Come on in, beautiful. You belong here.
You’ve found your way here for a reason—because you’re ready to see yourself in a new light.
Coquette Boudoir isn’t just a studio—it’s a love letter to authenticity, self-expression, and empowerment. As a queer, woman, and autistic photographer, I understand the importance of feeling safe, seen, and celebrated. My approach is sensory-conscious, body-affirming, and inclusive of all genders, orientations, and identities. Boudoir should feel like home, and here, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
At Coquette Boudoir, I am dedicated to creating empowerment experiences designed to celebrate your confidence, sensuality, and self-expression—on your terms. Whether you’re stepping in front of the camera to reclaim your power, honor a milestone, or simply exist in your fullest, most unapologetic form, this space was made for you.
The Artist Behind Your Boudoir Experience
Photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about crafting an experience that empowers, transforms, and celebrates you. I’m Kailee, the creative force behind Coquette Boudoir, and my passion lies in helping you see yourself as art.
I’m beyond excited that you’re considering a boudoir session with me! My love for photography began when I was just a kid, and in 2020, I turned that passion into a profession. My aha moment came while photographing my best friend’s pregnancy announcement—it was then I knew this was my calling.
In February 2021, I found my true niche in boudoir photography and never looked back. Since then, I’ve had the honor of photographing over 60 incredible individuals, each with their own unique story. In October of that year, I took the leap into full-time photography, a decision that changed my life. Since then, I battled with my own health issues and had to take a year off of work, and then got another full-time job. Now, I am back to boudoir part-time and I can't wait to create magical experiences with you!
As a domestic abuse survivor who grew up facing addiction and poverty in my family, I’m deeply committed to creating an empowering, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive boudoir experience. This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s an empowerment experience designed to help you see yourself in a way you never imagined—radiant, confident, and celebrated.
I achieve this through:
✔️ Consent-based practices that prioritize your comfort
✔️ Flexible payment plans to make self-love accessible
✔️ A fully customizable experience tailored to you
✔️ Ongoing education in posing, photography techniques, and client care
Boudoir isn’t just about photos—it’s about reclaiming your narrative, embracing self-love, and feeling truly seen. And I can’t wait to create something magical with you.

Why I Created Coquette Boudoir
I founded Coquette Boudoir out of frustration with society’s imposed standards—ones that disproportionately burden marginalized individuals. This space exists to defy those limitations and celebrate unapologetic self-expression.
My clients are radical souls ready to break free, to embrace their true selves without shame or restraint. Here, they explore and reclaim parts of their identity that have been silenced for too long.
I invite you to release self-doubt and step into a space of confidence, liberation, and inspiration—where body, mind, and identity are honored in the fullness of your lived experience.
Our Mission:
Coquette Boudoir exists to empower radical souls to claim their space, be boldly seen, and embrace their self-expression through art. We provide a luxury boudoir experience that goes beyond photography—cultivating a community where confidence, authenticity, and self-love thrive.
Our Vision:
We envision a world where marginalized individuals are free to embrace every facet of themselves—especially those once deemed unworthy. A world where hidden, suppressed, and forgotten identities are captured not for the approval of others, but as a powerful reminder of our own strength. This is more than a photoshoot; it’s a self-love revolution, a movement where taking up space is a right, not a privilege.
Our Values:
• Live Boldly – You have the power to design your own life. No matter what stands in your way, take the first step toward your dreams.
• Do Before You’re Ready – Ready is an illusion. Growth happens in the leap, not the waiting.
• Be in the Photos – Your presence matters. Capture the moment, embrace yourself, and exist in your story—because one day, you or someone else will cherish that memory.
What is Coquette?
“Coquette” is a French term traditionally used to describe a flirtatious woman, but today, it represents something far more expansive. The coquette aesthetic embraces femininity in all its forms—balancing youthfulness with maturity, delicacy with defiance. Rooted in styles like soft grunge, larme kei, and nymphet fashion, it is a reclamation of girlhood, vanity, and self-indulgence—free from the male gaze, yet fully embracing sensuality, discovery, and personal opulence. It is about romanticizing your life, celebrating fleeting beauty, and unapologetically taking up space.
What is Boudoir?
“Boudoir” comes from the French word for a woman’s private retreat—a space for dressing, relaxing, and indulging in self-care. Over time, the term has evolved to define a genre of intimate photography that is open to anyone, regardless of gender or identity.
Boudoir photography is more than just beautiful imagery; it is a deeply personal and transformative experience. It is about self-acceptance, empowerment, and seeing yourself in a new light. While the resulting photos can be a gift for a loved one, the real gift is the experience itself—a celebration of your uniqueness, confidence, and beauty. At Coquette Boudoir, we create an environment that is luxurious, intentional, and designed to make you feel truly seen.
