Hey lovebirds
Couples intimate portrait sessions are all about celebrating your love, capturing the sparks that fly when you’re together, and creating memories that’ll have you smiling for years.
This session is dedicated solely to the two of you and your story. Dress to impress, indulge in a little PDA (or a lot), and get lost in each other’s arms. Get ready to turn up the heat, make some seriously epic memories, and capture the bond you share. Book your consult call today and let’s capture your love story in all its breathtaking glory.
Good news for the nervous one:
"If you're a guy and looking to get these done, DO IT! I wouldn't have wanted another person to do my pictures!"
How it works
01
Pick your experience below and lock in your date with a deposit. Rather talk first? Send a private message and we’ll chat.
02
Your consultation is where we plan both of your looks, pick your sets, and talk about the feeling you want to capture: sweet, steamy, or a little of both.
03
Settle into a private prep room, turn up the music, and let me guide every pose. You two just focus on each other.
04
Right after your session, view your images together and choose your favorites. The perfect way to end date night.
Hair & makeup: arrive camera-ready, or add Sassy & Styled curls, Luxe Lashes, or a Glow & Go touch-up when you book. See add-ons
30+ sets to play in
Our studio is ever-changing, with over 30 custom indoor and outdoor sets, a full bar, gardens, and outdoor spaces, so your couples boudoir photos look nothing like anyone else’s. A few couples favorites:
Recreate the night you met, build a scene around your favorite movie, or bring us a theme that’s all your own. Specialty and custom sets do carry an added cost, so tell us your idea and we’ll send you a quote.
Your vibe, your rules
Some couples want soft and romantic: forehead touches, satin sheets, and slow-dance energy. Others want to turn up the heat with leather, chains, and neon. Most land somewhere in the middle. Wherever you two fall, you set the line together, and we never push past it.
Coordinate your outfits, bring the look that makes your partner blush, and let me handle the rest.

About the partner fee: Couples pricing includes a $100 partner fee. With two people in front of the camera, we take the time to make sure you are both on the same page, from comfort levels and boundaries to outfits, sets, and the vibe you want. Planning and posing for two takes more care and more work, and that extra attention is what makes the session feel easy for both of you.
Tax (8%) is added at checkout. Your deposit reserves your date, and you can make payments toward your balance anytime ($50 minimum). Please review our studio policies before booking. Questions? Send us a message

Love notes from the Lounge
The common thread in every review? Arica makes even the most camera-shy partner comfortable fast. Hear it straight from Lounge clients.
"Just had my first session today and I loved it!!! Arica did a great job and took some amazing photos, she is very easy to work with."
"You will never find a warmer, more capable and kind person to chronicle the amazing moments in your life."
"I always feel so comfortable with her."
"Arica's work is absolute art! She captures your personality and has you embrace feelings of empowerment, self love, and wondering why you ever waited to book a session!"
Good to know
Nope. In most couples, one of you is all in and the other is along for the ride. That's normal. I guide every pose, touch, and glance, crack a few jokes, and within minutes the camera-shy one usually forgets I'm there.

Dress to impress, then bring a backup. Coordinate colors or textures (black lace and a crisp white shirt never misses) and pack a few options each: lingerie, jeans, a button-down, boxer briefs, whatever makes you both feel good. Our studio closet is stocked with lingerie, robes, and specialty pieces too, and we plan it all together at your consultation.
Totally up to you. Some couples keep it sweet and romantic, others turn up the heat. You set the line together before we start, and we never push past it. Implied is always an option.
Yes. Married, engaged, dating, newlyweds, or celebrating 30 years together, every couple 21+ is welcome in the Lounge.
You dream it, we can probably do it. Specialty and custom sets carry an added cost depending on what's involved. Send us your idea and we'll put together a quote.
Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, engagements, a wedding-week gift, or just because. "We needed a date night" is reason enough.
Only the two of you, unless you say otherwise. Galleries are private by default, and nothing is ever shared on our website or social media without your written consent.
More ways to play
All about you. Bold, soft, or somewhere in between, with sessions for her, for him, and brides-to-be.
Vintage allure, Hollywood glam, and your inner bombshell. Dial up the steam or keep it sweet and sensual.
Bondage-inspired portraits and fine art erotica for the curious and the bold. Every session starts with a private consult.
Your photographer
Your slightly chaotic, overly caffeinated, Christmas-obsessed boudoir photographer. A little crazy (you kinda have to be for this to be your job), a bit chatty, and definitely the girl who’s been listening to Christmas music since October.
As someone who’s had her own battles with self-confidence, both in front of and behind the camera, I’ve learned I have a gift for helping women see what everyone else already sees in them. That’s my goal every time you walk through my studio doors: to help you feel beautiful, powerful, and enough. Always.
We’ll laugh. We’ll probably overshare. You’ll forget you were ever nervous.
