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.

What started as a surprise for my anniversary became exactly what I needed during my divorce. Annika is not only an incredible photographer but she feels it and makes you feel incredible in your own skin. Her bubbly personality, skill, and creative eye leave you obsessed with the pictures, and she gave me back the confidence I had lost.

I had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot but I was intimidated by my age and extra weight. Annika of Ma Cherie put me at ease, coached me through the process, and brought out the best in me. I am so pleased with the results and I still feel beautiful.

I traveled for work and, after following Ma Cherie Studios for years, I drove 5 hours from Miami to St. Petersburg for a boudoir shoot with Annika. She is sweet, professional, and guides you from concept to hair and makeup, even greeting you with a glass of bubbly. The experience boosted my confidence and the photos are one of the best experiences of my life.

From my first call with Annika in January 2021 to meeting her in December, I felt safe, understood, and celebrated. The lingerie picks were perfect, the poses doable, and the shoot was joyful; the reveal left me speechless and radiant, like a sultry goddess shedding insecurities with every outfit change. Annika is incredibly kind and talented, and I cannot wait to work with her again.

Annika is amazing from the initial consult to the day of the shoot. She is thorough, thoughtful, and makes you feel like a celebrity, and I already rebooked another shoot. I got all my images in two weeks and I love how they turned out.

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.
