Meet Your Lead Photographic Artist

Marina

Hi, Monarch Woman!

I'm Marina, owner Monarch Boudoir! As a woman, I know the importance of feeling confident and beautiful from the inside out. That's why I founded this empowering experience– to help women find their inner power and beauty.

The pampering experience we offer at our studio is designed to help you free yourself, face your deepest fears, and find yourself again along the way.

Consider this your permission to experience a life changing transformation that will hold the mirror up for you to see your own beauty (finally!) and empower your inner Monarch. 🦋

I have hand picked the very best team. I promise with all of my heart that my team of specialists will be your biggest hype-girls, best friends, and more importantly, storytellers.

Helping women (18+) of all backgrounds & life experiences to feel beautiful and free is at the very core of our hearts at our empowering photography studio.

If you're reading this, this is the sign you've been looking for... I invite you to discover your powerful inner Monarch, so you truly tap into the confidence that's buried deep within.

Slots are extremely limited

"You don’t need your dream body to be at a goal weight, or even have someone to gift this experience to"

WHO IS THIS EXPERIENCE FOR?

All women aged 21 and above are invited. Last year we had women in their 20's, 30’s, 40's, 50'S, 60's, and 70's do the photoshoot + attend the gala!

I have Photographed stunning images of women of different shapes and sizes; women with different tastes, from different backgrounds and with different views of life. the birthday self-love portrait experience is exciting, pampering, indulgent adventure, custom tailed to as conservative or as risqué as you choose!

think about how you want to be captured... what does your legacy look like?

Our passion is to take the everyday woman and give her an unforgettable celebrity-style magazine worth photoshoot experience, no posing experience needed, and we work with everyday women that you'd see at the grocery store... not models.

Although you will look and feel like a super model!

It's about so much more then fashion and taking "pretty pictures".

Our hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself, see your beauty and spirit the way others already see you.

Before coming in, many woman say "the photos are gorgeous and I know Monarch Boudoir does great work.. but I am terrified I will HATE all of my images". We accept that challenge and are proud of our money back guarentee. We will give you a FULL refund if you do the shoot and do not like a single image at your Ordering Appointment (p.s. we have NEVER had that happen in TEN years).

OH, DID I MENTION...

You'll Be Featured In Our End Of Year Gala

Your digital interview will be shown online. You'll get two FREE tickets to our year end client party! This is also when you will get your FREE print at our big year-end GALA event!

We might share your interview on social media, our blog, website, or in ads to tell your story. We may also show before-and-after makeup photos.

You’ll be photographed in our special "DARK GLAMOUR" style. This is a unique way of taking pictures that uses light and shadows to create stunning, glamorous photos. It was created by Marina, the founder of Monarch Boudoir.

Dark Glamour is different from regular photography. It uses controlled lighting, strong shadows, and poses designed just for you. We also have a VIP closet full of glamorous outfits for you to wear during your shoot.

Our studio is the ONLY one in the world that uses Dark Glamour™ lighting! This makes your photos one-of-a-kind and extra special.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Dark Glamour different from regular boudoir?

Our seductive signature lighting is crafted with the most glamorous of clients in mind. It’s the perfect setting for those looking for a classy, seductive, and dangerously alluring setting. Posing under Dark Glam lighting will surely make you feel like the MONARCH you are.

Where will my boudoir session take place?

Sit in front of our large hollywood mirrors, luxury boudoir sets, and gold glitter floors in our private luxury studio located at 2 main street in Massena, NY.

I am freaking out! I'm so nervous!

That's completely natural to get the nervous butterflies. Infact, We would be a little worried if you weren't nervous beforehand! It's a true-tell sign that you're ALIVE and able to EXPERIENCE. Don't worry! We'll hold your hand every step of the way!

I have no idea how to pose, will you help?

We'll help you pose from head to toe. We'll even help you with your breathing for photoshoots! Our Monarch Transformation method has been compared to a game of simon says and yoga with our style of pose coaching.

I feel like this is for younger women... Am I too old to book a shoot?

You are never too old. You are never too far gone. In fact, it's a chance to show all the younglings that you still got it and you'll NEVER lose it!

I don't know how to "be sexy"... I’ve tried to make sexy facial expressions, and I feel like I just look silly…

This is totally normally to think! Our Monarch Transformation makes being and feeling sexy easy! All you need to do it roll out of bed. We'll take care of the rest.

Should I wait until I’m at my goal weight?

Our Monarch Transformations aren't just external. They're an internal transformation to come to peace once and for all, the ability to practice self-love and body positivity. Each shot is thoughtfully, tastefully, and carefully set up, and we're not just going to go on a picture shooting spree.. We'll take care of your angles, lighting, clothing, fixes, etc. so you're in good hands - from start to finish!

