21+ The Lounge · Bemidji, MN
A private studio, 30+ custom indoor and outdoor sets, a closet full of lingerie, and a photographer who will hype you up from “can I really do this?” to “watch me.”
Galleries are private by default. Nothing is ever shared without your written say-so.
Hey beautiful
It’s about tapping into your inner goddess and celebrating every inch of your beautiful self. Boudoir is that moment you catch your reflection and pause, because for once you’re not picking yourself apart. You’re just feeling gorgeous. Desirable. Completely at ease.
Stay cozy and covered, strip down to your lingerie, or land anywhere in between. You set the line, and you’re safe here. Just show up as you, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Let’s smash a few myths:
It isn’t your job to take a pretty picture. That’s my job.
"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!"
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 pre-session consultation is where we plan your looks, your sets, and the feeling you want to capture. Bring lingerie you love, or shop our studio closet.
03
Settle into a private prep room, turn up the music, and let me guide every pose. Taking a pretty picture is my job. Yours is to have fun.
04
We sit down together to view your images and choose your favorites. This is the part where jaws hit the floor.
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. Keep it sultry, suggestive, and oh-so-implied, or go full wild child. Every room tells a completely different story.
Vintage vanity, lush florals, and moody light. Romance lives here.
A full bar, low light, and luxe details. Hot in public… except not really.
Neon, a pole, and all the main-character energy you can handle.
Velvet, leather-bound books, and a little old-Hollywood drama.
Chains, neon, and vintage grit for your edgier side.
Sunshine, stock tank tubs, and wide open northern Minnesota sky.
Christmas, Valentine’s, spooky season, the Jungle, and whatever we dream up next.
Leather, books, and a desk made for bad behavior. Smart is sexy.
Water, glass, and steam for a sultry, soaking-wet look.
Bubbles, a vintage tub, and pure pampered elegance.
Sparkle, lights, and confetti energy. Every day is a celebration.
Ropes, cuffs, and a little danger for your daring side.
One-of-a-kind themed sets that are here for a good time, not a long time.
Our studio never sits still. Limited edition sets, steamy specials, and first dibs on boudoir quickie dates show up in our private Facebook group before anywhere else.
Packages & pricing
Every experience includes a pre-session consultation and a fully guided session. The difference is how much time you get, how many looks you try, and how much of your story you take home.

Love notes from clients
You know why our clients keep coming back for more? Something magical happens during these shoots. It’s a whole transformational experience. Hear it straight from the people who’ve been there and rocked it.
"I made one of the best decisions I've ever made and booked a boudoir photoshoot for my upcoming 40th bday! And omg you guys GO BOOK WITH HER!!! She made me feel so beautiful and special and I will forever be grateful to her for making me feel amazing."
"I do photo shoots to boost my self love, confidence, and self esteem... You'll see the beauty in yourself and it will boost your self love."
"It's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood... Back again baby!! Birthday present to myself. Do. The. Shoot."
"I'm ready for my 3rd shoot! This is my path and journey. I am very grateful that I have found a way to remind myself of what self love looks like to me."
"Hey ladies, she does boudoir!! And it's chef's kiss!"
"Just for myself cause I want to... I always feel so comfortable with her."
"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."
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.
Good to know
Most clients arrive hair and makeup ready. Want a little extra pampering? Add Sassy & Styled ($50) for bouncy boudoir curls or a classy pinup look, a Luxe Lash Upgrade ($25), or a Glow & Go Touch-Up ($25) when you book.
Our studio closet is stocked with lingerie, robes, and specialty pieces, but we still ask you to bring panties in an array of colors, a few bra and panty sets, and any lingerie you're dying to wear. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early to get changed and settled.
Nope. Stay cozy and covered, go full lingerie, or bare it all. Clients have shot in ball gowns, oversized button-downs, and a tank top with one of our swoon-worthy robes. You set the line, and we never push past it.
That's most people! I will walk you through every pose, so you don't have to know what you're doing. I got you! Remember, it isn't your job to take a pretty picture. That's my job. Your job is to lean into the experience and have fun.
Only 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.
Yes. Your deposit reserves your date, and you can make partial payments toward your balance anytime ($50 minimum). Tax is added at checkout.
Absolutely. The Lounge is for everyone 21+. Men's sessions book into the same experiences on this page, and couples have their own page. Adding a partner to your session is $100, because getting two people on the same page and posing for two takes extra time and care. A friend or partner who just comes along for moral support is free.
