Meet the Photographer

Photographer - Sarah

Primary Photographer/Owner

Sarah is the founder and owner of Grand Rapids Boudoir. She has been working as a photographer full time since 2011.  Looking to add more services into her business, she decided to jump into the boudoir world in 2020 right before the Covid crisis hit. While waiting to go back to work after being shut down she invested her time and thousands of dollars into doing it the right way. Building a studio, collecting a client closet, and investing in education so she could provide the best and safest experience possible. Since then she has grown the boudoir business tremendously, expanding the studio, starting an all female boudoir Facebook group, and growing her clientele.

When coming up with her own style for boudoir photography, she noticed that most work in the boudoir world isn't tailored to each client. That was something she knew she wanted to stray from. While doing research she found a couple photographers online that she could learn and take inspiration from. Her work has since evolved into her own distinct style, using elaborate sets, creative color choices, in-camera practical effects, and a focus on dynamic lighting.

To Sarah, it's not just about taking photos.

"My favorite part of my job is helping my clients see how truly beautiful and unique they are."

Sarah's priority will always be the clients. When you're in the studio, you are always the main focus. Her attention to detail shows her knowledge for her craft but its her personality and professionalism that eases all nerves you may have had before the shoot. The reaction to the images she creates never ceases to surprise her. Since starting the business she has seen how boudoir can change someone's life and how its changed hers.

"Whether it’s for the first time or a happy reminder, the confidence gained within the studio walls is so powerful."
