BOUDOIR
PHOTOGRAPHY
by
Samantha Hartig
As someone who usually doesn't like photos of myself, it's my mission to guide you through poses which can
UNCOVER YOUR CONFIDENCE
by showing you everyone is photogenic in the right light
with boudoir sessions offered in the comfort of your own home or select dates at Tampa and St. Petersburg locations
BOUDOIR ISN'T
about lingerie or “being sexy.”
It’s about dropping the filter of self-criticism finally seeing yourself the way others do.

REFLECTIONS
"Before my shoots with Sam, I never thought I would feel comfortable in my own body. During one of the sessions I cried a little because I felt like I looked silly and the pictures were not gonna look good. Sam made sure that I felt comfortable and helped me get over my negative thoughts. After seeing those final pictures of myself, I never thought I could look like that!! It was such an empowering experience that I think everyone should do! Whenever I feel down about myself I look at my album and remind myself that I am the girl in those pictures."
—I.P
"Before having the shoot, I was nervous and a little self conscious. I've never really seen myself as one of the poster girls for Victoria Secret. This experience has given me so much more than just pretty pictures of myself. It has helped me see myself through a new perspective and have more self love for my body!"
—anonymous
"I want to write a testimonial, but it's so hard to put this experience into words."
—D.C.
"Thank you so so much! I absolutely LOVE every bit of it! I'm so very very insanely happy and giddy with it all!"
—T.L.
"I think *name* should book a session too. It would be so good for her confidence."
—A.K.
"Having this album made me realize I want to print more family photos for around our house."
—S.T.
Meet the Woman Behind the Camera
Hi! I'm Samantha.
As someone who decided to book my own boudoir session as a gift for my partner, I understand feeling these photos might only be for someone else. I was surprised when my own session helped me reconnect with myself and quiet some of that inner criticism. What started as a gift for someone else became the best gift I could give myself.
Prior to this, I had done a couple professional photo sessions and didn't really love the results. Detailed pose guidance was the missing ingredient. I never knew what to do with my face or hands. Being guided through poses in detail was a game changer! The experience was healing and empowering.
I'm on a mission to bring that experience to you!
I graduated with a BS in Visual Arts in 2009. From there, I did a career 180 into software engineering. Always needing a break from the technical world, I have continued to use various forms of art, including photography, for a creative and therapeutic outlet.
Veterans
As a veteran myself, I know how difficult it can be to find your way back to yourself after military service. For many women, that journey can be shaped by experiences in a male-dominated environment. A boudoir session can create a supportive space where you can begin to reclaim your sense of self and honor the person you are today- beyond what you’ve been through.
If you're not ready for that yet, learn more about The Veteran Project here. It's veteran inspired, but everyone is welcome.
