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.

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.

Join The Nood Troop

I know you came here because you were curious about a photoshoot, but this movement is so much bigger than just pretty pictures. Boudoir photography is a small part of The Nood Troop ecosystem which is built on body liberation through the lens of boudoir, art, education, community and retreats.

Over the last year I have poured my heart and soul into building a platform that supports your journey into body acceptance from start to finish. A photoshoot is an incredible step in the journey, but it’s not a stand alone, fix all experience. Most people need support before, during and after this experience to fully step into their power. These photoshoots are built into a larger ecosphere to provide that support.

The Nood Troop lives on Substack and operates as an online (and in-person) community built for tangible education, selfie tutorials, expert interviews, podcasts, journal prompts and retreats. I want this to be the place you look first for resources to feel better in your skin and provide the support you need to step confidently into you power!

So here is your permission slip to join this movement. If you are looking for a full blown shoot, I am honored to have you….but some of you may be here looking for just a small hit of serotonin and aren’t quite ready for the full photoshoot experience. The Nood Troop is a perfect place to dip your toe into the world of body acceptance where you can build your confidence before you pull the trigger!

So whether you want to book a shoot, start your journey into the world of body liberation or join us in October for one of our retreats, this space is intentionally and thoughtfully built to support you wherever you are.

To unlock the full Nood Troop experience, join the VIP membership for only $11 a month or snag a spot on the Scotland or Ireland retreat!

I am so honored you are here friend. I am so proud of you for taking your first leap into this world and can’t wait to support you through this journey!
