Boudoir Nature Portraits in Asheville 

Ritual portraiture of a woman in a river

Portraits of Women in Nature

Embrace your divine essence and join me in celebrating the sacred connection between women and nature. These ritualistic photoshoots are for mothers, maidens, queens, mystics, huntresses, wise women, and lovers to embody their true power. Together, we capture the natural and ceremonial beauty of each moment, creating magical and empowering images.

In the intimate space of these portrait sessions, a woman doesn't just see her reflection; she witnesses her inner strength and beauty unfold before her. It's a transformative experience where she emerges feeling not just beautiful, but celebrated and powerful.

Portrait Testimonials

  • "Rene has a special kind of magic: the power to capture the extraordinary in every person and in the surrounding landscape. For me, Rene’s pictures captured my connection to being a woman whole unto myself. I would recommend this experience wholeheartedly to any female-identifying person who is looking for or curious about a transformative gift of self-love."

    -S

  • "I'm a photographer and am no stranger to photos. Shooting with René was such a beautiful experience. I felt like she was an artist who was oil painting me. Her attention to detail was so intuitive and I felt like her gentleness coaxed out the side of myself that is easily missed. It was a dream to have her shoot me."

    -Helen Joy George

  • “If you are curious and courageous, you can experience a relaxing yet revealing photo session that will gently bring you face to face with your essence and whisper that it is okay to be exactly who you are.”

    -Jenny

  • “Never have I felt more comfortable as a subject on camera. Rene is calming, confident, and has the ability to connect and read her subjects. I felt relaxed, empowered, and explorative all at once during the shoot. It was a time of play, seeming like time didn’t exist.”

    -Jennifer Roberts
