I'M KARICE!
THE BOUDIE BAR BOUDOIR photography
I'm the owner and photographer at The Boudie Bar Boudoir Studio here in Atlanta, Georgia. When I first ventured into the world of boudoir photography, I had no idea I'd fall in love with it. You see, I had been a wedding and portrait photographer for many years. That was all I knew. In fact, I was only persuaded to try boudoir photography by one of my wedding clients. Little did I know this would be the start of a beautiful and profound journey for me and a major turning point in my career.
The reason I fell in love with boudoir was so much deeper than taking pretty pictures. I fell in love with the life-changing effect the experience had on my clients. These beautiful souls would walk into my studio nervous, scared, weighed down by insecurities and sometimes on the verge of tears. I realized that although these photo sessions are a ton of fun, these women were here for something much more meaningful. They were here to get back in touch with themselves.
I photograph women from all walks of life, women of all shapes, sizes and cultures - doctors, lawyers, teachers, CEO's, stay at home moms, working moms, single women, married women, women who have just finalized a divorce, women healing from abuse or trauma, women who just want a moment to feel sensual and confident in themselves. These are women just like you and me.
Regardless of where these women are in life, I am here to provide a safe, judgement-free space for them to embrace their sensuality and let loose for a little while. Boudoir photography has given me the opportunity to lead women towards a journey of self love and acceptance. They leave my studio with a full heart and a whole new way to see themselves and that is something I am very passionate about.
A boudoir experience is for all women. It's your turn to celebrate everything that makes you the Goddess you are today. And I'm here to help you honor your story.
LET ME SHOW YOU YOUR
INNER GODDESS

WILL YOU SHARE MY IMAGES?
Our #1 priority is your comfort, especially with something as intimate as boudoir! We take your privacy VERY seriously and will never share any of your images without written permission. Sharing is completely up to you
DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO POSE?
Not at all sis! That's my job. I will be posing you from head to toe so that every shot showcases your gorgeous self in the best way. No need to have any prior posing experience ;)
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP MY IMAGES?
I want you to absolutely love your portraits, so I do offer blemish removal and skin smoothing. Our goal is to edit in a way that the photos will still look like the natural you, but with intentions to display them. So, if any further editing is desired, just let me know.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR LINGERIE?
Nope! What you wear depends on your personality. Bring whatever you want to wear. You can wear a big slouchy sweater with knee high leggings, a sexy bodysuit or nothing at all. We also offer wardrobe, accessories and props here at the studio.
I'M NERVOUS. WHAT DO I DO?
Don't worry. We work with the every day woman just like you! It is completely normal to feel nervous at first. But after you get all glammed up and the the session gets moving along, you will begin having fun and will soon forget the nerves. And I will be there to guide you every step of the way.

We also offer luxury handmade presentation boxes to store your prints in as well (prints included). Digital images collections, diamond blocks, digital playbooks and videography are offered as well.
WHY DO YOU SHOOT BOUDOIR?
I often get asked why I shoot boudoir. The answer is simple - I believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful. Being a boudoir photographer gives me the ability to create an experience, leading women on a journey to self-acceptance. This is my passion.
WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME?
Digital images. albums, wall art & presentation box orders are ready within 4 to 6 weeks. So please be sure to schedule your session well before you actually need your portraits.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
I am totally okay with you bringing 1 friend as long as they do not interfere with the session. They are more than welcomed to watch as long as they are not a distraction to you or I during the session. Anyone under 18 not permitted.
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY BODY. CAN YOU FLATTER ALL WOMEN?
The women that you see on my site are every day women who at one point, were worried about the same exact thing. With our expertise, we are confident in being able to photograph women of all shapes and sizes. You'll see ;)
WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?
There are fees associated with a reschedule due to time being marked out and also the reservation of our hair and makeup artist. The reschedule date must be within 90 days of the original date.
