THE SPACE

AN artful CELEBRATION OF you

INTENTIONAL & YOURS

Located in Benicia, CA – Serving the Bay Area

Her by Rosa studio is intentionally minimal, filled with soft light, a clean aesthetic, and space to breathe.

This is not your typical photoshoot backdrop.
It’s a calm, private environment where you’ll feel safe, guided, and in control.

Known as one of the best Bay Area boudoir studios, it’s a space where women feel at ease being seen.

THE EXPERIENCE

You don’t need to know how to do this.

Most women walk in nervous. That’s expected. You won’t be left figuring it out.

What you’ll get:

  • Calm, clear direction. Never stiff. No raunchy/outdated posing. No posing that doesn’t feel like you.

  • A relaxed pace that puts your comfort first.

  • Artistic boudoir images that feel natural and celebrate your feminine side.

Led by one of the best female boudoir & portrait photographers in the Bay Area, each session is tailored to you.

No pressure. Just presence. A dose of fun.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

I am Rosa—a professional boudoir and portrait photographer for women, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a proud Latina immigrant and an older daughter who loves taking care of others.

My mission is to represent women of every color, shape & size. By inviting them to lean into an exhilarating experience that’s all about them, in a space where they are fully accepted. A safe space to break away from everyday life, to create stunning photos of themselves.

WHY WOMEN BOOK

You Don’t Need a Reason—But Here Are a Few

  • Turning 30, 40, 50 or any milestone birthday

  • Healing or celebrating a breakup or divorce

  • Want to celebrate a new chapter

  • Giving a meaningful gift to yourself or someone else

  • Or… you’re simply done waiting for the “right time”

This is more than just a photoshoot. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.
