Kelsey
owner and photographer
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you’re thinking of possibly getting naked in front of my camera! Lol, just kidding. You do not have to be naked to do a boudoir session!
I’m Kelsey, your new Bestie and hype woman. From the moment you book in until the moment you cry when you see your beautiful ass in photos, I’m the one walking you through the entire process. I always say you’ll be nervous for about four minutes when you get to the studio because I talk so much that you won’t have any time to be nervous!
i’m on the floor rolling around getting sweaty with you during your session because I do every single pose with you! I will never ever tell you to look sexy or leave you in front of the camera wondering what the fuck to do with your hands. In fact, I turn you into a pretzel and individually move each one of your toes. I’m a professional hair floofer!
Worried about being plus size, having a mom body, or not knowing what to do with your hands? Don’t. We serve over 300 women per year in our bad ass studio and we are competent imposing every single body to accentuate and hide what you want! We have never had a single unhappy customer in the 10 years we have been in business.
Come on in and let me show you how great your ass can look!

What can I say, it's who I am, I want everyone to win. We're a team of women who do not do "mean girl energy" Baddie Beauty is making all feel like a baddie no matter what! We'd rather build you up and see you succeed in whatever you're doing or whatever dream you're chasing. Your success is ours and we hype you up.
