A PIECE OF ART

elevated BOUDOIR EMBODYING & INSPIRING confidence

For discerning women who embrace their independence, own their sensuality, and live unapologetically.

AN artful CELEBRATION OF you

I get it. Stepping in front of the camera, especially in a boudoir photoshoot, is intimidating, but you’re in expert hands. As an all-female team, I’ll guide you into intuitive poses that feel authentic, and true to who you are. In this space, you can let go, embrace your moment, and see yourself in a new light.

I create minimalist, evocative, artistic imagery that reflects your unique feminine expression: bold, discrete, daring, soft, or a bit everything. You decide.

My private natural light-filled boudoir studio is located in Benicia, CA.

When a woman finally learns that pleasing the world is impossible, she becomes free to learn how to please herself.

meet 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.

HOW IT WORKS

during

You’ll meet with your Make Up Artist. Play music in the background to help ease the jitters. After makeup is done, Rosa will gently guide you through poses + be your biggest hype woman.

When finished with shooting, you’ll pick your photos. Your beautifully retouched photos will be delivered 2 weeks after your shoot. Physical products will be delivered within 4-6 weeks.
