THE TRANSFORMATION

A photo is the evidence you leave behind of a life well lived. Here are some tangible reasons it’s important to tell your story.

• Proof of your power: tangible evidence of the strength, softness, and resilience you carry every day.

• A living reminder of your humanity: your grief, joy, rage, love, and becoming, all witnessed and remembered.

• A new way of seeing yourself: beyond criticism, expectation, or the stories you’ve been told about your body.

• Images that feel like truth: honest, raw documentation of who you are in this season of life.

• A deeper connection to your body: not as something to fix, but something to honor.

• Permission to take up space: fully, loudly, and unapologetically.

When you step in front of my lens, the transformation isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about seeing yourself clearly, maybe for the first time. Stripped of expectation. Stripped of performance. Stripped of the stories you’ve been handed about who you should be.

YOUR PHOTO EXPERIENCE

Every session includes:

• A fully guided photographic experience, no modeling, posing, or “knowing what to do” required.

• Collaborative direction and gentle guidance, built around movement, emotion, connection, and truth rather than perfection.

• Location planning in the Raleigh studio, on a stop of the Take More Noods Tour, or in a place that feels meaningful to your story.

• A pre-session planning call to shape the vision, intention, styling, and emotional landscape of your session.

• Professional editing that preserves the honesty of your images while elevating them into heirloom art you will cherish forever.

• A private image reveal where you’ll witness your story and choose how you want to preserve it.

My clients are real people, mothers, daughters, partners, fighters, healers, people in transition, people in celebration, people in grief. You do not need experience. You do not need to know how to be photographed. You do not need to “look the part.”

All I ask is that you show up as you are. Nervous, excited, uncertain, cracked open, angry, soft, whatever is true for you. This space is not about performing. It’s about being witnessed. About stepping fully into your own story and allowing yourself to be seen in the body that has carried you through all of it. And that, in itself, is a radical act.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Katelyn,

A Raleigh based boudoir photographer and the founder of The Nood Troop, a community dedicated to helping people reconnect with their bodies through photography, art, community, education, and storytelling.

As a photographer that believes everyone deserves to find a home in their skin, I have spent the last decade traveling and photographing a 1000+ clients across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia through the Take More Noods Tour.

This movement is so much bigger than just sexy photos…it’s an invitation to embrace your story and allow yourself to be witnessed just as you are. My goal is to amplify the human you have become and mirror back the power I see. Your story is unique, your images should be as well. From day one, my work has been rooted in one resounding belief:

Your story is worthy of documentation exactly as it is.
