You won't believe the messages I get from women and men after their sessions. They start out exactly like you - scrolling through Instagram late at night, wondering if they should take the plunge. Now they're sending me texts like "Girl, why did I wait so long to do this?!"

These boudoir sessions attract women, men, and couples from all across the DMV area, including Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. From my DC lawyer who finally let her hair down, to my Bethesda mama who rediscovered herself beyond the minivan life, to my Fairfax bride who decided this was her moment to shine - every woman walks out of my studio with that "I can't believe that's me" smile.

Want to hear what really happens in my studio? Scroll down to read some unfiltered stories from women who've been where you are right now. They'll tell you how it actually feels to work with me (spoiler alert: less like a photoshoot, more like hanging with your hype-woman bestie).

And hey, while you're here, why not peek at my behind-the-scenes videos? You'll see exactly how we turn those first-time jitters into "when can we do this again?" moments.

    "As a same gender couple, we were openly celebrated"

    My partner and I did a couple’s photo shoot with Nicole and not only did we have so much fun, we were really pleased with the photos as well! This was way out of my comfort zone and Nicole made me feel so comfortable and affirmed. She was a great director for an amateur like me! She had a wide variety of poses for us to try and captured some sexy, candid and special moments for us! As a same gender couple, we were openly celebrated. Nicole is professional and talented! We can’t wait to do our next shoot!

    "When I saw the final images, I couldn't believe it was me!"

    I recently had an incredible boudoir session with Nicole that left me feeling like a total goddess! Seriously, from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and professionalism. She knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable and confident. Nicole gave me guidance on poses throughout our session, allowing me to feel comfortable to express myself in ways I haven't seen on camera. When I saw the final images, I couldn't believe it was me! I looked stunning, sexy, and full of life. This experience has given me a renewed sense of self-appreciation. I left that session feeling like a million bucks!

    Nicole is an amazing photographer! Her personality is super comforting and very professional. I am very awkward when it comes to knowing how to pose but her simple directions helped turn my photos into fire! I love all the pictures. It is so hard to choose!! Thank you Nicole. I will definitely be back!!!

    "I’ve never felt more sexy & empowered!"

    I had an absolute blast during my boudoir photo shoot with Nicole! She was a consummate professional from the moment I arrived to the location (which was beautiful, btw) and made me feel welcomed and beyond comfortable throughout the entire experience. She patiently demonstrated each pose for me and was extremely positive & encouraging as I executed them. She is truly talented at what she does, and I’ve never felt more sexy & empowered! I most certainly look forward to working with her again in the near future, and have shared the experience with a few girlfriends (they plan to book her as well)! Definitely choose Nicole Griffin photography for your boudoir session…you won’t be disappointed!!

    "After a few minutes, I felt like I was catching up with a friend"

    Having a boudoir shoot with Nicole was life changing. This was my first ever shoot period and I came in feeling a bit nervous, but after a few minutes, I felt like I was catching up with a friend. The shoot was so fun, with a banging soundtrack to set the mood. I am looking forward to having another shoot with Nicole, her eye for detail is amazing. Not every photographer can do boudoir. Work with her if you ever get the chance!

  • "BELIEVE IN THE VISION"

    I recently had the absolute pleasure of doing my FIRST boudoir photoshoot with Nicole Griffin Photography.

    She does a great job getting you mentally prepared to have a beautiful, empowering, self confident shoot. All the prep work before my shoot made me feel confident during the shoot. I arrived to my shoot and reviewed my outfits with Nicole, then I sat and got my makeup done. OMG the makeup artist made me feel absolutely stunning. Once we start to get into the actual photoshoot, Nicole was amazing. Her professionalism was top tier!!! She helped pose me by showing me what pose to do and verbally giving me cues to "point my toe a little more" or "arch my back more". To be honest the poses felt pretty strangle but BELIEVE IN THE VISION!
