Meet Amy: The Woman Behind Cleveland’s Most Empowering Boudoir Studio

Hey, I’m Amy. And I’m not just your photographer—I’m your hype woman, your mirror, and your reminder that you are already art.

I created Buxom Betty Boudoir to give women and femmes the kind of experience I always wished existed—one where your body isn’t judged, fixed, or filtered, but celebrated. As a plus-size woman who has struggled with body image and self-esteem my whole life, I know exactly what it feels like to be nervous, insecure, and unsure if you’re “enough” for something like this.

That’s why this work means so much to me.

Boudoir changed my life—and now it’s how I give back to the world in my own small, powerful way.

My Story (And Why It Matters to You)

Before I found my way to boudoir, I was a world champion equestrian and later became an internationally published equine sport photographer, capturing both high-stakes and deeply emotional moments in the arena. That experience gave me the technical skill—but stepping into boudoir gave me the purpose.

Today, I’ve photographed over 460 incredible women, many of whom have returned for second and third sessions to celebrate:

• Birthdays

• Maternity journeys

• Promotions and milestones

• Divorce glow-ups

• Weight loss and health transformations

• New relationships

• …or just finally choosing themselves

What Makes Me Different

💄 I do your hair and makeup myself, so we get a full 2 hours to connect, laugh, and build trust before you even step in front of the camera. By the time you're undressing, you’ll feel like you’re hanging out with a friend—not a stranger.

📸 With 20+ years of photography experience, I know how to pose and light every body, every curve, every beautiful nuance. You won’t be left wondering “what do I do with my hands?” I guide you through every moment.

💬 Most of my clients walk in as strangers and leave as friends. This work is deeply emotional, personal, and healing—for both of us. That’s why I show up with my whole heart.

A Bit More About Me...

• I’m a former horse girl who grew up on a farm—mud on my boots and glam in my heart.

• Now I’m a dog mom of two, totally obsessed with my xl pups Hank + Phil.

• I love a good road trip, am travel-obsessed, and believe every plane ticket is a form of self-care.

• You’ll find me at concerts, on my tip toes during the encore and screaming every lyric.

• I live for beauty, fashion, and glam, but I also know how to back a trailer and ride a horse…well.

I’m a walking contradiction in all the best ways: country roots, luxury taste, heart of gold, sailor’s mouth. If that sounds like your vibe—you’re in the right place.

Based in Chagrin Falls, Serving All of Northeast Ohio + beyond

Buxom Betty Boudoir is located just outside of Cleveland, where I offer in-studio and outdoor boudoir sessions with fully personalized themes. Want a waterfall shoot? A motorcycle moment? A cozy cabin fantasy? Let’s make it happen.

“Amy made me feel safe, seen, and sexy. I’ve never experienced anything like it.”

Why Women Over 50 Are the Most Powerful Boudoir Clients I Photograph

Let’s set the record straight: there is no age limit on sensuality, self-love, or boudoir photography.
If anything, my 50+ clients bring more fire, freedom, and fierce confidence to the studio than anyone.

So if you’ve been thinking, “Am I too old for this?”—I want you to hear me loud and clear:
You are in your prime. And boudoir was made for you.

💎 You Know Who You Are—And It Shows

By the time you’re in your 50s, you’ve walked through life, through love, through loss, through so much growth. You’ve earned every ounce of your confidence and softness. That grounded energy comes through powerfully on camera.

👑 You’re Not Here to Impress Anyone

You don’t need approval. You’re not chasing someone else’s idea of sexy.
You’re doing this for you. And when a woman shows up for herself? The images are nothing short of breathtaking.

📸 Yes, Boudoir Is for Your Body, Too

Sagging skin? Stretch marks? Laughter lines? Good. They tell your story.
My job is to highlight your radiance with expert posing, flattering light, and all the glamor you deserve. You don’t need to be “perfect”—you just need to be present.

“I wish I had done this years ago. But I’m so glad I did it now.” – Buxom Betty Client, Age 63

💌 You Deserve to Feel Sexy—At Every Age

Boudoir isn’t about age. It’s about essence. About capturing the spark that lives in you, the story written in your skin, the energy you carry into every room.

And yes—it’s about finally seeing yourself through loving, unfiltered eyes.

💃 Boudoir Over 50: The Boldest Act of Self-Love

This is more than a photoshoot. It’s a reclamation.
It’s saying:
“I’m still here. I’m still radiant. I still get to take up space.”
And you do.

📅 Ready to Celebrate Yourself—Finally?

Let’s honor your beauty, your journey, and your brilliance.

Worried About the Cost of a Boudoir Session? Let’s Talk About What You’re Really Investing In

Let’s be honest—boudoir is a luxury.
But here’s the thing: so are YOU.
And it’s time to stop treating your self-worth like it’s something that has to be discounted.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to do a boudoir session, but I just can’t justify the price…”
Let’s unpack that fear with love, truth, and a little tough sass.

