DEFINE BEAUTY,
ON YOUR OWN TERMS

You’ve been wanting have a boudoir photoshoot for a while

But you wanted something more artistic, more timeless, more you. Welcome to Mateus Studios where inner beauty and strength take center stage in a way that’s uniquely you.

you are ready to UNLEASH your inner badass

My clients have shared that I am facilitator of self-love, here to help you embrace your light with a sprinkle of sass and badassery.
I got you!

YOU WANT TO embrace your EVOLVING body
with CONFIDENCE

I’d love to be your ally in this empowering exploration of self.
My approach is all about celebrating you — your body,
your journey, your strength in the most artistic way.

Artistry over conformity
IS the vibe

CELEBRATING YOU IS THE INTENTION

Boudoir is not about
fitting a mold. It’s about celebrating the scars,
the stretch marks, the things that make you human and real.

It’s about capturing your raw emotions, your unique energy, and the moments that make you feel alive—whether it’s the joy of the present or the quiet beauty of introspection.

With a modern, minimalist approach, we’ll create something truly artistic that’s a reflection of who you are at your core.

I’ll be there to cheer you on every step of the way, making sure you feel empowered, confident, and ready to show up as your most authentic self.

taking up space
is a fierce act
of rebellion

a defiance against a world that tries to control
how we look, feel, and exist.

When you stand before the camera, you’re not just posing, you’re daring the world to see you as you truly are: unfiltered, unedited, and unapologetically you.

Vulnerability is power. By shedding the armor of perfection and embracing your rawness, you step into a freedom that can’t be confined by society’s narrow standards. It’s not about fitting a mold—it’s about rejecting it entirely and choosing to exist on your
own terms.

My images are stunning!
Michele showed me
that I am beautiful
and worth the time
and effort to be in photos

PEARL

“Michele is such a pleasure to work with, very supportive and is incredible at what she does. The photos are stunning! She created such a safe space to just be fully expressed and feel so confident in my own skin. Thank you!.”

SARAH

“Michele is professional, kind, compassionate and an overall great person who has a way of making you feel seen in your authenticity. Some photographers sessions can feel rigged and too “structured”, with not a lot of room for creativity.
My boudoir photoshoot with Michele felt like I was chatting with a friend and it just felt natural. I would definitely recommend her for your next boudoir photoshoot!”

“She’s more than just a photographer,
she’s a facilitator of
radical self acceptance”
