I know what it’s like to doubt your beauty or hide from the camera, I’ve been there too. That’s why I built a studio where you can finally see yourself through eyes of love, not judgment. My approach blends honest direction, luxury styling, and deep intention behind every image. My goal is simple: that moment when you look at your portraits and whisper, “Damn, that’s me?” — and believe it!
Your new boudie bestie
Hi! I'm Nicole
created my studio for the woman who’s spent years putting everyone else first and is finally ready to feel seen again. Every session is a celebration of your story; a chance to reconnect with your confidence, your beauty, and the version of you that’s always been there.
I
Fun facts about me:
1. I’ve photographed on all seven continents, and no matter where I travel, confidence looks beautiful in every language.
2. 90s R&B and hip-hop are my love language, if you hear a little Mariah or TLC during your session, just know the vibe is right.
3. I start every editing session with a decaf tea, with cream and sugar (non-negotiable).
4. I’m equal parts hype woman and awkward human. You’ll see both. I’ll probably lose my camera at least five times, but we’ll laugh the entire way through it.
The studio
The studio is a cozy, boutique-style space in the Washington, DC area, filled with rich colors, velvet couches, soft light, and and a warm, inviting vibe. Every detail is designed to help you relax, feel confident, and have that “damn, that’s me?” moment in front of the camera
What These Boudoir Babes Are Saying
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. Nicole's eye, her professionalism, and the way she makes you feel comfortable and empowered is unmatched. If you’re considering it (PLEASE) do it. This experience is a gift to yourself that lasts long after the shoot is over!
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!
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.
You Deserve the best
I spend much of my time every year taking classes to better my skills and fine tune my photography and posing to give you the very best boudoir session you deserve.