💎 Boudoir Isn’t Just Photos. It’s a Transformation.

You’re not just paying for images. You’re investing in a full experience—one that’s designed to shift the way you see yourself, forever.

From the first email to the final image reveal, I guide you through a process that includes:

• Professional hair and makeup

• Expert outfit styling

• Fully directed posing (down to your fingertips)

• Flattering lighting

• Beautiful retouching

• Emotional support + hype-woman energy

• And luxury print products that make you feel like art

You’re not buying pixels. You’re investing in proof of your own power.

✨ “But My Friend Paid $200 for Hers…”

And maybe she got 10 digital photos and an awkward experience.
Or maybe her photographer didn’t know how to pose her curves.
Maybe she never even looked at the gallery again.

That’s not how it works here. At Buxom Betty, every woman is photographed with intention and care—whether it’s your first shoot or your fiftieth.

And the results? Jaw-dropping.

🖼️ You Get What You Pay For

Want high-end images? You need a photographer who understands:

• How to light every body type

• How to pose you to feel confident and look amazing

• How to make you feel comfortable in your own skin

Cheap sessions cut corners. I won’t.

Because you deserve the real thing—not a rushed session, not cookie-cutter edits, not one-size-fits-all posing.
Just you. Seen. Celebrated. Stunning.

💌 This Is Not Just for Brides, Models, or Influencers

This is for real women—moms, nurses, teachers, business owners, caregivers. Women who give to everyone else and finally decided to give back to themselves.

And if that makes you emotional? That’s the sign you need to book.

🛍️ Payment Plans Make It Possible

Still nervous about the price? I get it. That’s why I offer flexible payment options so you can book now and pay over time. Zero shame. Total support.

Your confidence is worth budgeting for. It’s worth prioritizing. It’s worth having.

👑 You Are the Luxury

You wouldn’t blink at spending money on a wedding, a trip, or a gift for someone else.
So why not make yourself the occasion?

Because here’s the truth: the cost of boudoir is high.
But the cost of waiting to love yourself? Even higher.

💥 Ready to Stop Playing Small?

If you’re craving confidence, clarity, and connection to your own damn power—this is the sign.
Don’t let money fears keep you from one of the most empowering experiences of your life.

What to Expect at Your Boudoir Session: From Nervous to Empowered

You’ve thought about it. You’ve stalked the photos. Maybe you’ve even filled out a contact form and ghosted.
Let’s be real: booking a boudoir session can feel… terrifying. Especially if you’re not used to being in front of the camera in lingerie. But here’s the truth: by the end of your Buxom Betty Boudoir session, you won’t want to leave the studio.

Here’s exactly what you can expect—so you can walk in a little nervous and leave completely obsessed with yourself.

💌 1. You’ll Be Greeted Like a VIP

When you arrive, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and judgment-free. This is your space to take up space. You’ll be offered a drink, we’ll talk through your outfits, and you’ll get to settle in before hair and makeup starts.

"I was shaking when I walked in—and strutting when I left." – Real Buxom Client

💋 2. Hair & Makeup Magic

My glam team knows how to enhance your natural features while keeping you you. Want full bombshell drama? We got it. Prefer soft glam? Done. You’ll look and feel like the hottest version of yourself before you even hit the set.

👙 3. We’ll Go Through Outfits Together

Whether you brought a suitcase full of lingerie or need last-minute styling help, I’ve got you. I’ll help you choose looks that flatter your shape, fit your vibe, and photograph like a dream. Don’t have lingerie? A blazer, bodysuit, or even a sheet can be 🔥.

📸 4. You’ll Be Posed From Head to Toe

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t even need to know what to do with your hands. I’ll direct you every step of the way to create jaw-dropping images that highlight your favorite angles. I’ll even show you a few on the back of the camera so you can see how good you look.

✨ 5. You’ll Leave on a High

Every woman says the same thing: “I can’t believe that’s me.” And it is. The version of you that’s strong, radiant, and sexy—without needing to lose a pound, change a thing, or hold back.

Bridal Boudoir in Cleveland: The Gift He’ll Never Forget (But It’s Really for You)

Wedding planning is all about decisions: the dress, the flowers, the seating chart (ugh). But this one’s just for you.

A bridal boudoir shoot is the most jaw-dropping, confidence-boosting, melt-his-heart gift you can give. And at Buxom Betty Boudoir, it’s about more than the photos—it’s about celebrating yourself in the most beautiful, powerful way.

Planning a wedding is stressful. Your boudoir session is a chance to slow down, reconnect with your body, and be reminded just how radiant you are. Trust me—walking into your wedding weekend feeling like a knockout changes everything.

💋 When Should You Book?

