This session is for you if...

Not everyone who finds me is the same woman. But the ones who book? They usually have at least a few of these things in common.

You're in the right place if
  • You've been thinking about doing this longer than you'd like to admit
  • You want photographs that actually look like you on your best day
  • You're celebrating a birthday, a milestone, or a glow-up you worked hard for
  • You want to give your partner a gift they will not see coming
  • You're documenting this season before it changes
  • You're done being the one behind the camera
You don't need to
  • Lose weight first
  • Already feel sexy or confident
  • Know how to pose
  • Have done anything like this before
  • Be a certain size, age, or shade
  • Feel ready

"The most common thing women say when they walk out of their reveal is: why did I wait so long?"

Hi, I'm Nicole.
Let me tell you what I actually do.

I've photographed more than 300 women from Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Almost every one of them said some version of the same thing before their session: "I'm nervous. I'm not photogenic. I need to lose weight first."

My job isn't to photograph women who already feel confident. It's to guide the women who don't think they are -- and show them what everyone else already sees.

You won't spend a single second wondering what to do. That part is mine.

I'm Ready for my session!

Boudoir photography session at Nicole Griffin Photography

Why I built this studio.

I didn't start out as a boudoir photographer. I started out as a woman who had a complicated relationship with her own body and then picked up a camera and discovered something that changed everything.

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not see what other people see. I know what it feels like to be the one who's always behind the camera because you don't want to be in the frame. I know what it feels like to talk yourself out of something that you've wanted to do for years because you've decided you're not ready yet.

This studio exists because I found out firsthand what happens when you stop waiting.

My job isn't just to take beautiful photographs. It's to put you in an environment where you can't help but see yourself the way I see you -- and the way everyone who loves you already does.

I'll guide every single pose. I'll hype you up the entire time. And when you see your images for the first time, I genuinely cannot wait to watch your face.

What you're
investing in.

One session. One version of you that finally gets to take up space.

Still have questions?

The ones women actually ask before they hit submit.

Yes. Always. Your images are never shared on social media, my website, or in any marketing without your explicit written permission. Many clients keep their images completely private and that choice is fully respected. You decide what happens with your photographs.
Good -- most of my clients haven't. You don't need modeling experience, a certain body type, or any prior photoshoot history. Every pose is physically guided during your session. I'll show you where to put your hands, how to angle your body, what to do with your face. Your job is literally just to show up.
Any size. Clients range from size 0 to size 32. The lighting, posing, and entire session experience is designed around your actual body -- not a hypothetical one. I use skill, lighting, and direction to show you what's already there.
The most normal thing in the world. Most women who walk through that door are nervous. The session is designed to move at your pace. By the time we're 20 minutes in, something shifts. I've watched it happen hundreds of times. The nervousness means it matters to you -- and that's exactly the energy that makes the best images.
My private, appointment-only studio is in Baltimore, Maryland. Easily accessible from Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Reston, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, and across the DMV. Sessions are available Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Flexible prepayment plans are available weekly, biweekly, or monthly before your session day. You choose your collection before you come in so there are no surprise numbers at your reveal. Cost should not be the reason you keep waiting.
The sooner the better for your preferred date. If you need a custom album for a specific date, plan for at least 8 to 10 weeks since albums take 6 to 8 weeks to manufacture. If your timeline is tighter, reach out and we'll figure out what's still possible.
No. Your comfort level is the only thing that matters. Some clients go fully implied, some stay in lingerie the entire session, some wear an oversized shirt and that's it. We talk through what feels right during your planning call. Nothing is ever pushed or pressured.
