Whether you've been through hell and back or you're sick and tired of the mom bun and yoga pants, come spend a day with me and I promise to hype you up with all the "YAS GIRL" that your ears can handle. Let your hair down, sip on a mimosa or two and come get naked with me! Totally not intimidating, right? Let's do this!
I specialize in Boudoir photography and Women's Intimate Portraits, servicing Stafford, Virginia. I have a full luxury home studio which means you can show up and we take care of everything! From professional hair and makeup to lingerie, we have it all! That basically means I photograph hot girls in their undies...but why?
Why would anyone in their right mind come to my house and let me see them in their most vulnerable state? Because you're fed up? You're over feeling like shit about yourself. You want to feel sexy again and prove to yourself and everyone around you that, "HELLO, I'm still here and I'm still fabulous, regardless".
That's just it, regardless of what you've been through or where you plan to go, you deserve this. Put YOURself first and dive into an experience that scares the hell out of you, but deep down inside you know you got it...and I can help you.
I believe every woman deserves a beautiful image of herself. Boudoir has given me that drive to prove to all women that they are worth it. Think I can't make you "look like those other girls"? Let me prove your ass WRONG. It's for every body and every women. I embrace all body types into my studio to show you that you can be feminine, sexy and confident! Anyone who has ever felt less than pretty, not skinny enough, too old, too tall...whatever! Let me show you how to feel good about yourself in the body you have now.
Trust that I will guide you every step of the way to bring out that inner beauty that I see in all of you. I don't expect you to walk off the runway and know what to do! That's my job! Just show up, get your hair did, try on some beautiful clothes and RELAX! I got you.
Not only do these images make a great gift for your spouse or loved one, but it's the most important gift is for yourself! Believe in yourself a little bit more.

"My first and BEST boudoir experience ever!!! The confidence that I have re-found in myself is priceless. I cannot thank Karla enough for helping bring My Sexy Back!" - Carrianne
Here at Karla Mason Boudoir, I understand that coming over to get naked with me can be scary! I just want to make sure that you are 100% comfortable in choosing me as your photographer, so please don't be afraid to ask. Here are some commonly asked questions from our clients. Have more questions? Please feel free to contact me by completing the form below!
HOW DO I BOOK WITH YOU?
To book a session with me, all you have to do shoot me an email or complete the contact form below to set up your phone consult. We'll go over all the details and questions you have regarding your session, including pricing. Every session is tailored for YOU, so once you feel comfortable and ready to book your experience, I can take your booking fee over the phone or you can pay by invoice. Once you have paid, you're in the calendar, woohoo! I'll send over your Welcome guide, Questionnaire, Contract and Prep Guide to get this party started!
DO YOU TRAVEL?
YES, I will travel. You'll just need to cover all travel costs, rental cars and airbnb accommodations if you'd like to me to come to your city! Grab some girlfriends and split the cost! I recommend 5-6 girls to make it a weekend of fun! If you'd like to come to me, you can visit me at my home studio in Stafford, VA.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I HAVE MY SESSION?
I suggest having your session at least 4 weeks before you need your products in hand, so we're not missing any special dates!
IS THE BOOKING FEE APPLIED TO MY ORDER?
Nope, the booking fee is separate from your product order. Your booking fee covers all your prep information, hair and makeup, the shoot time with me, access to my client closet, as well as your viewing and ordering appointment. All prints and products are sold separately at your viewing session! Want more info on pricing? Just set up your phone consult here or contact me at 571-331-4839 and leave a message (I won't answer if I don't recognize the number, sorry stalkers).
IF I DO MY OWN HAIR & MAKEUP IS THERE A DISCOUNT?
Hair and makeup is a complimentary service, so the booking fee remains the same whether you use it or not BUT I can tell you, you WANT them to do your hair and makeup! My girls are fabulous and won't disappoint. We always make sure you are 100% satisfied with your look before we start your session, so just come, relax and enjoy a mimosa or 3! If you prefer to do your own makeup/hair there is a process you must go through with me to be approved, I'm not going to risk you showing up looking a hot mess. I'm going to be honest with you, trust and believe.
WHAT IS THE VIEWING AND ORDERING APPOINTMENT?
Your reveal session, or viewing and ordering appointment, takes place 4-7 days after you have your session. You'll come in to view your images for the first time and choose the products that are right for you. We'll go through a slideshow together and then go through them one-by-one to pick your favorites. There are certainly ways to get them all but many do narrow them down into an album or custom collection. Every session is so different and every client is doing this for a different reason so the reveal session is tailored for you and your needs, prices vary.
