First Things First
Exactly what kind of images are you hoping to walk away from your session with? Do you find yourself drawn to anonymous images that show off the body Portraits? Editorial style? Have absolutely no idea? It can be very difficult to articulate your own style, so we don’t ask you to.

About the Studio
Located in the downtown Green Bay arts district, our studio is a creative space built for exploration and expression. With versatile sets, beautiful natural light, and professional lighting options, individuals and couples can experience a session that feels relaxed, collaborative, and uniquely their own.
Meet Mary
I’m Mary, the owner of the studio and the photographer who will be guiding you through your entire experience. For over a decade I’ve been helping people reconnect with their bodies through portrait photography. My work has been recognized by The Portrait Masters and even lives in the Smithsonian, but the moments that matter most to me are when someone sees themselves in a way they never have before.
Meet Jakie
I’m Jakie, the studio manager, artist, and the person who helps bring your entire experience together. From styling sessions to hair, makeup, retouching, and designing your final artwork, I’m here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way. I believe creativity, connection, and a little bit of fun make the experience truly unforgettable.
Wardrobe Tips
Honestly, and we’re not even close to exaggerating here, wardrobe is really not that crazy important for the way that we shoot. Please, please, please don’t stress out over wardrobe. Don’t feel the need to run out and buy all new things. We can do a completely versatile and awesome shoot with a single scarf, or the sheets, or a sweater. Truly. Don’t stress about it.
How We Work With Every Body
Everyone walks into their session with at least one thing about their body they feel unsure about. The good news is that wardrobe, lighting, and posing are incredibly powerful tools, and we use them intentionally to highlight what you love while softening anything you feel unsure about.
2-4 Weeks Before Your Photo Shoot
PLAN AHEAD
It’s almost time for your session, lets talk about what you need to focus on 2-4 weeks prior to your session
Don't You Dare
SPRAY TAN BEFORE YOUR SHOOT
We know you think that you look better with a tan...but we assure you, even if you don’t see the streaks and unevenness with your naked eye, the camera will pick them up. You will photograph a lot more tan than you think you look (especially given that our specialty is low-key lighting and black and white imagery), and spray tans will photograph orange in color images. Trust us on this!! On that same note, no tinted lotions or bronzers on your body. Even after this warning we get a lot of women who message us to say that they’ve been spray tanning for years and they cannot fathom not doing so before a photo shoot. Of course we will still photograph you, but unfortunately our standard retouch will not account for spray tan correction, so just keep that in mind.
Where to Prepare
We’ve got a few recommendations for local Green Bay businesses + websites that will help you prepare your face and bod for your session! Feel free to pay these establishments a visit and mention that Studio Nude Boudoir sent you! MORE →
What to Expect
A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE YOU SHOOT, you can expect to get a confirmation from us, just making sure we are on the same page about your makeup start time, shoot start and end time, and location...and we’ll also ask if you have any last minute questions!
