Since the very first time I picked up a camera, almost two decades ago, I’ve been dedicated to perfecting my craft. While studying photography in college, my passion for portraits became evident. I relished every opportunity to shoot a subject in an epic location, with epic natural lighting…and that’s how I found my niche in outdoor boudoir!
Since graduating with my BFA in 2018, I’ve had the pleasure of planning and shooting hundreds of empowering portrait sessions for people from all walks of life. I’ve been coached and mentored by some of the industry’s top boudoir photographers, and I’ve attended workshops and conferences across the country, learning all the best techniques to make your boudoir experience unforgettable. I think it’s safe to say, my dedication to my craft isn’t going away anytime soon - I LOVE what I do!
If you’re ready to connect with your inner goddess and want a truly unique boudoir experience beyond what a studio can offer, we might just be the perfect fit for each other. Now, go check out my portfolio and see the kind of images I want to create for YOU!

I'm a huge animal lover - always have been and always will be! That's my adorable Boston Terrier puppy, Daisy, in the photo above. She's the unofficial Gaia Boudoir mascot and my office assistant (even though she likes to nap on the job).

When I'm not taking photos, you can most likely find me singing. Well, I mean, I totally sing while I'm taking photos too, but I'm also a vocalist in a local rock band!

Ari is such an amazing photographer! She made me feel so beautiful, flawless, confident, comfortable and like a badass boss during my first ever boudoir shoot even though I am not the most confident on the daily. Ari's photos are breathtaking. I did a couple double takes and couldn't believe it was actually me, the most confident version of me that I never knew existed. It was a truly life changing experience getting professionally shot by Ari on the beautiful beach and indoors. Ari makes sure to demonstrate the poses, is super patient and hypes you up during the shoot so that you feel like you can conquer the world. The photos looked incredible but absolutely genuine and real. The hair and makeup artist Christianna is also amazing and made me feel so beautiful. Amazing work from both! Would highly recommend.

Ari is absolutely incredible! I’ve done multiple shoots with her and was so happy with every one. She’s so easy and fun to work with and she is so skilled at what she does.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ari. Not only is she incredibly professional and accommodating, she makes you feel like an absolute goddess. I did a public shoot and still felt comfortable, confident, and safe knowing she was right there with me. 10000/10 will do again!

I had such an amazing experience with Ari of Gaia Boudoir!! She made everything feel so natural and beautiful. I'm in love with all my photos and my whole experience overall!! I would 1000% recommend Ari to anyone who asked me about doing a boudoir shoot or any of her awesome sessions that she offers!!

The talent behind this woman is incredible. I’d tell another woman to absolutely hire Ari as their boudoir photographer as she guides you through the process, ensures you’re comfortable, and boosts your self confidence! She makes sure she captures the best angles and lighting and the photos are nothing short of perfection. You’ll forget every flaw you ever thought you had during your viewing session.

I absolutely adored working with Ari! I've worked with her multiple times and she made me feel so completely comfortable and at ease, and confident in front of the camera. She was incredible warm and professional, and the quality of her work is beyond what I could have ever hoped for. I cannot recommend her photography services enough!
