Bath Boudoir, a form of fluid magic
I’ve always loved bath boudoir, for me it is a chance to push the creative boundaries. This session was such a fun one, working with my favorite bay area florist Ashely from Ash+Oak, and recently retired dancer LeeAlex. This bathroom set up was gloriously dreamy. On a technical level bath boudoir provides a challenge – working in a small space, and quickly to avoid the model getting prune. Despite the seriousness of LeeAlex’s expression, this shoot involved a lot of laughing.
Honoring your body with art…
Bath boudoir isn’t necessarily a comfortable experience, in fact it can be awkward as all hell. But when I think back on the life changing moments I’ve had, most of them were not comfortable. Embracing your body “flaws” and all is not comfortable. It is empowering, and transformative. Bath boudoir is an experience, like jumping out of an airplane, or doing a standup routine.
The biggest honor for me is to be able to help guide you through a transformative experience. One that you walk away from knowing you are a strong, defiant and badass woman. So if water is your element, or calls to you in some kind of inexplicable way, then a bath boudoir experience would be high on my list of recommendations for you!
“there is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.”
Hope you enjoy these seriously sexy photos!

Truly stunning. I have seen milk baths for maternity but never boudoir. I love how tasteful and empowering these images are.
These are beautiful, creative, and inspiring. Bravo! Gorgeous lady and flawless photography!
Like the creativity Ella. Great shots!
These are truly stunning Ella!!! I love your words and how you compare being so vulnerable to facing fears such as jumping out of an airplane and standup. Absolutely gorgeous work! π