We recommend scheduling your shoot at least 6–8 weeks before your wedding to allow time for editing, design, and product delivery.

Need it sooner? Rush options are available.

Boudoir for Every Body: Why Plus-Size Women Deserve to Be Photographed Like Goddesses

Let’s get one thing straight: boudoir is not just for one kind of body.
It’s not for “after I lose 20 pounds” or “once I feel more toned.”
It’s for you, right now. Soft belly, strong thighs, stretch marks, full hips, and all.

As a plus-size woman, you’ve probably been told—by magazines, brands, or even your own inner critic—that you need to change before you can be seen. I’m here to tell you: you already are worthy of being celebrated, documented, and worshipped through the lens.

📸 At Buxom Betty, We Pose You for Your Body

Every woman that walks into my studio has a different shape—and I know how to photograph them all beautifully. Through intentional posing, flattering lighting, and expert direction, you’ll be guided into positions that highlight the absolute best of you. (Spoiler: That’s a lot.)

No “suck it in.” No weird angles. Just a session that honors your softness, strength, and story.

💌 You’re Not the First—and You’re Definitely Not Alone

Over 75% of the women I photograph identify as curvy, full-figured, plus-size, thick, soft-bodied—whatever language feels best to them. And guess what?

They all leave the session glowing.

Not because they suddenly “look thin.”
But because they finally see what others have always seen: a radiant, sensual, powerful woman who took up space and owned it.

👙 Lingerie Options? You’ve Got More Than You Think

One of the biggest hesitations I hear is, “Nothing fits me.”
But trust me, from size 2 to 28, you have options.

From strappy bodysuits and cheeky panties to oversized button-downs and cozy bralettes, we’ll style you in pieces that fit, flatter, and feel good.

And if you want help? That’s what I’m here for.

✨ You Don’t Need to Change a Thing

You don’t need to shrink.
You don’t need to “earn” your photoshoot.
You don’t need permission from anyone but yourself.

This is your moment. Your body. Your power.

👑 Your Boudoir Session is a Reclamation

It's not about pretending to be someone else.
It's about seeing yourself, maybe for the first time, through the eyes of someone who already sees your beauty.

That’s what Buxom Betty Boudoir is here for.

📅 Ready to Book a Session That Loves Your Curves?

Portraits of Pride: Why Boudoir Photography is a Radical Act of Self-Love for the LGBTQ+ Community

At Buxom Betty Boudoir, we believe in the power of being seen—exactly as you are.

This Pride Month, we’re spotlighting the LGBTQ+ community with our Portraits of Pride Model Call: a special celebration of identity, love, sensuality, and radical self-acceptance. No modeling experience is necessary. All bodies, all gender expressions, all love is welcome here.

🌈 LGBTQ+ clients are always welcome, affirmed, and celebrated at Buxom Betty. This isn’t a one-time invitation—this is simply our way of highlighting and amplifying the beauty and diversity already at the heart of our studio.

Why Boudoir Photography Matters for the LGBTQ+ Community

Boudoir isn’t just about lingerie or sexy photos. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, boudoir is a reclamation—a personal revolution. It’s a moment to say:

“This is me. Fully. Fiercely. Unapologetically.”

In a world that often tries to shrink or silence queer bodies and stories, boudoir becomes something more. It’s liberation through lens. It’s healing. It’s visibility. It’s joy. Whether you’re celebrating gender euphoria, embracing your body after years of dysphoria, honoring a relationship that defies norms, or simply saying “yes” to yourself—you deserve to be seen, honored, and turned into art.

What’s Included in the Portraits of Pride Experience

💋 A personalized consultation to tailor your session to your vibe and comfort
💄 Full professional hair and makeup (for every gender identity and expression)
📸 A fully guided, body-positive boudoir shoot at our Chagrin Falls studio
🎨 A private image reveal and ordering session to view your photos
🌟 Pride-exclusive model perks for sessions booked and completed by July 4

This Is for You If:

• You’re in a same-gender or nontraditional relationship and want photos that reflect your passion + love story

• You’ve never seen someone like you in boudoir photos—and you want to change that

• You’ve overcome, you're becoming, or you’re just f*cking fabulous and want to honor it

At Buxom Betty Boudoir, we don’t do cookie-cutter. We celebrate you—your story, your softness, your power. We’re known throughout Cleveland for creating a safe, luxe, empowering experience for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone who’s ever felt like boudoir “wasn’t for them.” Spoiler alert: it is.

Limited Spots. Unlimited Pride.

Pride Model Call sessions are available now through July 4. While our studio is always LGBTQ+ inclusive, these sessions come with bonus perks and special model call pricing.

Still Feeling Nervous?

Totally normal. We hear it all the time—until the shoot starts. And then the most common thing we hear is:

“I’ve never felt more like myself.”

Come as you are. Leave feeling even more you.
