Your new boudie bestie
Hi! I'm Alison - Christella Boudoir
had my very first boudoir session and was instantly obsessed. I have two children and after my first it took me about 1.5 years to feel myself again. With my second, it took over 2 years. My first boudoir session was the start of embracing the new me. It was the stop of only taking care of my family and the start of including caring about myself. This is what led me to boudoir photography after 6 years of being a professional family photographer.
I had a lot to learn to love. I didn’t look at myself in the mirror anymore. I knew I HAD TO put myself as a priority again. It was difficult and sometimes I felt selfish.
I’d taken my own spicy photos before but NEVER had anyone else taken them before. I was so nervous and thought about cancelling the entire week leading up to my session. But I didn’t. I knew this would help me find myself again. I faced my anxiety head on. My photographer made me feel so comfortable and my anxiety and fears quickly melted away. I started feeling good. I starting thinking about ME. I walked out of the studio feeling confident AF and I’ve ridden that high ever since.
Within the next few months I decided to open up a new branch of business: boudoir. I believe every woman should love herself. Every woman that is searching for herself, every women who needs some confidence and every women that needs strength to know they can conquer any challenge can benefit from a boudoir session. There are so many more reasons but I believe that every women deserves to experience a boudoir session at least once. The experience will never leave you.
If you’ve lost yourself through life or motherhood, I understand. I was there. And sometimes days are hard. But there is no better time than NOW to claim love for yourself back. It’s time to make yourself a priority again and book a boudoir session! You’re going to feel like you can overcome ANYTHING when you step out of my studio.

Kind Words
My very first boudoir photoshoot with Alison and it was nothing short of amazing . She immediately made my nerves melt away and I felt comfortable with her and my body. I explored poses I would have never dared to try without her guidance! I highly recommend her to all my friends!
I was so nervous about my session but Alison made me feel entirely at ease. She helping me relax and smile. She took her time helping me plan every detail of our session-from outfits to the small details. The turnaround time was very fast and I absolutely loved how the photos turned out. My viewing gallery was easy to navigate, protected with a password, and she was available to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend working with her and I will be booking another session in the near future!
Oh my gosh... just DO IT! Seriously. Alison was phenomenal to work with. My session was such a fun and comfortable experience. Honestly, I can say I haven't had this high of self-esteem in years. When the images came back... ohhhh my goodness! Book her and fall all back in love with yourself how you are now!
Alison is an amazing Cleveland boudoir photographer. Photos make me a nervous wreck and I find them stressful. Alison worked her magic and made me immediately feel comfortable. She offers a luxurious experience to the women she photographs. She's a perfect fit for anyone who's a little bit nervous or anyone who books their first session. Her sessions include make up and light hair styling, guidance for outfits and she guides you through each pose. 10/10 recommend the Christella Photography experience.
I was so excited to finally book my first boudoir session! Working with Alison made all my anxiety dissipate. I felt comfortable, silly, and sexy during my session! When I saw my photos, I couldn't believe it was m! Through Alison’s skillful guidance for all poses, fun/playful demeanor, and comfortable environment, I felt myself blossom throughout the shoot. By the final pose, I was wishing we had more time. I’m already dreaming up my next session! I can’t thank Alison enough for an amazing first time experience.
You Deserve the best
I spend much of my time every year taking classes to better my skills and fine tune my photography and posing to give you the very best boudoir session you deserve.
