Working with abuse survivors showed me what a beautiful journey reclaiming one's power and confidence is. I've been privileged to witness the healing power of boudoir photography over past bullying memories, abuse, eating disorders, and that nagging feeling that you just aren't enough.
arisian Portraits exists to create an environment where women can embrace their inherent beauty, which cannot be diminished by the passage of time, life experiences, or societal expectations. But most of all, I'm here to celebrate all that you are!
Your Houston Boudoir Photographer
From our first consultation, you'll step into an uplifting, supportive environment where your voice guides the process. Together, we'll explore your ideas, set meaningful intentions for the session, and design every detail to reflect your unique style. We'll talk about what you love about yourself and highlight the specific qualities you want to bring forward.
Every element of your session is meticulously designed for you, from selecting the ideal location and outfits to curating poses that reflect your personality. When the day arrives, you’ll find yourself immersed in a fun, empowering atmosphere, leaving you with stunning images that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
oudoir, originating from the French word for a woman's private room, represents a space where you're free to be yourself. My goal is to create that same sense of freedom during your session—an experience that feels as comfortable and personal as being in your own sanctuary.
My Approach to Boudoir Photography
Growing up, frequent art expeditions shaped my view of women and the human form. I saw paintings and sculptures that celebrated bodies in all their diversity, showcasing every dimple and curve as beautiful! Boudoir photography had always been that alluring whisper in my ear, but for many years I talked myself out of it. After all, I was going to school to be a veterinarian!
Today, I’m thrilled to embrace both worlds. It’s an honor to get to know you and your beloved pets, and I can’t wait to create beautiful art together!
hat began as a side project during a career setback quickly transformed into something I can't get enough of: capturing the genuine and unfiltered essence of who you are.
how exactly did I end up doing this anyway?
I loved this experience with Kate. I never know how to pose or what to do when I’m getting my pictures taken but Kate did a great job at making me feel comfortable and helped me trust the process. Seeing these pictures made me feel so pretty! Truly I don’t think I see myself in the way she was able to capture me but seeing these pictures from someone else’s perspective filled me with confidence.

Parisian Portraits has done several sessions for me, and every single one of them have turned out absolutely perfect. I haven’t really loved my body the last few years but having these images where I look so powerful and confident has changed that perspective.
100000000% I have already tried talking my other friends into it. It was so fun and it was an amazing gift for me and my husband.
10/10 would do again.

Getting an idea of Kate’s vision for the photos helped me feel comfortable for when the day actually came. The lightness and fun of the session stood out to me, it felt more like we were hanging out and snapping pictures of our time vs a formal photo shoot! One unexpected highlight was the amazing props and effort Kate put into making a beautiful backdrop, and I felt beautiful in the pictures so it definitely gave me a boost of confidence. I would recommend this experience if you’d like beautiful pictures that are timeless! It was enjoyable and effortless!
