This Might Not Be What You Expect From a Boudoir Photographer.

HELLO I'M

PAOLO


I understand that choosing a boudoir photographer is deeply personal. As a male photographer, I approach each session with the utmost respect, professionalism, and dedication to making you feel comfortable and celebrated.

My passion is helping every woman rediscover the beautiful, confident star she truly is. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than the moment a client finishes a session feeling energized—charged up by her own radiance. Through my timeless Hollywood-inspired portraits, I celebrate femininity in its truest form and invite you to see yourself as the elegant, empowered woman you’ve always been.

HAIR + MAKEUP

Your boudoir experience starts with a relaxing session of hair & makeup. We have partnered with the best salons in Charleston to give you a look that will make you feel confident and the most flexibility in scheduling.

3 SETS / OUTFITS

We will spend 1.5 hours creating magic with 3 different sets / outfits. We love to start each set with layers to create variety, to reveal more underneath. We have a client's wardrobe with amazing pieces to supplement your wardrobe.
