For the women who have spent years avoiding the camera, waiting to lose weight, or convincing themselves they're just not photogenic. I'm Erin, and I promise you don't need to know a damn thing about posing. That's my job.
My private studio is located in Hyde Park, NY, just outside of Poughkeepsie. I welcome women from all over Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley. It's a cozy little space I've made my own!
You are FIERCE.
You are FIRE.
You are FLAWLESS.

Boudoir
Photography
I'm the photographer behind Lucky Lilac Photography. I'm a huge animal lover, a little too obsessed with plants, and someone who firmly believes ice cream is an acceptable dinner. I've also spent a good chunk of my life struggling with body image issues, so believe me when I say I understand how hard it can be to feel comfortable in your own skin. I'm certainly not going to pretend I've got it all figured out myself!
One of my favorite things about photographing boudoir is getting to show women a side of themselves they don't always see. I've watched so many women walk into my studio nervous, convinced they're going to be awkward in front of the camera, only to end up laughing their asses off and wondering why they waited so long to do this.
I'm pretty laid back, I make a lot of ridiculous jokes, and I get embarrassingly excited when we get a great shot. You don't need to know how to pose or show up feeling confident. That's what I'm here for! I take my photography seriously, but I definitely don't take myself too seriously. My goal is for you to leave feeling like you just spent a few hours hanging out with a friend who happens to take some pretty awesome pictures.
With a passion for ice cream and making people feel downright badass

About Erin
I want to book my spot!!
Boudoir is an intimate, personal experience in which you should feel absolutely and completely comfortable with every single step of the process. This starts with a scheduled consult call where we will get to know each other and design the perfect experience for YOU. You are unique, and should always be treated as such.
simply book a call with me to get started!
Let's Do It!
Lock in your date
Once you've chosen your collection, we'll get your contract and payment arrangements taken care of and officially get you on my calendar! From there, we'll start planning all the fun stuff, including wardrobe ideas, any special requests, and all the little details that will make your session your own.
And don't worry, I'll walk you through everything along the way!
the Big Day
You'll arrive to the studio in comfy clothes where we will begin with our fabulous, licensed esthetician for your hair and makeup. You are welcome to request any fun and daring makeup looks you've been dying to try! Makeup includes any styles from classic and natural to full glam, lashes included.
the day has arrived and it's time to unleash that inner goddess that's been dying to get out!
The Big Reveal
I will go home and work on editing your amazing gallery. Typical timeframe is between 1-2 weeks. We will schedule an in-person reveal appointment where we will go through your gallery and make your image selections! This is where we decide exactly what goes into your album, and figure out if we want any additional prints or products.
At the end of our session, we will schedule a reveal appointment
Album Ordering
Once you have made your image selection, I will then design a customized album just for you, based on your chosen package. I will send you the image proofs to approve of the layout, then we go to print! My albums are hand made by an amazing company with a female-only production line. Your images are personal and intimate and it's incredibly important to me that they are always handled in a professional and discreet manner. Once sent to production, it will then take 2-4 weeks to have your amazing products delivered!
This is the exciting part!

"Erin is one of the most exceptional people I've met. I had the pleasure of doing a boudoir session with her, and as a plus size person I was definitely nervous at first, but she made me feel super comfortable. I've always believed that the things you can't see are the things that have the most power to hurt you, and so seeing my body in this way has been very important to me in my body-love journey. When I saw the final images, I honestly cried tears of joy. I was so surprised by how empowered and beautiful I felt. I couldn't stop smiling! All of which is a testament both to her as a person, but also to her skill as a photographer."
"Before meeting Erin, I had never had my picture professionally taken nor am I comfortable taking pictures in general. I decided to do a boudoir shoot for my 30th birthday and from the first time I spoke with her, I knew she was the photographer I needed- someone excited, artistic, and made me feel comfortable. Erin chose the most beautiful place for the photoshoot, she listened to exactly what I envisioned and knocked it out of the park. For someone who was always so self conscience about my physical appearance, Erin’s positive and uplifting attitude not only made me feel comfortable but made me realize I was beautiful too. She is a beautiful artist and incredible person- she was made do this work and I’m so grateful to have met her and did this with her. Make your appointment NOW! You will be so happy you did- oh did I mention my pictures are STUNNING, I’ll cherish them and this experience forever. Thank you, thank you, I will be back for more!!!!"
"I was not someone who initially thought doing a boudoir photoshoot for my wedding was something I would be doing, but then with time, research and talking to the right person (aka Erin) I decided to go for it, and am so happy that I did. It started as something as I wanted to do as a gift for my future husband, but turned into something that was as equally for me & my confidence! Erin went above any beyond to make me feel comfortable, ease me in, work through poses with me, and just make the entire experience better than I thought it could be (added bonus of snacks, water + coffee for the day of shooting!). She is so creative with her ideas for shots and works through everything with you that day. She cares so much about empowering women and has such passion for her work, it truly shows throughout her process and in the final product. I cannot say enough good things about Erin and my experience with her, and cannot recommend her enough!"

My boudoir collections start at $1,850, and that includes your entire experience! Professional hair and makeup, access to my client closet, your photo session, professional image retouching, and a beautiful album to take home. No separate session fees or surprise charges!
I know that's not a small amount of money, and I don't expect anyone to make that kind of decision lightly. But I also want you to know that this isn't a quick appointment where you're rushed in, photographed, and sent on your way. I want you to actually enjoy your time here! We'll take our time, have some fun, and make sure you're comfortable throughout the whole process. This is something I want you to look forward to, not another appointment you have to squeeze into your schedule.
I also offer payment plans, because I know paying for everything at once isn't realistic for everyone. We'll go over all the collections and pricing during our consultation, and you can decide what works best for you without any pressure.
