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.

After discovering Annika on my explore page years ago, I finally booked a session. She makes you look sexy with tricks you learn; the more awkward a pose felt, the better the photo. Her calm, warm demeanor eased my nerves and her photo selection system helped me love all my images.

I discovered Ma Cherie Studios on Instagram and booked my first shoot after following. Annika is sweet and makes you feel amazing, listening to what you want and guiding you through every step in a calm, zen studio. In St. Pete, add hair and makeup to see the dream team of boudoir with Annika and Corrine.

This is my second 5-star review because I loved my photos so much the first time I had to come back. Annika is the absolute best with the phone consult, Pinterest board, and quick replies, making my boudoir shoot a perfect welcome home gift with amazing photos. This experience has made me feel more confident and beautiful, and I highly recommend her.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Annika. She made me feel completely comfortable and safe for a boudoir shoot, even helping with outfits and poses and providing accessories. The end product left me speechless—the photos were breathtaking and made me feel more beautiful than I ever have.

She is down to earth, easy going, and great at giving directions if you’re unsure what to do. She’s professional and a joy to work with. I’m not always comfortable around photographers, especially boudoir, but she made it easy.

Annika is the best in the game. Before my shoot I was anxious, but she treated me like a friend and made me feel instantly comfortable. She walked me through everything and by the end I didn’t want it to end; I had a blast and felt amazing about myself.

My boudoir experience exceeded my expectations. Annika was professional from day one and answered every question; I felt comfortable the moment I stepped into the studio. She is extremely talented and the products are breathtaking, and I plan to do another shoot. If you’re on the fence, do it.

For 26 years I disliked my reflection and found fault in every part of my body. After a session with Annika (and Corine), I now see a strong, beautiful woman looking back and I’ve never felt self-love like this. I tell everyone to try boudoir with Annika because the confidence is unlike anything I’ve experienced.

Annika is amazing. I finally did a shoot after years, and it was the easiest, smoothest process. She guided me every step and her warm, patient personality made it fun and empowering; the photos took my breath away and made me feel strong and beautiful.
