Shadow Goddess Studio
 
Hi! My name is Shayna...
 
I am the owner & photographer at Shadow Goddess Studio. I'm an intuitive artist & a mother raising 3 wildlings. I have found my place as a boudoir photographer and love showcasing the beauty that resonates from deep within in gorgeous women of all shape, color and size. There's something special about removing all the layers so you're left with just the person-- raw, honest and breathtaking. Each person I've had the honor of photographing impacts and inspires me in different ways, and leaves our time together shining brighter and standing taller. This is what I love about what I do. I can't wait to work with you!
What is Boudoir?
The original definition of boudoir is a womanâs private bedroom...
One deïŹnition goes on to say, 'a beautifully decorated room used in the past by a woman for sleeping, dressing, relaxing, and entertaining.'
It makes sense that boudoir photography is most commonly understood as women in various forms of undress in a bedroom. While boudoir photography has formerly been known as a way for women to give saucy portraits to their partners, boudoir has changed... for the better. Boudoir is all about bringing out your inner beauty and letting it shine without the excess layers. It's nothing but you and it's one of the most empowering experiences you can have. When you see your beauty and power through anothers perspective its so empowering, I watch it before my eyes during our 2 hour sessions as we have fun, we tune into our divine feminine Goddess-selves. The knowing that we can create anything we set our minds to.
Boudoir, by new definition, is owning your inner beauty and stepping into the truth of who you are and letting your true authentic self free to shine in all her sensual Goddess beauty and grace. Cause you're a bad bitch babe!
 
HAVE FUN!
BE WILD!
ï»żFEEL SAFE.

A session with me is super fun and based around getting you to tap into your inner wild so you can let go and embrace the beautiful person you were designed to be. I don't know about you but that sounds pretty good!
I am here to guide you 100% of the way. No need to start a secret Pinterest board of steamy photos. I'm here to pose and prompt you so you can feel most conïŹdent in front of the camera. You'll not only feel conïŹdent, you'll look conïŹdent and comfortable. I will provide step by step posing instruction from your head to your toes, from your expression to your ïŹngertips. No detail is left behind.
Our studio time including hair and makeup and styling will last about 3 hours. As you get more comfortable, you'll probably ïŹnd that you'll begin to pose yourself and you'll have your own ideas of how you'd like to look. This is amazing and I'm so excited to see your conïŹdence ïŹre up.
what to wearâš
TIPS:
âšChoose clothing that reïŹects your personality and style. If you're not the one for lace, or if you don't love the strappy look, pick something that is more true to you.
âšAll bodies are beautiful and unique-- take time to ïŹnd what works best. If you feel like you look good, your conïŹdence will be visible in your photos.
âšAsk for help! Don't worry, this is just to get your brain going on what you might like! I'll be guiding you through all the choices during our zoom styling call!
 
I am 100% here for you and would love to work with you to make this session a comfortable and empowering experience. Our wardrobe consult will be amazing time to ïŹnd what works best for you so you can have an incredible session. For your consult, feel free to provide images of you in your options so we can take a look and ïŹnd what we think will work best.
 
During your shoot you will get to decide which level of undress is most comfortable for you. Some clients end up fully nude while others opt for more modest bodysuits. It's all about what works for you-- what makes you feel conïŹdent, secure, and like your inner feminine wiles are ready to come out to play.
Things to avoid..
âšWearing tight ïŹtting clothing prior to your shoot. Tight clothing can crease the skin and make lines. Try wearing something comfortable on your way to the shoot so your skin is smooth upon arrival.
âšGoing super far out of your color and style comfort zone. You want these photos to reflect you, your feminine energy and how you want to see yourself!
âšOVERTHINKING! If youâre not familiar with lingerie and it feels overwhelming just take a beat! I am here to consult and offer my professional opinions! I work with all different body shapes and styles so I have a wealth of knowledge on how to make you feel your hottest!
 
Hair and Makeup
 
Hair and makeup by me the day of your session is now included in the session fee! ! I have been doing models hair and makeup for sessions since I started my business and I know what works best for my style of photography, so I've added it as an extra layer of luxury service available at the studio. However, hair and makeup is not required. If you wish to come as a bare face beauty that's up to you! Whatever you're comfortable with is fine with me and you will be HOT AF with or without makeup!
