OUR MOTTO

COME AS YOU ARE


Every curve, mark and scar is a vital part of your story. You don’t need to change anything about yourself to deserve an empowering, life-changing boudoir experience. Your story is special and worthy of being told.

You deserve to celebrate yourself in the season you’re in right now. You don’t need to be at a goal weight or have your dream body, or even wait for anyone to gift this experience to you. Treat yourself to a fun, liberating photo experience that will have you walking away feeling like a baddie. Because, babe, you deserve it.

Alternatively, the location of your shoot can take place in the comfort of your own home, a private outdoor location, boutique hotel, unique Airbnb or a private studio (inquire for a list of our favorites!).

ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

MORE ABOUT KIRSTIE

066A9875-2.jpg

Hello, gorgeous.


I’m Kirstie (like “thirsty” with a K) and I am the owner & lead photographer of Kitty Noir Boudoir with headquarters in Winchester, Kentucky.

My most important role as a photographer is helping others feel confident, beautiful and free. I strive to encourage, empower, and inspire every babe that steps in front of my camera. I’m passionate about boudoir photography because it welcomes you to come as you are, and it allows me the opportunity to remind you how genuinely beautiful and fearless you are.

I'm a 10 cups of coffee a day kind of girl. I'm older than I look, mainly because I'm 4’11 and can fit in your pocket. You’ll typically find me in a local coffee shop working on my laptop, singing in my car, playing video games with my husband, or cuddled up on the couch editing and watching TV. I’m a proud cat-mom, karaoke enthusiast, queen of naps, light chaser and lover of color. I believe in the power of gratitude, solo dance parties, that nature is healing, and that everything we’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.

DO BRAVE THINGS

Come, let’s be brave together.

FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED


From the time you book your session, through your glam process & private photoshoot, to holding your finished album in your hands, we are here for you every step of the way. Read our frequently asked questions and feel confident about your next session!

  • Kirstie’s in-home studio is located in Winchester, KY and is available for your session at no additional charge. It’s a cozy, neutral-toned space designed in a modern boho style with vintage accents. Perfectly fit for a babe like you!

    With a growing collection of different pillows, sheet sets and decor, we can customize the space to reflect your personal style and the mood you’re trying to accomplish.

    The location of the shoot can also take place in the comfort of your own home, a private outdoor location, boutique hotel, unique Airbnb or a private studio. Please note that the cost of the location is not covered in the photo packages.

  • We do not accept anyone under 18 years of age as a client. With that said, your age, weight, race or any other circumstance does not matter. If you have a desire to love yourself more, to experience the ultimate confidence booster, or just have a fun day that is all about YOU, then boudoir photography is totally right for you!

    Also note that, while boudoir makes an incredible gift for any occasion, you should be first and foremost doing this for you.

  • A boudoir marathon is a semi-private mini experience offering affordable, short and sweet versions of full sessions, making them typically the easiest to squeeze into your busy schedule. These sessions are no longer than 30 minutes long, stacked in a specific time block at a location and on a date that the photographer chooses, and includes a select number of images (usually no more than 15, with the option to purchase more).

    We try to host at least three boudoir marathons per year — around Valentine’s Day (our most popular), in the summer and around Halloween. Follow us on social media to stay informed on when these go live!

  • Our pricing structure now works in two parts:

    Part one is our photo session retainer (starting at $350). This is due to make a reservation on our calendar and includes a whole bunch of goodies! Your pre-session consultation, our detailed Boudoir Guide, access to our studio & client closet, refreshments, our shoot together and your ordering appointment.

    Part two takes place at your ordering appointment. Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session, your beautiful edited proofs will be unveiled to you. Most clients have no idea what they want to order until they have physically seen their images and that’s okay — we understand! We don’t request any artwork orders until you’ve seen your images and love them.

  • We understand that spending money on yourself may cue some guilty feelings, so we’ve curated flexible payment plans so you don’t have to feel that stress!

    We never want money to be a factor in holding you back from this incredible experience. When you start taking care of yourself, you start to feel and attract better. It all starts with YOU, and we truly believe that every babe is worthy of this experience. We’ll help make this possible for you in any way we can, so don’t hesitate to reach out for more information on payment plans.

  • We’ve found that most women are more comfortable doing their own hair — simple, loose curls typically work best.

    Professional makeup services are an available add-on to help treat you to all the pampering. Includes full face, airbrush and lashes. All you’d need to do is arrive to the studio with your hair done, a clean face, your outfits, and anything you’d like to bring for hair/makeup touch-ups. We can take care of the rest!

  • One of the many reasons why we’re passionate about boudoir photography is that we believe in celebrating the stunning woman you are today. This experience is designed as a unique opportunity to show you that you were made for MORE, and that you are beautiful in your skin, no matter what season of life you are in.

    We’ll utilize lighting, angles and posing to bring out your best natural features. If you feel you would like a “little extra work” though, we offer retouching services. This includes digital retouching techniques to clear skin, reduce wrinkles/dark circles, etc. to help you look like your best self. These services are not applied to your proofs, but are included in all artwork orders and purchased digitals.

    Lastly, we won’t change anything about your beautiful shape. We do not alter your body in any way. Truthfully, that does more damage in the long run. Trust us, you’re in good hands!

  • That is completely up to you. This is YOUR shoot and I want you to feel your absolute best. Nudity is never required or expected during a boudoir session. I want you to be completely comfortable during the shoot and especially with your photos. Sexy comes in many different forms, so wear whatever you feel most confident and comfortable in!

  • Anything your heart desires, babe! Lingerie, your favorite oversized sweater, luxury couture, bondage wear, you can rock the white sheet, or even shoot nude (completely optional). The key is to select outfits that you feel the most confident and comfortable in; outfits that make you feel sexy, not just what you consider sexy. From there, we’ll pose you from head to toe and assist with every detail!

    We have a growing client closet that currently includes some elegant tulle robes, a few cardigans, kimonos and accessories for you to utilize.

  • Once you are officially booked, we’ll be there for you every step of the way! You’ll receive a detailed guide to help you get ready for your session, including what to expect, how to prepare, wardrobe inspiration and shopping resources.

    If you still need help, we can schedule a FaceTime consult at any time to make sure you feel confident in your choices!

  • After your shoot we will prep your photos for your ordering appointment, during which you’ll select all your favorite photos and build an artwork order, made to your heart’s desire.

    Personal privacy and discretion are VERY important to us. You never have to share your images anywhere, EVER. We understand the delicate and intimate nature of your photos and we fully respect every client's right to privacy. The only times we feature clients online are after they’ve given consent to share their images. At the time of booking you’ll have the option to sign a full release, partial non-identifying release, or no release. Your decision will always be honored and you can rest easy knowing your images are fully protected.

  • After your ordering appointment, your custom art piece will be made. Although the majority of clients invest in a Luxury Album, we currently offer a range of products that also includes little black books, luxury print boxes, wall art, print-ready digital images and crystal flash drives.

    Allowing 1-2 weeks for designing, printing and shipping of artwork, you’ll then receive all products in your final boudoir package. If you are gifting your artwork and want to save time on wrapping and presentation, ask us about our Boutique Packaging add-on!
