meet the
Idalia Boudoir Team
Alex Peterson
Founder
I didn’t step into a boudoir studio until I was in my 40s - but the moment I did, I was hooked. I left that session knowing without a doubt that our studio needed to offer this experience to our clients.
By blending the softness of light and airy photography with the authenticity of true-to-life editing, we create images that feel both timeless and empowering. Our approach is full of warmth and encouragement, helping you feel comfortable, confident, and unstoppable in front of the camera.
And none of it would be possible without the incredible women on our team. Each of them brings her own style, talent, and heart to every session - creating a space where you’ll feel truly seen, supported, and celebrated from start to finish.
"I have never felt more empowered, confident and gorgeous in my entire life."
She made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful!
I was fortunate enough to do a boudoir shoot with Idalia Photography. From the start, the client concierge was so helpful in preparing for the photo shoot. My photographer, Amber, was amazing and very happy to implement all my ideas. They also have an in-house make up and hair stylist, Corrine, whose services were included, and she does a lovely job. Corrine took the time to listen to what i wanted done, asked for inspo pictures, and executed it perfectly. The owner, Alex, did my photo reveal and very patiently helped design my keepsake book, combing through all the pictures that Amber took. Since there was no shortage of great shots, I even bought a few extra pages. Couldn't recommend Idalia enough!!

Susan, our Client Experience Concierge, is often the first friendly voice our clients connect with and the steady guide throughout their boudoir journey. With a love for design and styling and a naturally warm, reassuring personality, she helps clients feel prepared, supported, and confident every step of the way. When Susan isn’t coordinating details or cheering clients on behind the scenes, she’s spending time with her family, traveling, and soaking up life as a mom of two.
Meet Susan
Corinne, our lead hair and makeup artist, has an incredible talent for bringing out the best in our clients, helping them feel both comfortable and stunningly beautiful. With her warm personality and expert touch, she sets the tone for a truly empowering experience. When Corinne isn’t glamming up clients, she’s cherishing time with her husband and juggling life with their four energetic kids.
Meet Corinne
Evelyn, one of our talented hair and makeup artists, has a natural ability to help clients feel confident, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful the moment they sit in her chair. Her calm presence and thoughtful approach create a grounding start to each boudoir experience. When Evelyn isn’t working her magic in the studio, she’s soaking up life as a mom of two, a proud (and surprisingly young!) grandma of two, loving on her fur babies, fitting in reformer Pilates, and chasing sunshine through beach days and travel.

Katie is our go-to for creating a calm and empowering atmosphere, helping clients feel instantly at ease. With her keen eye and knack for outfit coordination, she ensures every session is polished to perfection. When she’s not crafting beautiful images, Katie is either lost in a good book from her growing collection or making memories during impromptu dance-offs with her toddler and husband.
Meet Amanda
Amanda believes every woman deserves to feel beautiful, and she’s honored to capture that through her lens. Her passion for photography began early and continues to grow with each client she serves. Inspired by light and real emotion, her work feels natural, classic, and full of beauty. Known for her warm, thoughtful presence, Amanda helps clients feel at ease and truly seen. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and together they’re raising two little ones while finding joy in life’s simple moments.
