NORFOLK & VIRGINIA BEACH BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE BOLD AND BADASS
LET YOUR FREAK FLAG FLY
METALHEAD, HYPEWOMAN, ENNEAGRAM 8
💜 Not a makeover: A meeting with the version of you that stopped apologizing.
💜 No permission needed: Show up exactly as you are. I’ll guide every pose, every breath, every moment.
💜 Come as you are: No shrinking. No apologizing. No waiting for a “better” body.
💜 All of you belongs here: Soft. Bold. Nervous. Wild. Curious. Healing. Becoming.
💜 Safe enough to let go: Consent and boundaries are spoken out loud, revisited and honored. Nothing happens without a yes.
💜 See yourself differently: Not transformed. Remembered. This is who you’ve always been.
I'M LEZANDRA, AND I'M HERE TO HELP YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

"LeZandra showed me the parts I hate are parts I have no reason to hate.
I haven't felt this level of freedom in a long time. I will never be able to thank her enough for this."
MEET ME →
At 14, I told my conservative mother I wanted to spend my life helping people see themselves clearly. While studying psychology in Hawaii, I picked up a camera and never put it down.
I'm a metalhead with a psychology degree, a 1,200-piece client closet, and zero interest in helping you blend in. For more than 16 years, I've photographed women, men and couples in my private Norfolk studio. Most of them walked in nervous. All of them walked out a little louder.
I don't fix anyone. I open the door, guide every pose, and let the light do the heavy lifting. All you have to do is stop asking permission.

As Seen In
The Coterie Noir named me one of the Top Black Boudoir Photographers of 2025, and I was featured in PPA Magazine that same year.
I also teach other photographers how I do what I do: couples boudoir at WPPI, the world’s largest photography conference; at The Boudoir Class Camp Maui in 2023; as a guest educator at Denise Birdsong’s Stripped Down Boudoir Workshop; and this fall at the AIBP retreat.
But my favorite moment is still the one where a client sees her images for the first time and goes quiet. That’s the moment she remembers. Dark, opulent, and safe enough to finally let go.

"It's not about seducing men. It's about embracing womanhood."
“It’s easier for me to look at myself as a sensual human being. Looking at the images from our couples shoot reminds me that we are so hot, and the only thing I need to do is enjoy myself and each other.”

WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
FAQs
Sessions take place in our gorgeous Downtown Norfolk Boudoir studio. Our studio is a private 4,500 sq ft space dedicated exclusively to boudoir and erotica and has been decorated with beautiful sets to complement your photos.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO POSE. WILL YOU HELP?
OF COURSE!!!
Everyone has something they feel self-conscious about, and that's completely normal. My job is to highlight what you love most about yourself and help you see your beauty in a new light! Nearly every client feels nervous at first—this is often their first time stepping out of their comfort zone for something like this.
I’ll guide you through every step of the process, from preparation to posing. I’ll style and light you in ways that make you feel like the badass you already are! With pre-session planning, personalized mood boards, styling advice, and custom touches to enhance your experience, I’m here to ensure you feel supported and celebrated.
My goal is to help you escape into a world where your beauty and confidence shine!
WHO IS PRESENT DURING MY SESSION?
I work with an all female team. When you come for your session you will be welcomed by myself, my Studio Manager, my makeup artist and hair stylist.
WILL MY IMAGES BE SHARED?
Images are only shared with a signed Model Release from our clients. We take privacy very seriously and you have final say in what you share. All of the clients on our website have signed a release to have their images shared.
DO YOU PROVIDE THE OUTFITS?
You can bring your own or you can take advantage of our Studio Wardrobe!
We can help you decide on what to bring! We have a 1,200+ piece size inclusive closet that is constantly being updated with beautiful pieces for you to use for your session!
In addition to outfits, we have gorgeous shoes, jewelry, and accessories available for your use!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?
I typically book sessions weeks to months in advance! Clients can schedule up to 12 months out and take advantage of our In House Pre-Payment Plan!
I recommend scheduling 6-8 weeks before you need your physical products to ensure enough time for your products to be created.
However, we do take on last minute requests, so please do not hesitate to ask!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
Your Fully Retouched Digital Files will be ready for oyu to take home the day of your Unveiling appointment!
I typically have images edited within 2-3 weeks of your session.
Album and Wall Art turnaround time varies between 5-15 business days depending on the products chosen.

“I’m not good with words but LeZandra is awesome with them. She makes your experience with her very memorable. She makes sure you are fully comfortable doing each pose by showing you herself in that pose before you do it. Her space is beautiful she has a room for any style of boudoir you want to take. You will come out of the shoot with the best confidence boost and mental reset. Your pictures will be the best around. I’ve done several shoots with her and only trust her with my boudoir pictures.”

“I had an amazing experience with LeZandra. The studio session gave me the confidence boost I desperately needed. From beginning to end she was patient and thoughtful. She really listened and helped with through my insecurities. I was worried that I wouldn’t like any of the images from my session and ended up loving most of them! Everyone should book a session with LeZandra. I will definitely plan another session with her soon.”

“My experience with LeZandra photography was one I will truly never forget! From starting with hair and makeup experts, to amazing posing techniques, she made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. My images came out INCREDIBLE because of her experience and expertise! I know I will look back at my beautiful pictures for many years to come. I could not recommend her enough!”

“Such an amazing experience. I’ve never felt so empowered - LeZandra is the ultimate hype-woman! It was way more powerful than just taking pretty pics. I will definitely be booking another session. Also giant thanks for this awesome lady going the extra mile to move up my viewing. All in all, this experience was well worth the investment. I’ve had shoots for less but they in no way compared to the level of service or satisfaction I felt with LeZandra start to finish. Just book the session already!”

“Working with LeZandra was a DREAM! Despite my initial doubts and insecurities, I scheduled a session to regain lost/forgotten self-confidence, self-love, and appreciation for my body as it is. LeZandra has such an infectious energy that immediately puts you at ease, starting with the planning process. The information and helpful tips she provides are on point! The day of my shoot, all my anxiety and apprehension vanished upon walking into the studio space. The music, lighting, artwork, furniture, etc. is a whole vibe. After the hair and makeup artists (who were amazing!!) were finished, my reveal left me stunned. I felt ready! I was never uncomfortable during the shoot with LeZandra. She is an incredible hype woman!!! Her energy, affirmations, and detailed instructions made me feel confident, beautiful, and sexy. Her ability to help you see yourself through someone else’s lens (literally) is unmatched. My photo reveal session was equally awe-inspiring. LeZandra was as excited to show the images as I was to see them! Having these images to look back on and remember those full-body feelings is priceless. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking to rekindle their personal flame.”

“My boudoir experience with LeZandra was amazing! She gives lots of great advice during the planning phase, and I loved brainstorming my vision with her. She listens to what you want out of the experience and makes sure it happens. I felt so pampered with the professional hair and makeup on the day of my session. During the session she was the ultimate hype woman and I left my session feeling beautiful and empowered! The final pictures were amazing and perfectly captured both the softness and strength that I wanted them to. If you’re thinking of treating yourself to boudoir, I highly recommend LeZandra!”
