You’re the Minimalist muse.🌱

You don’t need more. You just need space to be seen.

You don’t need bold colors or loud outfits to make a statement. Your presence speaks for itself, and your quiet confidence is magnetic. Honestly, you’re a girl after my own heart.

You Might Be Feeling:

  • Like you’ve changed in ways that are hard to explain, but you want to honor them

  • Unsure if you’re “the type” to do a boudoir shoot, but you’re curious

  • Drawn to something calm, grounded, and intentional

  • Like you just want to feel at home in your skin again.

It’s scary to call attention to yourself and to admit that you’re ready to be seen when you’re used to hiding behind others. But you’ve done the work to recognize that you deserve to show up for yourself as much as you do for others, and this is the next step in your healing.

  • Absolutely. Honestly, almost everyone says that. Boudoir is about you are you are, not some overdone version. Muses often create the most moving images, and we’ll capture you personality and unique sensuality.

  • YES. Your styling will reflect you. Minimal makeup, bare skin, natural light — we’ll make it feel like you. Honestly, this is where I’m at my best.

  • You don’t need to feel confident before you arrive. You’ll be gently guided into comfort as you nail your poses and we chat about how you need to see yourself.

What a Minimalist Muse Session Feel Like

Think clean lines, natural light, intentional movement. A session rooted in calm and natural beauty grounded in strength. There’s nothing performative here — just you, as you already are.

📸 Many Muses choose timeless outfits—neutral bodysuits, simple lingerie, white sheets, or cozy knits—and opt for black-and-white or softly lit portraits. Clean. Striking. Real.

What’s Included In Your Experience

Your session includes everything you need to feel fully supported from start to finish. As a full-service studio, part of the luxury is that there isn’t much you need to do besides trust the process.

  • Pre-shoot planning and styling guidance

  • Natural, elevated makeup and hairstyling in the studio

  • A fully-guided session in my Nashville studio

  • Expert posing (for real, I’ve got you every step of the way)

  • In-person image reveal and ordering appointment

  • High-end artwork and handmade heirloom albums

  • Album and artwork is sold separately. Investment begins at $685

I’m Caley, your Nashville Boudoir Photographer

As a Millennial who grew up taking all the teen magazine quizzes (and who still can’t resist a good BuzzFeed one on occasion), creating this quiz felt like a natural way to connect. It’s not always easy to speak to everyone at once on a website, especially when you don’t know whether they’re grieving, celebrating, healing, or simply feeling themselves and want to document it. I wanted it to show that there are so many reasons someone might choose to do a boudoir session.

I know how intimidation a boudoir experience can feel, but with the right photographer, it becomes empowering, healing, and, honestly, just really fun. I’ll never assume why you’re here or what you’re looking for. That’s why we have real conversations before we even get started. For me, the mental part of boudoir is just as important as the final images.

My studio is in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood. I rented the space for four years before purchasing it three years ago because, to me, it’s the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and privacy. I also live just four blocks away with my husband and our cats.

No matter how long I do this work, I’m constantly amazed that each woman I work with impacts me. We women are so strong and amazing, and each of you reminds me that, when I’m in a funk, I can pick up my camera, take my pants off, and remember what it feels like to truly see myself again.

I want that for you, too.