You need confidence to do this, I could never look like that...

Ms. DL thought the same thing. Here's what she had to say after her Monarch Transformation session:

"I kept thinking that something wasn’t gonna be “right” with me, like somehow the photos wouldn’t be good, or as good... my hair and tan lines I remember being my main concern for some reason... your hair/makeup and the photographer ladies did help put me at ease, and then once I finally saw the finished product I guess I didn’t really have much to be worried about."

- Ms Monarch DL

I don't wear much makeup...

Our resident hair and makeup artist will carefully craft something unique to your preffered and most favorite looks.

Do I have to do my own hair and makeup? Or do you offer hair and makeup?

Before your Monarch Transformation session, our hair and makeup professional will work with you in our private Hair + Makeup Suite to give you the glam look you want. We've got you covered, from start to finish!

Do you "photoshop" my images?

First of all, it hurts our heart to hear anyone ask this — it’s one of the many reasons we specialize only in boudoir photography as our full-time career.

This experience is designed as a unique opportunity to show you that you were made for MORE and that you are beautiful are the skin you are in, in the season that is today. We pride ourselves in meeting you right where you are in life, and holding your hand throughout this process. No matter how you feel your body looks or what the scale says - DO NOT be intimidated by the women in our portfolio. They are everyday women just like you.

We do light skin retouching including removing temporary acne, lighting/color adjustments, and skin smoothing. We do not alter your body in any way. Truthfully, that does more damage in the long run. Plus, we are experts in the art of Dark Glamour™ boudoir lighting, angles, and posing to bring out your best natural features. We believe in celebrating the foundation of your individual beauty. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through your very own Monarch Transformation.

What if I hate my images?

If after your photoshoot you don't like a single image you see edited, we will not require you to purchase a package!

Will you share my images?

We will never share your images without your explicit written consent. That would be illegal in addition to breaking our clients trust, which is a big no no. We take client confidentiality exceptionally seriously here.

Who provides the outfits? Do I have to bring my own outfits? How many outfits should I bring?

You'll have access to our luxury and very sparkly VIP Client Closet full of couture lingerie. As well as to as to a jewelry and accessory closet sourced from all around the world! Some women prefer to go shopping for new goodies! Some already have things in their closet (like a sexy oversized sweater to drape over the shoulder) or a leather jacket to wear with a simple pair of panties. Your Monarch transformation can be as sexy and scandalous or as conservative and covered up as you prefer! Some women have even brought in evening gowns or cocktail dresses to do their shoots in! We generally recommend bringing 4-6+ outfits. If you’re not sure, pack it anyways, and we’ll help you style things when you get here!

I have no idea how to pose, will you help?

We'll help you pose from head to toe. We'll even help you with your breathing for photoshoots! Our Monarch Transformation method has been compared to a game of simon says and yoga with our style of pose coaching.

Do I have to wear lingerie?

Absolutely not! Your shoot can be as RISQUÉ or as conservative as you like! We have even had clients bring in cultural symbols like full-length evening gowns, hijabs (headdress), and niqabs (full body covering) for their shoot.

Where should I purchase my outfits?

Upon booking you’ll receive full access to our Glamorous Prep Guide, which will walk you through what outfits look best for your body type as well as recommendations on our favorite places to shop. Don’t forget - you’ll always have access to our VIP Client Closet!

What type of prints and products do you offer?

100% of our clients always purchase at least an album! We carry artlines and artwork that range from simple, all the way to high-end artwork that's nicer than designer handbags and jewelry combined. You'll have the opportunity to explore options during your Debut + Ordering Appointment.

There's no other way to make your transformation timeless and make your newfound confidence permanent.

Sounds fun but what will I do with my artwork?

Our albums are meant to be brought out to remind you of the FORCE you are whenever you happen to need a quick pick me up in life!

I have kids! I can't hang a boudoir image of myself in my home!

That can be securely tucked away if you're more conservative around your children. Another option is to hang your wall art in unconventional places like your bathroom or a closet. You're in control of the photos that are printed! So you could even make it a close up of just your face if you prefer. It doesn't have to be any image that is RISQUÉ.

Do you offer digitals?

Absolutely! Any luxury album you order includes digitals of your most favorite images!

Do you offer payment plans? I'm not sure I can afford this...

We offer both financing and in-house payment plans!

I'm ready to DO this! How do I get started?

That's awesome! Just click the "Free Consultation" button on this page to speak with us and we'll be happy to walk you through the whole process and how it works!
