A shoot with Atlantic Boudoir isn’t just about pretty pictures; it's the quickest, easiest and most insanely fun way to get the confidence boost you've been looking for.
You’re juggling a million things – work, kids, life – and somewhere along the way, you lost touch with that fierce, confident version of yourself.
You’ve been telling yourself you don’t have the time, money, or energy to do something just for you. But here’s the thing: You deserve to feel amazing, and it’s time to reclaim the fire inside.
Choose a day and time that works for you, and I'll give you a call for a 15-minute conversation. I can answer any and all questions you have, and if you're ready, can get you booked right on the phone!
We start with an in-person consultation about a month before your shoot. This is where I help you feel 110% prepared to strut your stuff in front of the camera. Together, we’ll raid the Client Closet, trying on outfits that flatter your body type and make you feel like a million bucks. By the end, you’ll have killer looks ready to go.
Our pro stylists are here to make sure your natural beauty shines through. Whether you want dramatic glam or a more natural vibe, we’ll create a look that’s camera-ready and totally you.
Worried about looking awkward? Not on my watch. I’ll coach you through every pose, angle, and even facial expression, making sure you look and feel photogenic from head to toe. By the end, you’ll be nailing poses like a pro.
After the shoot, take a break, enjoy your lunch (and maybe that massage!), while I narrow down your shots to the top jaw-dropping images. You’ll get to pick your favorites, which I’ll then professionally retouch to transform you into a work of art.
I run Atlantic Boudoir, a luxury portrait studio for women and couples in Wilmington, NC.
These pictures are from a couple of my own shoots - it's such an incredible experience. Boudoir is so much more than photographs - it's about self-acceptance, body neutrality and art.
It's about being pampered, being authentic and having fun.
My favorite part is the transformation that takes place between the time you walk into my studio and when you leave that afternoon.
This is something every woman should experience.
My team and I have been providing boudoir and other portrait services to women over the past 5 years.
Prioritizing my own well-being made me happier and more confident. Now, I help other women rediscover their spark through photography.
What is a boudoir photoshoot?
Boudoir is an intimate, honest and glamorous portrait photography session that's all about empowerment. It’s the chance to be vulnerable and express a side of yourself that you may have lost touch with, or one that you love to bring out every once in a while!
Will there be any men present during the shoot?
No. Our team is 100% female, intended to keep you feeling comfortable and at ease while on set with us.
What if I don’t want anyone else to see my images?
That is 100% your choice! If you do not wish to give us the permission to share your photos in your marketing materials, we will absolutely honor your wishes!
Is it normal to be nervous to book a boudoir photoshoot?
Almost everyone is nervous to do something like this – that’s what makes it so fun! Use this opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and feel an intense rush of pride and happiness that you did something for yourself.
Where is the studio located?
Our studio is located at 812 Castle St. in beautiful downtown Wilmington, NC. We are walking distance to a variety of restaurants, bars, shops and hotels!
When will I get to see my photos?
The same day as your session! You take a lunch break, get a massage, and then they’re ready for the big reveal!
Will you retouch my acne/wrinkles/cellulite/bruises?
Yes – I professionally retouch all of your purchased images. I do not change body shapes, but I do smooth skin and remove blemishes, etc.
I’m a curvy/”older” woman – can you still make me look good?
Um…yes! I photograph women of all ages, sizes, and shapes. We are all unique and boudoir is for everyone!
How far in advance should I schedule my shoot?
My calendar fills up quickly. I recommend coming in for your shoot 4-6 weeks before you need your album, and booking the shoot with me 2-3 months before that.
I finally booked with Alisha and am SO grateful for the experience! From the hugs entering her studio, to having my hair and makeup done, to having Alisha put me at ease during the photo shoot, I can truly say that I would book a session 100 times again. The pictures you get out of it will remind you of the badass you are every time you look at them.
If you wait to ‘be ready’ you will never ‘be ready’. This experience will transform you and actually ‘make you ready’ for whatever life throws at you. You walk into the session nervous, self-conscious, and maybe sometimes just feeling defeated. But the session will cause you to find your inner queen. It is a tool for you to rediscover who you really are and who you always thought you could be.
I really don’t even have words of how these photos made me feel, but definitely in a good way. They showed a side that I certainly have never seen, not just physically, but mentally as well. I saw value and beauty in myself that I have not seen in many, many years. Thank you Alisha, for restoring the woman I had hiding deep down inside! The amazing photographs are just the icing on the cake.
Images are like time portals that remind you of how you felt in that moment.