WHAT IS THE TURN AROUND TIME TO GET MY PRODUCTS?
Once you pay for your products in full it takes about 7-14 business days to get your products in. So, just be mindful of that when planning your special occasions.
DO YOU SELL DIGITAL FILES?
I do have a fully inclusive digital collection! It's a great way to get ALL your images without having to narrow any of them down. You may also receive your digitals in our top Gold Collection along with some other gorgeous products!
CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY SESSION?
You sure can! Bring a friend or spouse with you if you'd like during the hair and makeup process. There are no boys allowing in the shooting area. They are more than welcome to hang out downstairs or do some shopping while we are taking photos. If you do have a girlfriend hanging out there is a no cell phone rule unless you are doing behind the scenes photos for me. Yup, if you have your phone I'm making you work ;)
WHAT IF I START MY PERIOD BEFORE MY SESSION?
That's totally fine and a really common concern that clients have. I do not reschedule for periods. As long as you are comfortable wearing a tampon we are good to go. If you have other concerns regarding your cycle, just let me know and we can certainly work around it!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE, WILL YOU HELP ME?
Absolutely! I don't expect you to walk off the runway and know what to do. I don't photograph models. I photograph everyday women like yourself that are wanting this experience for the day! As long as you can follow simple directions, you can do this. The first 10-20 minutes we'll go over the guidelines of posing and I'm telling you what to do the entire time! Every photo you see was posed and directed by me so don't worry girlfriend, I got you!
DOES EVERYONE GET NAKED?
No, not everyone does! When you book your session I send out a questionnaire to get to know you a little better and we cover this very question! I ask you your comfort level and that helps me with posing ideas and outfit choices. The white sheets "outfit" is a great way to do implied nude without seeing all the goodies. If you feel comfortable enough in the end and want to do some nudes, we can certainly do that, but it's not required. I want you to feel comfortable and beautiful in your own way!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
This is a great question! Again, once you book in I will send out a boudoir prep guide to help you get ready for your experience. It's filled with all the "dos and don'ts" for your session including a Lingerie Guide (which you can get for free here on the website by entering your email, hint hint). This is a simple but useful guide to help you shop for your body type. It has places I like to shop locally and online to find the right style for you. If you have no clue what to do or where to start, you can simply bring your own undies and have full reign of my client closet. It's filled with over 400 pieces from sizes XS-4X and you're more than welcome to wear my pieces for your session. I'll have some lingerie choices picked for you the day of or you can set up an in-person consult to try on some pieces before your session. I do suggest you bring 1-2 pieces of lingerie with you that you have tried on and LIKE, just in case there is nothing that you prefer from my closet...but lets be honest. I'm a lingerie addict and there WILL be something for you!
WHAT IS YOUR RESCHEDULING/CANCELLATION POLICY?
Everyone must sign a rescheduling contract upon booking a session. The fee to reschedule is $150 for any reason to move your date and there is also a separate cancellation and no show fee as well. Thank you much for understanding.
DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY IMAGES ONLINE?
HECK NO. I never make you do something you're not comfortable with! There are plenty of ladies who have had a session with me and you'll never see one photo. This is a choice that you all make after your session is complete. You have 3 choices on how your images are shared, if at all.
*Due at the time and date of choosing
Booking your experience requires a Session Fee that includes:
• Booking your session with an optional in-person consultation
• Preparation and planning for your photo shoot lasting up to 2 hours
• Professional hair & make-up provided for your session
• Access to my boudoir closet
• Signature editing of your images
• Personal viewing & ordering session
• The opportunity to change the way you see yourself
All prints and products are sold separately at your viewing and ordering session. Products and albums begin at $1800 and collections begin at $2500. Some people stay around that minimum price and some spend more, but EVERYONE gets an option for payment plan to pay them off at your convenience.
Damn, wasn't expecting it to be that price? That's ok! I understand that your experience is an investment and offer several payment plan options. This way you can pay off your products slowly, however your budget allows. If you're not in a time-crunch to get your photos, you can always do a payment plan through me.
Can't wait? I have a couple of awesome companies that will allow you to get your products now and pay them off slowly, from 6-12 month payment options. WHEW, that's a relief, huh?
Once you decide on this amazing experience for yourself, complete the contact form below and I will be in touch with you to set up your phone consult. During our call, we'll go over the whole process together, including pricing and the amazing payment plans. Your session will only be confirmed once you select a date and pay your booking fee. From there, we will start the personalized boudoir experience with your very own boudoir prep guide, where we go over everything on how to prepare! I can't wait to hear from you!
