Thaw and Thrive Boudoir Minis
An elevated boudoir experience in Stillwater — curated for confidence, beauty, and bold self-expression.
Sunday March 1st, 2026
The Hive House | Stillwater, MN
A limited-edition mini session experience — professionally styled, expertly guided, and designed to reveal your confidence in every frame.
Winter is wrapped tight around everything right now — the cold, the layers, the heaviness we all carry this time of year.
But in a few weeks, everything softens.
The air warms, the days stretch, and something in you starts to wake up… to crave a little heat, a little confidence, a little spark.
Thaw & Thrive is created for that version of you —
the you who’s ready to melt out of winter’s grip and step into your strength, your boldness, your fire again.
This isn’t just about photos.
It’s about feeling magnetic in your body… letting go of the winter weight — physical or emotional — and letting yourself be seen the way you want to be seen.
Think warm light brushing bare shoulders.
Think lace sliding just enough to make your pulse quicken.
Think deep shadows, soft curves, arched lines, and feminine power that takes up space.
Thaw & Thrive is where you get to be moody, bold, daring, playful, or fully unleashed.
Whether that means a cozy, intimate look… a steamy, topless moment… or a close-up that spotlights the curve of your hip or the shape of your back —
this space is yours to claim exactly how you want.
As winter fades, let yourself heat up.
Let yourself open up.
Let yourself thrive in the version of you that feels the most alive.

Session Breakdown
Your Thaw & Thrive experience is designed to make you feel bold, beautiful, and powerful the moment you walk through the door. This isn’t just a quick photoshoot — it’s a warm, confident reset after a long winter and a chance to capture the version of you that’s been waiting to come alive again.
Here’s what your time with me looks like:
✨ 30 Minutes of Hair & Makeup
You’ll start with professional hair and makeup — soft glam, full glam, or something moody and bold. This is your moment to warm up, breathe, and let the confidence settle in. Think glowy skin, tousled hair, and a look that makes you feel magnetic the second you see yourself in the mirror.
🔥 30 Minutes of Guided Photography
Once you’re ready, we move into your photoshoot.
Don’t worry about knowing how to pose — I’ll guide you through everything with clear direction and constant hype so you feel confident and in control.
This session is all about exploring your energy — soft, daring, playful, bold, or a little bit of everything.
This is your space to be:
• Moody
• Warm
• Alluring
• Bold
• A little risqué if that’s your vibe
• Or softly intimate if that feels more you
Anything from cozy lingerie to daring topless moments is welcome — you decide how much you want to show or highlight.
📸 Full Gallery Included (30–50+ images)
Mimosas and Light snacks while you settle in.
No choosing, no limits, no stress.
You get the full gallery of professionally edited images — every angle, every moment, every part of you that deserves to be seen and celebrated.
💗 The Experience
Thaw & Thrive is more than a photoshoot — it’s a chance to reconnect with the parts of yourself winter tends to numb. It’s confidence, heat, softness, strength, and feminine energy captured in a way that feels magnetic and entirely your own.
