Redefining a genre.

The intent of Intimate Portraiture can mean different things to different people. For Shira W Rose Studios, it's a movement to redefine the Beauty & Boudoir genre to celebrate and inspire a message of body-positive, self-love & acceptance of all body types. It's a gift for yourself first rather than for another. It is a celebration of you on your terms, embracing and even falling in love with those little details you think are flaws, the curves, those tiny imperfections that make you...more beautiful and unique because every ounce of it is you.

Our clientele is primarily people who are recognizing a transition in their lives. They may be newly partnered, newly single, celebrating a milestone, planning a family, done having children, or feeling healthy again after illness... They are acknowledging who they are and where they are in their lives right here and right now.

Intimate Portraiture is about you embracing and seeing yourself for the extraordinarily beautiful being that you are today, not 15 pounds from now, not perfect abs from now...just today and now. The world NEEDS MORE CONFIDENT women. Intimate Portraiture is, oddly enough, less about your appearance and more about that which comes from within.

I am a portrait photographer for the Modern Woman on a mission to build CONFIDENCE in all of the women that I come in contact with... one woman at a time!! I know firsthand the POWER OF CONFIDENCE, and I know ALL TOO WELL how crippling that paralyzing feeling of insecurity can be. As a Beauty & Boudoir Portrait photographer, I have a front-row seat watching women work on their confidence right before my very eyes. Intimate Portraiture is transformative not so much in how your look but in how you see yourself. It is the ultimate in returning to a place, remembering that little thing that makes you sparkle. I encourage you to book an Intimate Portrait session... and if you can't book one with me, then please book it with a photographer whose work most resonates with you. I promise you will thank me!!
