DC BOUDOIR Photographer
for women
celebrating their bodies
Washington DC Boudoir Photography Experience
Serving Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia in a private Baltimore studio
AIBP Best of Boudoir winner.
Two time PPA IPC image award recipient.
As an award winning DC boudoir photographer, I help women rediscover the parts of themselves they have been taught to hide.
From professional hair and makeup to expert posing guidance, every detail of your boudoir photography experience serving Washington DC clients is designed to help you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated.
You’ll see yourself differently. Not as who you should be, but as the woman you already are. The one who finally looks at her photos and says, “Damn, that’s me!?”
This isn’t just about photos. It’s about rewriting the stories you’ve been told about your body and seeing your beauty reflected back with truth, power, and pride. Every session is designed to help you feel grounded, confident, and seen, exactly as you are!
A Private Experience, Designed for You
Washington DC women are driven, accomplished, and used to showing up polished for everyone else. You curate your image carefully -- at work, online, in every room you walk into.
But somewhere in the middle of all of that, the way you see yourself privately stopped matching the woman the world sees. This session is for her. The one who has earned this, who is ready to stop waiting until she's a smaller size or a less busy season, and who deserves to see herself the way the people who love her already do.
Your session takes place in a private Baltimore studio, by appointment only, with no other clients present. Your images are yours. They are never shared without your expressed written consent -- not on social media, not on this website, nowhere. What you experience here, and what you take home, belongs entirely to you.

Leave feeling like the sexy bad-ass you are
You’ll walk in nervous, excited, almost everyone does! But as the session unfolds, the nerves fade and something new shows up. Confidence. Power. Joy.
You’ll leave with more than photos, you’ll leave knowing exactly who you are!
In addition to being a phenomenal photographer, Nicole’s customer service is top notch! My photos are amazing and she really made me love my body! She made me feel comfortable and I appreciate all of her hard work during our session! I will be booking another session!
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience! My boudoir shoot was truly transformational. For the first time, I saw myself in a soft, feminine, curvy light...and it honestly took my breath away. The photos are beyond beautiful and more than that, they've changed how I see myself.
Yes, she's on the pricier side, but let me tell you, she absolutely knows her worth and delivers every bit of it! Her eye, professionalism, and the way she makes you feel comfortable and empowered is unmatched.
PLEASE do it! This experience is a gift to yourself that lasts long after the shoot is over
I just had a wonderful session with Nicole and had such a great time! She is an incredibly experienced, professional, and sweet photographer. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the shoot and was amazing at giving direction and posing, which made everything feel easy and natural. The photos came out absolutely stunning. I love them! I can’t wait to go back again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.
I love love LOVED everything about my shoot! Nicole made me feel so comfortable from the onset of the photoshoot. I’m self conscious but I was so ready and willing to get the best photos. I felt so beautiful and sexy! Will definitely be using her services again
I wanted to reclaim myself and to see my “sexy;” Nicole Griffin Photography delivered in spades!!! My session was private, I was at ease and my images were so gorgeous I went back, twice, to view them. Nicole involved me in the entire process from initial consultation, to wardrobe, session music and theme. Take the plunge and book a session!
Walking into this photoshoot, I was nervous and unsure of how I would feel, but from the very first moment, Nicole made me feel completely at ease.
For the first time in so long, I didn’t feel self-conscious. I felt seen, valued, and worthy. I felt beautiful.
She gave me back a part of myself I thought I had lost. Looking at the images, I cried happy tears because I could finally see myself through her lens: whole, powerful, and truly beautiful.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER MORE. I was so impressed by Nicole. What I loved was Nicole's perspective on body image. I had HOMEWORK. She had me doing affirmations DAILY for the 2 weeks leading up to our session. I was not expecting that level of care and concern for my perspective of the photoshoot. I genuinely feel a perspective shift. Nicole also made sure to make me feel comfortable to talk about my boundaries and even positively show off areas that I had concerns over. I feel more empowered now than I have in years. She is worth the investment.
What an experience!!!! Ladies, this is a must! I can’t really find the words to describe my experience with Nicole. But trust and believe it was amazing! Fantastic! I still feel like a million dollars after our session. I’m thinking I want to do this again. She was so sweet and professional. Held multiple conversations before and during to loosen me up. Was very encouraging and approve throughout the session. Book her, you will not be disappointed!
My session with Nicole was unforgettable. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely myself. The best part is the album. I keep it proudly on display at home and love showing it to anyone who visits. Every time I flip through it, I’m reminded of how much of a badass I am
I LOVE my photos. My husband does too. I look so hot and I cannot stop smiling every time I see them. I already cannot wait to have another session with Nicole!
Working with Nicole is an absolute dream!
She is such a warm, genuine human being; the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease the moment you walk into the room. She has this beautiful way of lifting you up, guiding you gently, and creating a space where you feel completely comfortable being yourself.
Throughout the entire session, she reminds you of how beautiful, powerful, and sexy you truly are, in a way that feels authentic and deeply affirming. Her energy, care, and eye for capturing confidence make the experience so much more than a photo shoot…it’s empowering, healing, and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have been thinking about doing a boudoir session, there is usually a deeper reason behind it. Most of my clients walk in feeling nervous or unsure and leave seeing themselves in a completely different way. This experience is about confidence, ownership of your body, and finally doing something that is fully for you. Many women tell me afterward they wish they had done it sooner.
Feeling nervous is completely normal. Almost every client tells me this beforehand. You are fully guided the entire time. I demonstrate each pose, coach you through movement, and create a calm, judgment free environment so you never feel awkward or unsure. You do not have to show up confident. That is part of what we build together.
Absolutely. You are never expected to know how to pose yourself. I guide you step by step through flattering, natural movements and demonstrate everything first. My job is to make this feel easy and comfortable so you can relax and actually enjoy the experience.
Not at all. Boudoir is not one size fits all. Some clients love lingerie, while others prefer an oversized shirt, a silky robe, a fitted dress, or cozy layers that still feel sensual. Your session is customized around your comfort level and personal style.
I photograph women (as well as some men) of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Boudoir is not reserved for one body type or one stage of life. Your session is tailored to flatter your unique features and highlight what makes you feel your best.
Your privacy is extremely important to me. As a trusted DC boudoir photographer serving clients across Maryland and Northern Virginia, I never share images without your expressed written consent. Many clients choose to keep their photos completely private, and that choice is always respected. My private second-floor Baltimore studio is appointment-only with no other clients present, so you never have to worry about running into anyone. You can arrive, exhale, and focus entirely on yourself.
Look for a boudoir photographer whose work makes you feel something and whose clients look comfortable and confident, not stiff or overly posed. If you have found yourself searching for a boudoir photographer near me or a DC boudoir photographer, pay close attention to how well the photographer guides clients and communicates before the session. The right fit should make you feel excited and at ease before you even step into the studio.
Boudoir photography investments vary widely depending on the photographer and what's included. At Nicole Griffin Photography, your session fee is $550 and includes professional hair and makeup, expert posing guidance from start to finish, and your fully guided photography session. Your images are selected at a same-day reveal appointment and are sold separately. Most Nicole Griffin Photography clients ultimately invest between $3,000 and $5,000 in their photographs and heirloom artwork. However, the minimum image investment is $1,300. Flexible payment plans and buy now pay later options are available.
No two bodies are the same and my goal is to show you how amazing you are.
