I started my own body positive social media account in 2020 with the goal of being the body representation I needed and wished I saw growing up. Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body regardless of ability, size, race, gender, or sexuality and I believe seeing that diversity portrayed in the media we consume is one piece of the puzzle to help guide us toward self-acceptance and self-love. I used to shy away from the camera or only take my own photos but allowing myself to be seen from all angles and through another person's eye- how they find beauty in things I never noticed or even disliked- has allowed me to shift my view of myself. We are multi-dimensional beings and deserve to celebrate our bodies and take up space and Boudoir Photography is a great place to start!

Beth Ann is the owner of Ebb & Flow Integrations, a self love focused coaching practice that helps women to overcome patterns of self betrayal, tune into their intuition, and master their anxiety. COMMUNITY is her number 1 value. Through reframing personal stories and learning to heal through authentic expression, we get to evolve together.

about me.


Hey, I’m Katie.

Thank you for taking a moment to get to know me. I founded Notorious Boudoir in early 2019, right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With over a decade of experience in photography and a BFA in Fine Art Photography, my journey in this field has been both enriching and empowering.

For me, boudoir photography transcends the traditional notions of sensuality and lingerie. It’s about empowerment—both personal and collective. Everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, free from judgment. I’m particularly passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating their self-discovery journey. My goal is to use my creativity to help individuals express their true selves, no matter where they are in life.

My integrity is at the core of how I approach my work. Each client is treated with the utmost importance, and I believe it’s essential for my clients to see themselves reflected in my work. If you don’t see someone like you in my portfolio, I invite you to book a session and become that representation.

I’m excited to connect with you and hear about your dreams and aspirations. You all inspire me every day!

XOXO
Katie.

"Katie was a dream to work with! She created a queer friendly space & took the time to help me feel confident & at ease during the photo shoot. She has an artistic taste in boudoir fashion & it felt awesome to wear pieces from her collection! Throughout the photo shoot, Katie was amazing at directing us & adapting to the environment to create magical shots. I highly recommend booking her!"
-S

"After having two children I was feeling disconnected from my body, and far from beautiful. So when a friend told me about the wonderful experience she had working with Katie I thought I would give it a shot. The shoot itself was fun, comfortable, professional and empowering. Katie has a demeanor that puts clients at ease, and shared photos throughout the shoot which helped boost my confidence. Seeing my photos was an incredible experience to say the least. It helped me feel beautiful again and to honor my new mom body. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Katie!"
-Miss J

Katie is not only an extremely talented, mindful and dedicated artist, but an all-around wonderful person as well. She’s patient, thorough, gracious and truly cares about you (and your authenticity!). I had never had boudoir photos taken prior to working with Katie, and she made me feel incredibly comfortable and guided me through each pose. I left my session feeling radiant — a feeling I attribute to Katie’s infectious encouragement and care. I highly recommend booking with her!
-Miss E












Run, don’t walk, to book your session with Katie! She is an immensely talented photographer and a fabulous human. My photos were exactly what I wanted and so beautiful. I felt like an actual goddess and you will too!
Miss K


"I don’t always feel very confident about my body, but Katie’s welcoming presence, validation and encouragement eliminated much of the trepidation I had about this during our shoot. Based on what I had seen of her previous work, I felt confident that together we would be able to create images that are flattering and make me look as powerful and beautiful as I felt during our session. When I saw the final images, I was proven right!"
- Miss A 


I had never felt more beautiful than I did when I was in Katie's studio. First of all, Joe, who did my hair and makeup was a MIRACLE worker! I looked better than I did on my wedding day. And then Katie. I can't say enough good things about Katie. I felt so comfortable with her, from us picking out the outfits together to her talking me through posing. From start to end, it was such a positive experience. She would show me how the photos were turning out throughout the shoot, which was super helpful and empowering, and she really knows how to hype you up. She is also a VERY gifted photographer and just a really great person and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with her. If you are considering doing a Boudoir shoot, Katie is your person!

   LOVE NOTES:              reviews 

THANKS FOR THE LOVE BABES!
XOXO

Do you have a payment plan options?

Yes, I offer multiple payment options to accommodate your needs. You may choose a pre-session payment plan, which is preferred, or pay in installments after your reveal. If you opt for pre-payment, you will need to select a base package to aim for, such as my $1,500 digital package. You will then make monthly installments towards that package until your session. If you complete your payments by the time of your photo session, you will receive an additional 45 minutes of shooting time with me. If not, no problem—just continue your payments, and your products will be yours once the balance is paid. This approach helps to alleviate any potential financial stress, allowing you to make additional purchases during your reveal session if desired.


Do I have to share my images?

No, it is always your choice. Any images you see here have been released with the client's consent. Signing a release can help empower other women, inspiring them to think, "I want to do that!" or "If she can do it, I can do it!" It's a powerful and positive experience. However, if you prefer to keep your images private and do not want any part of them shared online, I completely understand. In that case, your photos will be for your eyes only.

are you queer friendly?

Absolutely, yes. I am a strong advocate for queer expression and strive to provide a judgment-free environment where clients can comfortably express their true selves. I am delighted to work with queer individuals and couples, ensuring a supportive and inclusive experience. I also understand that trans women may have specific concerns, and I am committed to collaborating with each individual to bring their vision to life.

Do you work with males?

Yes, I do! I require a consultation with every client to get to know each other and to set clear expectations. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a boudoir experience. Please note that I have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of sexual harassment. Ensuring the safety of my clients and myself is of utmost importance.


do you shoot boudoir "erotica"?

No, I do not shoot erotica. While my boudoir photography may incorporate kink elements, everything is simulated or implied. Sexual intercourse or dangerous activities are strictly prohibited in the studio. If you wish to be photographed with your favorite sex toys or equipment, that is acceptable; however, I will not capture images of their use. Boudoir photography is about self-expression, and I encourage you to explore your interests. Open communication is imperative.

how far in advance should i book my session?

I recommend booking your session at least 2-3 months in advance. This allows ample time to prepare your outfits, organize your finances, and complete any other necessary preparations. Additionally, it enables me to schedule your professional hair and makeup artist, and ensure my availability. You can book up to 12 months in advance, providing you with plenty of flexibility to plan your session.
