission so that's entirely up to you.
You'll choose from three release options:
Totally Private (no one sees your images except you, me, and the print lab)
Anonymous (I can share images that don't clearly show your face)
Full Release (heck yeah girl, share my pictures everywhere).
Nothing is shared publicly without your permission.
-
Your reveal happens within two weeks of your session, where we'll go through your gallery together, pick your favorites, and finalize your printed products — or keep it fully digital if that's your preference.
Reveal sessions take place back in my office at the studio or over zoom.
-
Yes — a session shouldn't be an all-or-nothing decision.
While payment is required before your session date for a collection, you don't have to pay it all at once — you can choose one lump sum or a payment plan, whichever works better for you.
Flexible plans mean you can book now and pay in a way that works for you.
I offer in-house pre-session payment plans, or can talk you through how to use Paypal Credit or Affirm
Investment
Sessions start at $599, with full day experience collections ranging up to $4,000 depending on the experience and images included.

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.
