Here at SCF, we embrace the fact that the intimate photography experience can be far deeper, more beautiful, more luxurious, and more beneficial to you than that old-fashioned version of boudoir.

Oh, you can still find some of that old way available, but it is not what we offer here.

We know that your intimate portrait session is far more about the experience you have and how it enriches your confidence and view of yourself than any person you might share the images with.
