What clients are saying about Phena 8
S. Blackstone
It was so much easier than I thought it would be! Chelle walked me through the entire process, checking my hair down to my toes. The finished photos turned out beautiful!
M. Halveston
I need to do this again! I felt so relaxed and spoiled! I'm floored at what a difference the hair and make-up made. I'll admit it, I cried when I saw myself, like seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in forever!
B. Ridgefield
Originally, I wanted to do this as a gift for my husband. During the session, we talked about the importance of doing this for me, and you were absolutely right! I'm in love with my photos!

BEHIND THE CAMERA
My name is Chelle and I'm a photographer in northern Maryland. Boudoir photography began when I planned a Screw You 42 boudoir shoot to capture a personal milestone. I was nervous to see the photos because as a woman I'm used to the world telling me I'm too this, too that, and not enough of a lot of things. But what I saw was a rare glimpse of myself - intimate, vulnerable, and real. I wanted to shout out to every woman I knew to plan this experience for themselves.
It's been an honor to take photos of women from 23 to 63 in just about every shape and size. Sessions with Phena 8 are about capturing the charm that lives in crooked crowns and imperfect brows. They are about tapping back into the unique magic and grace of textured sensuality and rich femininity - like appreciating warm fuzzy sweaters on autumn afternoons and the sound of deep cello on the radio while driving under the stars.
When you awaken an awareness of all of your senses, you radiate a glowing spark of sensuality. I want to help women reconnect to a side of themselves that may be buried beneath the daily grind of boardrooms, grocery lists, and sippy cups. Indulge in a luxury photography experience, where the focus is completely on YOU ~
HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHAT DOES IT COST?
We start with an initial Zoom consult where we geek out on styles, outfits, hair, and make-up. I'll also send you a complete prep guide, a posing and lingerie guide, and a FAQ page that answers questions right down to what color you might want your nails to be.
Photoshoots usually take 2 - 3 hours and pricing begins at $299. I have private sessions in my Westminster, MD location or we can plan for off-site locations.
