What is BOUDOIR photography?
Boudoir photography is an artistic photography style that captures intimate and sensual images of a person. It focuses on the subject's personality and features, giving you the freedom to choose outfits, hair and makeup styling, overall feel and artistry, and even poses.
CELEBRATE & EMBRACE your entire being with portraits that reflect the human condition and experience like no other.
It's time to treat yourself to this life-changing boudoir photography in Michigan!
Your life is a journey and that should be reflected in photos

Pre-session Prep & Homework
Professional Guidance on Clothing & Posing
Before we do the actual shoot, we provide tools to help you prepare emotionally, mentally, and logistically! We want to hear about your ideas too. Bring out your Pinterest vision board or journal notes, and we will brainstorm to craft the perfect concept for your session. This is no cookie-cutter approach here! The pre-shoot consultation will cover all of the creative and technical aspects of your booking and help you feel prepared and more excited for your boudoir photos!
You don't necessarily have to buy new clothes. However, this is a great time to pamper yourself, so we have a Client Guide complete with suggested sites for your boudoir wardrobe. I'll also give you lots of tips on how to project yourself in front of the camera. I'll coach you with authentic body language guidance, facial expressions, and even breathing! As a professional-trained boudoir photographer in West Michigan, it's my job to make you feel safe so that you can get lost in yourself.

Learn the Importance of Making Time for Yourself
It is NOT our job to tell you how to feel about your body. We have clients who want to embrace their bodies in all the ways, celebrating stretch marks, scars, and the changes of life. We have others who ask to be photographed in a body-conscious style. We each hold a different space for that relationship with self. The post-processing of final images depends on your preferences. Whether you want minimal retouching or full-blown editing, we'll follow your requests to perfection. (Please note: certain levels of retouching may incur additional costs)
The pre-session journey is equally vital as the shoot, so we'll give you lots of tips on how to pamper yourself before the shoot to feel excited! Whether it's a spa day or day-off at home to read your favorite book, we encourage you to take a breather so your body and mind will be more relaxed for the shoot. The homework our clients do, helps train your brain on ways to think more positively about yourself, celebrate YOU, and get more deeply connected with your being in so many ways.
I'm excited for you to experience a full-service Michigan boudoir photography session!

“This experience with Betsy has been like stretching out on a thin limb, but after letting go and trusting her to capture the real me, it has been, singularly, the kindest thing I've ever done for myself.”
— Rochelle, Michigan boudoir photography client

Meet Betsy McCue, Your Professional Boudoir Photographer in Michigan
- MODERN-DAY STORYTELLER
- BELIEVER IN CARPE DIEM
- ADVENTURE SEEKER
I've been a professional photographer for nearly two decades, but I have reinvented myself and my boudoir photography studio in Mid-Michigan to reflect what I believe is my true purpose on this planet.
After going through a significant life change in 2016 when I lost my life & business partner, I learned how precious life could be. Taking time to heal and work on myself, I traveled the world with my camera shooting for myself for a year. I've brought many lessons about getting in touch with myself during that time into a unique photo journey for my clients.

My Boudoir Photography Mission in West Michigan
My goal is to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Whether for yourself, family life, or personal branding, each story will be about YOU! My work revolves around meaningful storytelling through photos that you will cherish forever.
I’ve been on the self-exploration journey and done the work that many of my clients embark on. Through my personal work on rebuilding myself and my life after loss, I have learned many ways to love and celebrate myself, my womanhood, and the present moment.
My life experiences have given me a truly unique perspective on how I see the light. Finding the light in the darkness is part of how I'm wired now, and boudoir photography is my tool to illustrate where they intersect and exist in a delicate balance.
