Wonder Woman: Reinventing One's Self
What is a Wonder Woman? She is so much more than just a guest blogger. . . she is opening up the world to her story of challenges and regrowth. Megan sought out The Boudoir Studio to mark an important time in her life. . . the reinvention of herself.

Willow Domestic Violence Center Donation
Last month, we started 2020 off with a bang by offering an incredible deal of $20 Boudoir Sessions! The warm and fuzzy feelings didn’t stop there… we also pledged to donate every penny of our client’s session fee to Rochester N.Y.’s own Willow Domestic Violence Center!! Thanks to our January clients, we were able to raise over $300 to create baskets of items in need for Willow.
