we are a full-service luxury studio
We believe in celebrating the human body as a work of art. This means we take our time with each individual client crafting an experience from the start in hopes to carry those memories through generations to come. Dare I say the experience is the purpose and the images are just proof it happened. Oh, and your only capability to relive it again + again... As artists, of course we believe in preserving your images + showcasing the art outside of a hard-drive somewhere to never be seen again. But we also work very hard to tailor a custom + quality experience that is transformative + revitalizing.
I know personally how important it is to preserve the very nature of a moment. This moment. I, too, remember vividly what it did + still does for me every time I look at my portfolio.
If you value printing over stowing away your memories on a thumb drive, you've come to the right place. CORRESPONDING digital images will be included with the purchase of your products.
We understand Boudoir is a luxury service, so we work hard to produce just that. But, it's more than a service. It's an experience. Boudoir changed my life. Now, I have devoted my career to doing the same for other women. That's why we offer multiple packages and products to fit most any budget; ranging anywhere from $400-$4000. On average, our clients spend around $1500 on their overall experience, but every client is different. I don't believe in pushy sales schemes, so I price my packages to reflect my service + worth and you decide the rest.
Most of our clients book a few months in advance to take full advantage of the preparation process and payment plan.
My Personal Experience; life-changing.

Testimonials
“When I reached out to Kortney about a boudoir session, I did not what it would do for me mentally. I thought, "Hey if I like the pictures, I may feel attractive again." However, my experience was so much more than that. Kortney + Patience really helped me find my inner beauty and encouraged me not to be ashamed of my body. They gave me a sense of power I didn't realize was missing. These women make you feel strong, fearless, resilient AND sexy... I could've walked out of there in my birthday suit!”
—Tiffany
“My experience with KBP was better than I could've ever imagined and wished for. I was super nervous going into this shoot as it was wayyy out of my comfort zone. As soon as I arrived I was welcomed and immediately felt I guess you could say, safe. I immediately knew I had chosen the right team for this. My main reason was to gift my fiancé, but leaving I was happy I booked for myself. I left gelling so much more confident in myself and loving my body image more than I ever thought I could.”
—Jadyn
“I've struggled with my body image my whole life; it got even worse after having my son. I hated my body and the way I looked. I decided to book a session with Kortney, not only for myself, but for my fiancé also! Let me tell you, after this shoot I saw myself in a whole different perspective. I've started to love my body + the way I look. My stretch marks, my scars, my chest. I look at these pictures all the time and remind myself I am gorgeous! I loved my experience so much, I've already booked another!”
—Kailey
FAQ
Do you share my images?
A. Our number one priority is privacy! You're in complete control. We don't share anything you don't give us strict permission to share. We go over all the silver lining in the contract to make sure we're on the same page. We also offer a VIP group as an alternative measure to publicly sharing if you choose. You decide!
Do I have to wear lingerie?
A. Definitely not! There are a ton of outfit ideas other than lacy little things! Once booked, you receive our Prep Guide giving you everything from ideas on what to wear to where to buy. You barely have to lift a finger.
Do you have payment plans?
A. We do and you customize the plan! There is a booking retainer to book your shoot, and the balance is due 1 week before the session date! Most of our clients take advantage of this option.
Is hair and makeup included?
A. Hair and makeup is included in all of our boudoir shoots! I think it’s really important for you to feel pampered, and having your hair and makeup done is a great way to do that! Our amazing team can help you complete your look, whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or Full on glam! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup and we can try to use it for inspiration!
Do you Photoshop my images?
A. I do edit your images for light, exposure, and color balance. We also remove some pesky blemishes and soften skin. I do NOT, however, edit anything “out” that is permanent! I think it can be damaging to have a boudoir session done, and then edit out parts of yourself that make you who you are! Part of the process of accepting yourself and seeing your beauty also means not photoshopping out parts of yourself you don’t like. If there are parts of yourself that are learning to love and aren’t thrilled about, that is okay! We are skilled in posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best and brings out your shine!
Where should I buy outfits?
A. Once booked, you will receive a Prep Guide that directs you not only on what to wear, but where to buy. It depends on personality and the style of your shoot. If you are looking for something specific that you can’t find, let me know and I might know just where to get it!
What type of print products do you have?
A. We offer a variety of albums and luxury presentatation boxes with prints in them! I absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print, it’s so surreal to see yourself like that!
”I flip through them regularly, myself, every chance I get. I think I look at them more than he does. It’s a daily reminder that my self-image has completely changed after this experience.” –Justice
Do you offer digitals?
A. Yes. All of our Print Collections include digital images. These digital images come in a password-protected, secure online gallery, for you to download and share!
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
A. Take if from me, nerves are all part of the experience! I always say that it would probably be weird if you WEREN’T nervous. I was. Nervous is ok, as long as you trust the process. The nervousness in the beginning of your shoot make your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first time so much better!
How many outfits should I bring?
A. 3-5 outfits is standard. I am not too picky about this, as long as we're realistic in the amount of time and understand wardrobe changes can effect the amount of active shoot time. I always say to bring more if you can’t decide and I will help you direct you and narrow down if need be!
Where is your studio located?
A. The Minimalist Package takes place at our studio in Historic, Downtown Joplin at 1611 S. Main.
Of course you can upgrade to the Private, Victorian Suite at La Rose Blanche.
