About

Me

I am a boudoir photographer serving the Tampa Bay area (and I travel a lot for shoots!). My in-home studio is located in St Pete FL where I live with my adorable pup and less adorable boyfriend ;)

I am so excited that you are here! Boudoir photography is all I have ever done professionally, and I cannot wait to share my passion with you!

About

the Boudoir

Photography

Experience

It is so important to take moments out of each day and just love yourself. Put yourself first, you're worth it. Doing a session with me isn't just a shoot, it's an experience, a mind-set change, and above all a celebration.

The gorgeous images you are left with are the cherry on top: the perfect way to surprise your partner and make their jaw drop to the floor, to regain power of your body and rediscover yourself, and to ignite that bombshell that is often hiding under proper office attire.

I could not have asked for a better experience with Ma Cherie Studios and Annika. She made every step flawless and comfortable, and the final product shows it. She was incredibly accommodating and turned a last minute wedding gift into an enjoyable experience, even having a ready product before the big day.

This was my first boudoir shoot and I felt shy, but Annika gave me confidence, comfort, and trust. She guides you through every step, makes it a collaborative experience, and the photos feel like art. I left feeling beautiful again and I highly recommend her, including the hair and makeup option with Corrine.

As an artist I’m always open to new ways to express myself, and a photo shoot with Annika in St Pete sounded fun. She made me feel comfortable and guided every pose, so I could just be in the moment. The photos blew me away, especially the shots of Sam and me, and Sam’s face when he looks at them is priceless.
