The island is small and it talks. A hotel suite is the most private room in Palm Beach.
Luxury boudoir in Palm Beach means a suite on the island or across the bridge in West Palm Beach, hair and makeup at the vanity, and a session directed like an editorial. The session is $450; Icono, the collection with album and wall art, is $2,795.
I. — The suite
How a suite session works
01
Pick the suite
You book one night. I help you choose: east windows over the ocean for a morning session, west windows over the lagoon for late afternoon, a tub, a long mirror, a balcony nobody overlooks.
02
The first two hours
Hair and makeup at the vanity, then ninety minutes of shooting while the light is good. Check-in time, not bedtime. If check-in is at 4, we take the 5 pm slot or you ask the hotel for an early room.
03
The rest of the night
Room service, a bath, someone arriving at eight. That part isn’t photographed.

II. — Pricing
Session $450 + your collection.
01 · The essentials
Esencia
15 retouched images · private gallery · digital files
The suite is yours to book; the session is $450 and covers the consultation, 90 minutes of shooting, hair and makeup, wardrobe styling, a same-day reveal and 5 retouched images. The collection is chosen afterwards and paid in 3 installments. $225 confirms the date; the rest is paid at the suite, before the first frame.

III. — Privacy
Discretion on the island
No studio, no sign on a door. I shoot only where the property allows it and confirm that in writing before your date.
Rooms on and near the island to consider: The Breakers on the ocean, The Colony a block from Worth Avenue, The Brazilian Court and The Chesterfield on the quiet streets behind it, the Four Seasons at the south end and Eau Palm Beach just past it in Manalapan. Each has its own light and its own policy, so the choice is made on the call, not on a booking site.
Across the bridge, downtown West Palm Beach along Flagler Drive has newer hotels with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the island: a skyline behind you instead of palm trees. Palm Beach Shores and Singer Island add oceanfront towers ten minutes north. From Wellington, the island is 30 to 35 minutes east on Southern Boulevard.
Season on the island runs from Thanksgiving to Easter, and the wardrobe follows it: a silk robe over your own lingerie, pearls on bare skin, a cocktail dress unzipped halfway. The room is already doing the luxury; the clothes can do less.
Why people choose a suite: an anniversary night, a wedding weekend, a birthday dinner on Worth Avenue, a partner who travels. The images end up in the Icono album or on the wall at home.
V. — How it works
Four steps. All of them directed.
i. Hold a date on the booking page with $225, then book the suite.
ii. Planning call: which hotel, which side of the building, which three looks. Styling guide the same day.
iii. At the suite: hair and makeup at the vanity, then 90 minutes, every pose directed. Same-day reveal.
iv. Proofs in 24 hours. Retouched images 7 days after you choose, then your collection is made.
VI. — Before you book
5 questions.
Is the hotel room included?
No. You book and pay the suite directly with the hotel. I help you choose one and confirm the property allows photography.
What is in the Icono collection?
Every retouched image, a 10×10 album, a 16×20 wall piece and the digital files. $2,795, payable in 3 installments, on top of the $450 session.
How much does a boudoir session cost?
The session is $450 for 90 minutes, hair and makeup, wardrobe styling, a same-day reveal and 5 retouched images. Esencia ($895) and Musa ($1,695) are the other collections; all three can be paid in 3 installments.
When is the island busiest?
From Thanksgiving to Easter, when hotels fill and rates rise. Book the suite and the session date together, a few weeks out. Summer rooms are easier to get.
Who sees my photos?
Nobody at the hotel, and nobody else without a password. The Session Agreement you sign after the deposit allows selected images in my portfolio, website and social media, never paired with your full name, contact details or location.
