THE PHOTOGRAPHER

My name is Marissa, and I’m the photographer behind Bella Boudoir, Southwest Virginia’s premier and longest running boudoir photography studio. Based in Roanoke, Virginia and Virginia Beach, I love to capture timeless intimate portraiture for women, men, and couples all over the southeast, but am available to travel anywhere!

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe that every body is uniquely beautiful. I capture sexy, flattering portraits for men and women of all ages and body types, and cater to your definition of “sexy” for results you will not only be comfortable with, but LOVE. While some may seek to do this to create a personal, romantic gift for their significant other, it is meant to encourage and empower you. We are redefining what it means to be sexy.

Prior to any shooting, we will meet for a personal consultation and design your session. Once your session is booked, you will receive our information packet, which contains details on what to expect and how to prepare for your session.

THE EXPERIENCE

Prior to shooting, we discuss your style, personality, hair and makeup, and the look you want to convey. After your session is booked, you will receive our information packet, which contains details on what to expect and how to prepare for your session.

Your session is catered to your comfort level. Bring lingerie and/or clothing in which you feel beautiful, or play dress up using our client closet! During your session, you are guided through poses to capture flattering angles regardless of your body type.

Within one week of your session, we will schedule a private screening. Once you have selected your desired images, your order will be created. We ask that you give us up to two weeks from your session date to complete your order, so keep this in mind when scheduling your session and ordering prints or an album as gifts.
