Hey Gorgeous
I’m Veronica, your boudoir photographer and ultimate hype woman!
I know what it’s like to feel vulnerable and uncomfortable in your own skin. I have those insecurities too, and after four of my own boudoir sessions (each uplifting and exhilarating in their own way), I crave to share the magic that is boudoir with every woman I encounter. This is why I approach each session tailored uniquely to the woman in front of my camera. My mission is to make you feel safe, seen, heard, and empowered and to show you how beautiful you are RIGHT NOW, AS YOU ARE.
Boudoir is an experience that EVERY WOMAN deserves!
“My shoot with Golden Mean Boudoir surpassed all my expectations. From start to finish Veronica went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable, confident, and sexy. I enjoyed every moment of the session. Veronica is dedicated to her craft and her work reflects her incredible talent. She is also one of the kindest souls you will ever meet-if you’re debating doing a boudoir shoot, know that you are in the best hands with Veronica :)”

It’s absolutely natural to feel overwhelmed by the idea of posing nearly naked in front of a stranger. I totally understand! Your boudoir session should be an uplifting and empowering experience. That’s why I insist that we meet before booking your session! You can ask me all the questions you have and we get to know one another.
I’m here every step of the way, from planning your shoot, to helping you with outfits, to designing your gorgeous artwork with you.
-
We truly believe that you are gorgeous JUST as you are. Hair + Makeup is a complementary part of every session so that you have time to unwind and indulge in the ultimate boudoir experience. Let my hair & makeup artists work their magic as they highlight your gorgeous features! Come with your hair washed and dry & a clean, makeup-free face. If there are certain looks you love, bring your inspiration!
-
Soon after you book your session we will send you our comprehensive wardrobe guide that will give you all the details on how to look and feel absolutely amazing for your session. Our policy is always "when in doubt, bring it"! Most sessions will include 2-3 outfits, so it's not uncommon for our clients to show up with a bag full of stuff! Once you arrive at the studio we'll hang all of your pieces and help you narrow down your selections
Our wardrobe guide also includes a list of places to shop! We know the world of lingerie can be overwhelming so we do our very best to take as much stress off of you as possible. It gives you direct links to all of our favorite lingerie retailers and their price points.
If you’re still completely indecisive or stumped, we can absolutely add on a wardrobe consultation and styling session to your experience.
-
First, just know that you are in great hands. Your session will never be rushed and we will walk through all the details and instruction before I even pick up the camera. I know that this is a huge step, and posing you is my job! So we’ll walk through breathing exercises and I’ll pose you down to your fingertips!
I've been trained in the Stripped Down Methodology which helps me to direct and coach you to achieve beautiful and emotive images that you'll love!
So how does this all work?
Before your Session
We begin by setting up a Zoom consultation. We’ll chat and get to know each other and you can tell me all about your dream boudoir experience. During your consultation we’ll look at our calendars and choose a date for your session! We recommend booking at least 6-8 weeks before needing your images / art in hand.
You book your session by paying our session fee and signing the contract.
Prepare for an empowering experience!
You might feel a bit nervous before your session and like you’re not ready. It is my job to ensure that you feel amazing, safe, supported, and 100% comfortable to explore and celebrate yourself. If this is your first time doing this type of session, or being in front of the camera, it’s ok to be nervous! In addition to our detailed prep guide, I’m here to answer any questions you may have before your session day!
Your Session Day
We’ll get started in Hair and Makeup which is a complementary part of your boudoir experience. This is the perfect time to unwind, and really let it sink in, YOU’RE DOING THIS! Get excited because it only gets better from here!
We’ll help you select your outfits and then start our shooting portion of the day. If you’re still feeling nervous that’s OK! I’ll guide you the entire time, from showing you how to pose, what to do with your hands, and how to breathe through it all!
Your Image Reveal
Literally one of my favorite parts of the experience! Jaws will drop, (happy) tears will be shed, and you will walk away just AMAZED at how stunning you truly are.
At this appointment, you select the images for the collection you pre-purchased. Don’t be surprised if you love them all and want to upgrade your collection! Then once you select your images we will create your gorgeous artwork and design your luxury album.
AN INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF
What you spend is up to you! Some women want a basic album, others invest several thousand on a collection with a variety of products.
Our Investment Menu will be sent to you following the booking process.
That being said, if you're looking for a "quick shoot" or "just a few images," this is not the session for you. I offer a full day experience and show you 50-100 images. I only offer luxury products, because you are worth it. Investing in yourself is priceless. You'll never tire of your images or forget the way the session day made you feel.
I cannot wait to give you this incredible experience!
We Love Our Clients And They Love Us Too!
“Seeing the images from that day reminded me that I have a soft sensuality that I don't often get in touch with. Previous boudoir sessions I have done were meant to exude a more confident and sexual nature, and my session with Golden Mean allowed me to get in touch with a gentler sensuality that is so beautiful to see. I also loved how each set we did was so different from the last. Being able to walk away from one session with a variety of looks was so nice. I loved the overall environment of the studio. Having a private changing area, with beautiful decor and prints all over.”
“Veronica is the sweetest and most accommodating photographer. I was nervous about the experience but she made me feel at ease in my own skin. She allowed me to be my self while also taking control when I was unsure. A huge perk was that the photos delighted my fiancé! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a special treat for themselves or their loved one. I especially love that I have a risqué time capsule tucked away to treasure for all of time.”
“I spent the day feeling like Superwoman... I am wholeheartedly grateful for my experience with Golden Mean Boudoir. I keep my body strong so that I can withstand the labor of love required to make weddings beautiful week after week. I wear sweats and comfortable boots, and don't really have time to care about how my body actually looks as opposed to how it feels. Today I felt totally empowered by my femininity and proud of my body for all that it was. Thank you Veronica for such a wonderful shoot. Today was a treat. Half naked and strong, and totally comfortable in my skin, I loved everything about how I felt today!”
