self love with alicia
For the woman who has spent her whole life at war with her body and is finally ready to put down the weight.
YOur body was NEVER THE PROBLEM. THIS SPACE WAS BUILT SO YOU COULD FINALLY SEE THAT FOR YOURSELF.
This isn't your typical boudoir experience. No pressure to be sexy, no expectation to own lingerie, no script for how any of this is supposed to look. I built this space for the woman who is done fighting herself and is finally ready to feel something different. Whether that's in a studio in York, a waterfall in the Poconos, or somewhere that just feels like you, I'm here to show you what you haven't been able to see in yourself yet.
It’s tough being a girl sometimes.
Society has made it nearly impossible to look into the mirror and not nitpick every little thing you see.
We're told from such a young age that we're too much, not enough, too loud, too soft - never just right. I grew up hearing those messages too. And I carried them for a long time without realizing they were never mine to carry.
The self-consciousness, the body hate, the voice that said I should be smaller. I internalized it so deeply I thought it belonged to me. It didn't. And chances are, neither does yours.
Being passionate about helping women feel at home in their own skin? That has always been mine. But the shame? That was borrowed. And I built this space to help you give it back.
That's what body positive boudoir means to me. Not a trend, not a niche. A practice. One I've been building since 2019 with women across Pennsylvania who were just tired of being at war with themselves.
Boudoir may seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.
Before I ever picked up a camera for boudoir, I booked a self-love boudoir session for myself. I wanted to know what it actually felt like to stand in front of a lens and just exist in your body. And honestly, it changed something in me.
I have my own insecurities. My own complicated history with the mirror. I know what it feels like to look at yourself and only see everything you wish were different.
But I also know what it feels like when something starts to shift. And I have watched that shift happen for women in this space over and over again.
That's what keeps me coming back. The stories we share, the music we blast, the moment we get a shot and you see yourself the way I've been seeing you the whole time. That's the whole thing right there.
Boudoir is just as healing for me as it is for you. So let's pick a date and create something that's just for you.
YOU JUST HAVE TO SHOW UP AND BE YOURSELF
You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to own lingerie. You don't need to show up confident - that's what the session is for. What you do need is to show up, and I'll take care of the rest.
I'll guide you through every moment, from how to stand to what to wear, so you're never left wondering what to do with your hands or whether you brought the right outfit. We'll go through everything together before we even pick up a camera.
And the whole time? We're laughing, we're talking, we're making something that actually feels like you. Not a version of you that performed for the camera - just you, on a really good day.

Some kind words from some of my favorite badass women:
I did a shoot with Alicia and she was so welcoming. It was one of my first times getting my photos taken by a professional and she made it so easy to pose and get natural shots! I definitely recommend Alicia for any and all of your photography needs! She is a wonderful person and does beautiful work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW EXPOSED DO I NEED TO BE FOR A BOUDOIR SESSION?!
As exposed as you choose to be. In my head, there are no rules for how much exposure qualifies as boudoir. You can show up in a sweater and undies and we will rock the shit out of your session.
What if I have no idea how to pose?!
That’s where I come in babe! I’ll help you through posing that looks and feels natural for you to create photos that fit the overall vibe of your session - whether that’s fun-loving or sexy - we got this!
Will you help me choose outfits?
Heck yes! I love working with my boudoir clients to choose outfits they feel comfortable and confident in. The more comfortable and confident you feel, the sexier you’ll feel.
Will my photos be shared on the internet?
Only if you give me the green light to share them! Otherwise I will never share any of your boudoir photos without your consent.
Where will my session take place?
I rent a private studio in York, PA for all studio sessions, so the space is entirely ours for the time we're together. We also have the option to take things outside depending on the experience you're looking for.
