a little somethin’ about me.

Hey there, I’m Paige (she/her). I am a portrait and boudoir photographer based in the heartside of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

It was my introduction to pole dancing in 2016 that led me to discover a passion for intimate boudoir, pole dance, and aerial dance photography. The experience of spending time with myself and others in a vulnerable and physically engaged environment helped me appreciate our inherent beauty and our ability to express ourselves.

My style focuses on creating an energetic and comfortable atmosphere during every session. Through physical movement, self-expression prompts, and casual conversation, I help my clients feel confident and empowered. It is my mission to make you feel and look fucking fantastic! Which isn't difficult, because you're you. It is my honor to support you as you connect with your body in front of the camera [in whatever way works for you].

In addition to being a photographer, and someone you can be your true self around, I am also a single mother, antique enthusiast, kink-positive cutie, and co-founder of Midwest Movement Collective - an adult dance studio in GR dedicated to promoting community and diversity through pole dance, aerial arts, and movement!

How far in advance should I schedule a session?
Your plans and expectations will determine the answer to this question! I generally recommend scheduling your shoot 2-3 months in advance if you need the photos by a specific date (for example, for a wedding or anniversary). Editing can take 3-5 weeks, so you should plan to wait at least one month until you see your photos. Likewise, if you wish to have a finished album, we need another month or two to design, revise, print, bind, and ship that final product to you. Feel free to schedule at your convenience if you do not have any deadlines!

Where do photo sessions take place?
Your photoshoot location can be tailored to reflect your vision and style preferences. The majority of boudoir sessions take place at an indoor studio in Grand Rapids. I often offer speciality sessions on location and/or outside. Sessions outside of GR may incur an additional fee.

How do I prepare for my session?
Easy! Every client who books a session with me is provided with a link to my online preparation guide. You'll receive tips on how to prepare for your session, what to expect during the session, outfit recommendations, and a lot of encouragement! In addition, you have the option of adding a 'Pre-shoot Video Consultation' before the shoot to get to know one another and discuss ideas together.
