Meet Your Photographer & Make-Up Artist

Marla & Stefani


If you’re feeling ready to or even just interested in having a Cincinnati boudoir session, you may just need help figuring out what the next steps are and that’s where I come in. Together we’ll make your boudoir dreams take flight and create an environment where you are able to let go of your insecurities and fears.

There’s a good chance you’re here because you’re curious and passionate.  All women have questions when embarking on their boudoir journey. If you’re feeling a little bit overwhelmed, intimidated, and/or talking yourself out of doing a boudoir session, I feel you.

But through these women, I have seen huge changes not only physically but emotionally, I’ve stood in amazement seeing their transformations. I understand the power of what a boudoir session can do for you!


About Marla:

In 2000, my then-husband gave me a film camera and classes to a local photography school. In 2004, my husband left me and I was facing a new life with my two small children. Not one to sit around and feel sorry for myself, I took that camera and applied everything I learned to create something out of the passion I had for photography.

I slowly built a business around this passion, marketed my services, and transformed from a newbie photographer to a savvy entrepreneur.

Four years later, I married the most patient, loving, wonderful man.  Not only that but he is an amazing businessman.  Together we’ve grown my business from all shooting everything from babies to weddings on location to boutique boudoir photographer with a studio of my own.

I love the location of my Cincinnati boudoir studio because it’s home for me. Montgomery, Ohio is where I grew up and I’m so happy to be working in such a wonderful location surrounded by parks and beautiful homes.

About Stefani:

Stefani is a licensed cosmetologist who began her career in 2002. Over the past 15 years, she’s had the pleasure of working with countless brides, models and boudoir clients all over the country.

Stefani’s talents are highly sought after. She has mastered HD makeup, brow threading, eyelash extensions and beyond. Her passion for teaching others the art of hair and makeup led her to create the first makeup academy in Ohio. In her licensed salon, she teaches hands-on classes for individuals and groups. She is quite popular for her private makeup lessons.

Stefani’s passion is evident when she says, ” I find fulfillment in seeing the look on someone’s face when I finish doing makeup. I truly see beauty in every person, and I LOVE to bring it out with my simple applications. To me…it’s not about the makeup or my skills…it’s about creating a moment that builds self-worth”.

In her free time, Stefani can be found spending time with her husband and baby boy.
