Victoria’s Dark Fantasy Portraits
When Victoria first reached out to me, we connected on a love for all things mystical. Her 30th birthday was approaching, and she wanted to mark this milestone in a way that truly reflects who she is. She wasn’t just looking for a boudoir shoot—she was seeking a transformation.
Victoria found me through an Instagram ad and was drawn to the fantasy themes I weave into my work. She’d considered a photoshoot before but had only seen professional photography used for weddings or parties—but nothing that encouraged her to celebrate herself. So we began crafting her session, bringing to life something that spoke to her soul.
Like many of my incredible clients, Victoria was navigating a journey of self-love. She wanted to be kinder to herself and hoped that by seeing herself through my lens, she could shift her perspective. Her vulnerability, her hope, is something I hear often. And let me tell you—seeing the transformation happen during a session is pure magic.
Her inspiration? Enchantment. A villainess basking in power. A warrior queen bathing in the blood of her enemies (figuratively, of course). A sword-wielding sorceress channeling untamed magic. With her love for fantasy books and a childhood filled with fictional dragons and fairies, this wasn’t just a photoshoot—it was an homage to the world she loves, to the stories that have shaped her, and to the fierce woman she is.
Victoria traveled from Dutchess County, NY to my Stratford studio, and the moment she stepped in, she fully embraced the experience. Every pose, every look, every carefully curated prop brought her deeper into her fantasy. The transformation was mesmerizing.
When she left the studio after her beautiful Image Reveal, I could already see the spark of confidence in her eyes. And when she left this five-star review, I knew that she truly experienced the magic we offer:
“I felt so comfortable and confident with Stephanie. I knew I wanted to get pictures but I wasn’t sure how comfortable I was doing traditional boudoir and I knew I wanted a fantasy aspect. She works with you on your vision and makes you feel right at home. I have been feeling so good about myself since then. I can’t wait to book again with a whole different theme!”
That’s what boudoir—and fantasy—are all about. It’s not just about the photos. It’s about stepping into your power. About seeing yourself as the fierce, magical being you are. Victoria’s journey was one of transformation, and I can’t wait to see what we create together next time.
