Maybe Later . . .
You’ve thought about booking a boudoir session…
Maybe more than once.
You’ve checked out a few websites.
Looked at the photographs.
Maybe even imagined yourself in them.
Then you close the tab.
And tell yourself,
“Maybe later.”
Because the doubts have started:
“I’m not photogenic.”
“I need to lose some weight first.”
“I don’t have the confidence.”
“I want to do this…
but honestly, I’m scared.”
So you wait.
You tell yourself you’ll do it
when you feel better about yourself,
when your body changes,
when you feel more confident.
when you’re less afraid.
But what if you’re not supposed to wait?
What if you don’t have to arrive confident?
What if you don’t have to know how to pose?
What if you don’t have to consider yourself photogenic?
What if you don’t have to have the “perfect” body?
Because That’s My Job!
The approach I take is gentle, guided, and intentional.
I create minimalist, classic, timeless
black-and-white fine art portraits
designed to celebrate you exactly as you are.
There are no trends to chase.
No pressure to perform.
No expectation that you already know what to do.
Just thoughtful direction,
beautiful light,
and a space where you can relax and be yourself.
And so somewhere along the way, something often shifts:
You begin to see yourself differently.
Not through the critical eyes you may have become accustomed to . . .
but through the eyes of someone who sees your beauty, your strength, your femininity, and the woman you have become.
You simply have to be willing to take the first step.
Even if you’re a little scared.

About Linda
Hi, I am Linda and I believe that every woman should have a beautiful boudoir portrait session no matter her age, status, size, etc. For once she does, she falls in love with herself all over again and in turn she greets the world with a renewed sense of spirit, love of self and confidence.
I have a loft studio in my 100 year old farmhouse as well as a Secret Garden designed with portrait sessions in mind. Our venues include a waterfall, pond, flowering plants, outdoor shower, Southern front porch complete with white pillars, and an old fashioned tree swing.
“Beautiful,” “empowered”, “strong” are words I hear when I have the privilege of photographing women. It is all about getting her in touch with herself and to see what I see behind the lens — a beautiful woman!
Annapolis Boudoir Photography is located in Davidsonville, MD. We serve greater Annapolis area, Baltimore, Washington, the Eastern Shore and Delaware.
The Woman Behind the Lens
What Others Are Saying
When I came across Linda McCarthy with Annapolis Boudoir I knew this was the right fit! Linda is not only a seasoned professional, but such a genuinely kind person. From the moment that I entered her house I felt a calm come over me. I was nervous because I was far from the body type I figured I’d have when doing this but Linda has a way of just making you feel at home and comfortable. After the 1st couple of shots any sense of anxiety was replaced with confidence and excitement. It’s truly rare to find someone that can make you feel that comfortable! Let alone on the 1st time meeting them and in lingerie! Linda truly has a gift. Not only with her natural ability to make you feel completely at ease, but with her gorgeous photography skills. I’m truly so happy that I put my hesitations aside and invested in this experience. If you’re on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot, I would absolutely recommend Linda. You will walk out of there feeling so empowered and I look forward to doing another session in the future!

I had a great experience at Annapolis Boudoir. Linda immediately put me at ease with soft music, chocolate covered strawberries and a professional hair and makeup person. She was able to pose my body expertly to show off my curves for maximum effect. The natural light in her 100 year old farmhouse/studio is gorgeous. She has a studio in the attic, a huge front porch with gorgeous columns and several gardens outside that she uses for sets. I followed the guidance she gave me before the shoot and it made the experience go smoothly so that we got all the shots I wanted and then some. Linda took my vision and brought it to life in a way I never imagined possible. She is so organized, thoughtful, talented and personable that the entire experience so far has just been wonderful. The raw shots came out better than I imagined and with her expert editing I can only imagine how gorgeous the final product will be. I probably won’t even recognize myself! 5/5 stars. I can’t recommend Linda and Annapolis Boudoir highly enough. – Vicki C.
I saw Linda’s Facebook post and decided to explore the possibility of doing something way out of my comfort zone. I reached out to Linda and during our interactions, I saw in her empathy. She gave me her undivided attention to what I was saying. She listened and understood and she guided me every step of the way. She eased my fears and through the session, something awakened in me that lay dormant for many years. . . .
When I saw my images in my album, I saw beauty, strength, empowerment, femininity, sensuality. I own it! I was overwhelmed with emotion because for the first time ever I see myself the way I am meant to be. What a gift!
