Hi, I’m Kristi, the photographer behind Boudoir by Kaheala, a full-service boudoir photography studio in Manchester, New Hampshire.
As a female boudoir photographer, I have built a space that celebrates real people and real bodies. This is a body-positive, judgment-free studio where you can reconnect with yourself and rediscover confidence.
People often call me “the most unprofessional professional,” and honestly, that makes me smile. I am relaxed, a little goofy, and deeply intentional. You do not need to pose like a model or know what to do with your hands. We figure it out together. Most clients arrive feeling nervous and leave feeling taller, calmer, and proud of what they just did.
Boudoir photography is not about performing for someone else. It is about being fully present and remembering who you are when the world goes quiet.
I created Boudoir by Kaheala after hearing too many people apologize for their bodies. You are not too much, too soft, or too anything. You are already enough and you deserve to be seen as you are.
Each session is a quiet celebration of your strength, softness, and story. It is also a small act of rebellion against unrealistic standards. Here, perfection is not the goal. Presence is.
No experience is needed. I guide you through simple, natural movements so you feel relaxed and empowered. This is not about stiff poses. It is about breathing, moving, and feeling at ease in your own skin.
Your session begins with professional styling that reflects your unique vibe. Whether you love a fresh, natural look or want full glam, you are in control. Every look is created by trusted artists who understand comfort, consent, and individuality.
You can bring your own outfits or explore the studio’s curated wardrobe. We will talk about how you want to feel and what pieces support that. Everything is prepared ahead of time so you arrive feeling ready and in control.
We begin with a simple call to talk about your vision, goals, and comfort level. There is no pressure. This is just a space to connect and explore what is possible.
You will receive a guide that includes everything you need to know, from wardrobe tips to mindset support to what to expect on session day.
Your photoshoot takes place in a cozy Manchester NH boudoir studio with soft light, music, and gentle direction. You are never alone in the process. Every detail is handled with care.
When your photos are ready, we will view them together. You will choose the images that feel right and decide how you would like to preserve them — from digital galleries to fine art albums.

Jill isn’t just incredibly talented, creative, and professional — she’s also one of the kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely at ease, like I was spending the day with my best friend.
Throughout the session, I felt empowered, radiant, and truly confident — feelings I hadn’t experienced in a long time. When Jill showed me a few shots on the camera, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I kept asking, “Who is that?!” and she’d smile and say, “That’s YOU!”
It was one of the most uplifting and empowering experiences of my life.
