Hi, my name is
Ashley Rice
Your local nudes dealer ✌️
I have 2 beautiful daughters, and I am a wifey to my soulmate. I also have struggled with my body image my entire life, from eating disorders to abusive relationships...Just like you, I work hard every day to overcome my past traumas, and boudoir helps me do just that! Boudoir helps me see a side of myself I never knew existed.
My goal is for you to see yourself in a different light. I want to show you what the world sees. You deserve a daily reminder of how badass you are! I would be honored tell your story.
Your personal hype squad
Our all-women team is made up of self-made mamas just like you! We understand the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That's why we are here to pamper the shit out of you!
THE PREP & PLANNING
As soon as you finish with your invoice and contract, I will send you a super helpful "what to expect" guide for your photoshoot! In the guide, it will give you tips on how to prepare and get ready for your shoot! Every experience comes with a huge discount for a spray tan with my partner, Bethany at Enchanted Esthetics! Her studio is located right in the same building as us, and she is a SUPER sweet heart. She is a trusted friend of mine who will help ease you into your new boudoir journey. (She also does lashes and nails too, just saying! ;) )
HAIR & MAKE UP
Your adventure will start at 10 AM with Sam, our makeup magician, and will last about an hour. We don't want to change the way you look, you're beautiful the way you are. The makeup will help bring out your best features so my camera can detect it! Plus, how often do we actually get to be pampered? Embrace it! Sam will do any kind of style from heavy glam to natural and anything in between! She is fabulous with any skin and hair texture. Feel free to bring in an inspiration pic or send me any ideas!
Posing & Expression Coaching
In no way do I expect you to be a model. All the pictures you see on my website or social media are created with everyday women just like you! I am there for you the entire time. I will guide and pose you from fixing fly away hairs to hiding tags to pointing your toes. Boudoir is soo much more than just pretty pictures. Before we even shoot, we will connect and I will sit with you and talk about your why and your fears. I will show you how to focus on your breathing & how to calm any nerves. By gaining your trust, I will be able to walk you through all those wonderful emotions and capture them for you so you can see just how wonderful you are. Posing can be hard work, but my goal is to make it as easy as possible so the only thing you have to focus on is your breathing!
Premium products
The fun doesn't stop at the studio experience...now we get to turn you into ART, baby! This is my favorite part. We get to customize and create stunning albums and wall art for you! We have dozens of album cover material options, from pink snake skin to red velvet! The luxury materials are all handmade, eco friendly, and of the best quality (imported from Portugal) so you can be sure your art will last for generations to come. There is a reason royalty and the rich have big ass pictures of themselves in their homes. Can you just imagine how awesome your portraits would be hanging over your bed or in your bathroom!? You get to wake up every day and be reminded how fricking bad ass you are.
THE INQUIRY AND PHONE CONSULT - After you inquire, we will schedule a quick 20-minute phone call, where I walk you through the whole experience and answer any questions you may have. Nerves are totally normal, and we will go over why you may be feeling certain emotions and how we can overcome them together. Once you decide if you are ready to do this, we are able to take your deposit over the phone and secure your session date.
THE PRE-SESSION - After you book, I will send you a welcome guide with tips and tricks on how to best prepare for your experience! I also send you a questionnaire that will help me get to know you better and customize your session for you! Just know that all the women in the images on this website are NOT models. They are normal everyday women, mamas, teachers, therapists, gardeners, musicians etc. I will help you through every step of the way!
THE SESSION - When you arrive, you will start with professional hair and makeup while we listen to your favorite music and maybe have some wine and snacks! Then, we will talk about the different outfits you brought and take a look at some choices you may want to use from my client closet. I always start with breathing exercises to help calm any last-minute nerves. We will coach you through the different emotions and facial expressions for the best passionate faces and poses. Sessions usually last 1 to 2 hours, so eat a good breakfast! I will provide snacks and drinks to help keep your energy up. Posing can be hard work so be prepared to do some stretches and drink lots of water!
THE REVEAL! - This is the best part! After we take a quick break, we will meet back at the studio on the same day of your shoot so you can see your gorgeous images! This is also where we will create you album! This part is so fun. I have so many different materials to choose from...the options for your album are endless! I will do a base edit on your gallery, and then you will hand pick which photos you want to select from your session. Once you make your selection, I will finish your gallery, create your custom products, and send them to you for final proofing! Albums take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks to be delivered.
FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am located in southern New Hampshire but I'm willing to travel all over New England!
When will we get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 2 weeks time (sometimes more or less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the private gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
Do I have to share my photos online?
No. The people you see have given me permission to post those images. While I ALWAYS recommend sharing the great strides you have made on your self love journey, if you prefer, the only 2 people in the world to see your photos are me and you babe :) Most women love their photos so much they end up sharing them everywhere!
Will you photoshop my *insert body part*?
No. I will absolutely try to edit out any pimple, bruise, cut etc. Anything that isn't permanent on you I will do my best to edit. I am a huge for loving your body EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS! When we have a consultation call we will chat about any of your insecurities or problem areas. Just know. You a freaking gorgeous. I got youuuu!
Should I bring my own outfits or lingerie?
Heck yesss! I always encourage to bring whatever YOU feel comfortable in! I do have my client closet though that has some beautiful pieces! Def bring nude and black thongs! And a pair of black pumps, the higher the better ;)
Eek! I'm nervous, what do I do?
This one is simple. You just have to trust the process. It may feel weird at first but I promise you, within the first ten minutes every client I have relaxes so much! All the people you see here are normal people just like you! Plus we do the most growth when we let ourselves be vulnerable.
Do you sell prints and albums?
Absolutely! You can actually order your artwork right from the site I will send your gallery to! Or let me know and I can help custom make an album for you!
