There's more to your story.
There comes a moment when you decide to stop shrinking. When the parts of you that have been quiet for so long begin begging to be seen.
Shadows & Grace was born for that moment.
It's where the weight of self-doubt begins to loosen,
and where the woman you've carried inside yourself, the one with the softness, fire and presence, is brought into the light and given room to breathe.
In this space, nothing is forced.
You're not asked to perform, you're guided to feel.
To move the way your body wants to move.
To let pieces of yourself rise to the surface,
without apology.
It's time TO step out of the shadows, and into your own light.
challenges you might be facing:
You question if you're "enough"— good enough, beautiful enough, worthy enough...(Spoiler, you are.)
You've been pouring into everyone else, leaving little time or space to reconnect with yourself, or your partner.
The idea of letting yourself be fully visible, flaws, beauty and everything in between feels both terrifying and liberating.
if any of this feels familiar, shadows & grace is the perfect experience to meet you where you are.
“I’ll be honest. I’m 64 years old so I thought I was too old for something like this. Shadows & Grace showed me that beauty has no expiration date. Seeing myself in thEse portraits reminded me that every chapter of my life deserves
to be celebrated.”
— Miss H.

“I'd run companies, lead teams, and made strategic decisions, but I had no idea who
I was when the demands stopped.”
The idea of posing terrified me. I thought I'd look stiff, exposed, or just ridiculous. But Latasha didn't ask me to put on a show. She asked me to breathe. To close my eyes and lean into whatever emotions surfaced. My self-imposed pressure to "do it right" immediately disappeared. What remained was me. Unguarded, unfiltered and free.
For once, I wasn't in control, and yet, I'd never felt more powerful.
— MISS P.
“I thought boudoir was too indulgent.
It was as if spending on myself would take something from everyone else.”
As a single mom, I felt guilty spending on anything that wasn't for my kids. I didn't realize that in a way, this was for my kids too. My session shifted something inside of me.
For the first time in years, I felt a joy that belonged to me.
Not as a mother, not as a caretaker, but as a woman.
Latasha gave me permission to be me. Every time I see my photos, I'm reminded that choosing myself isn't selfish.
It's survival.
— miss t.
“I didn't come to Shadows & Grace
to be fixed. I was never broken.”
I wanted this experience because I wanted to celebrate the woman I've worked so hard to become Too often, experiences, like this are are framed as a cure for self-doubt. But for me, it was about reverence, not repair. I wasn't chasing confidence. I wanted to take up the space that I deserved. Space that honored me, respected me and allowed me to be me without apologies. I honored the fact that I am already whole, already powerful and already worthy of being seen exactly as I am, extra pounds and all.
— MISS G.
“I expected to walk away with beautiful photos, but what I didn’t expect was how I’d carry the feeling with me long after the session was over.”
I booked my session after a really hard time in my life when it felt like the world was against me. I thought it would just be a photoshoot, but it was a turning point that led me back to prioritizing myself. My pictures are beautiful, but what I carry with me is the memory of the day I decided to stop hiding from everything I knew I deserved and really just look at myself with more love and compassion for myself.
— MISS F.

“I didn't think it would be worth it. It was. I didn't think it would work for me. It did. I didn't think I'd be *that* success story. I am.”
Was I nervous at first? Yes, absolutely! But once I settled into the studio, I felt so at peace. Such a blend of emotions. Gratitude, nerves, fear and challenge. But grace, softness and purity as well. Everything just felt calm and intentional. With Latasha's guidance, I never feltpressured. I felt seen, respected...even catered to. I let so much lighter than I came in, and every portrait reminds me of that sense of calm, ease and grace.
— Miss R.
“We thought we would feel awkward being photographed in intimate portraits, but Latasha made us so comfortable. We were able to just be ourselves.
This photoshoot brought us even closer. The session gave us space to pause, hold each other, and just be in the moment with no distractions. Both of us focusing all our attention on each other. We laughed, we kissed, we cried, we forgot the camera was even there. When we saw our photos, we felt raw, real and beautiful. We will remember this experience forever.
— Mr. and Mrs. L.
“I can't even begin to explain how transformative this has been for me. I felt so beautiful and strong throughout my session.
I got everything I needed from my photoshoot. I saw beautiful, soft, feminine, strong...I saw so many different sides of me. All beautiful. Working with Latasha was so easy. She is so warm, friendly and kind. I'm grateful that I documented this moment in my life. I had major surgery shortly after. I will always remember this experince.
— Miss A.
MEET Your
PHOTOGRAPHER
LATASHA NICOLE
As a boudoir photographer, I create intimate, luxury portrait experiences for women and couples who are ready to step out of the shadows and into their own light.
My story began the same way so many of my clients' stories do—in the shadows. There was a time when I felt like many of the women that step inside my studio. Doubtful, fearful, uncertain, disconnected.
Those moments are exactly why I built Shadows & Grace: to create a space where others could experience the peace, freedom and confidence that I once had to fight to find.
Now, every portrait I capture is intended to honor so much more than just your appearance. They tell your story with depth, celebrating your transformation, and creating artwork that reminds you of your strength for many more years to come. Let's tell your story.
BEHIND
the COURSE
With gentle encouragement and an art director's eye, I collaborate with my couples to create effortlessly editorial images full of pure love, stunning backdrops, and natural moments (with just enough guidance!)
Light is my biggest inspiration, and I find weddings to be complex, joyous, fashion-filled, emotional, utterly beautiful celebrations that I can't get enough of.

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Q's)
Do i need to know how to pose? or have modeling experience?
Not at all. Most of my clients have never been in front of a camera before. I'll guide you gently through every movement so that everything feels natural. You are never forced to perform certain poses, pose nude or do anything outside of your comfort zone.

Unlike traditional boudoir sessions, the Shadows & Grace campaign does require a release for the use of your image and likeness for promotional and marketing purposes. If captured, nudes are never shared publicly.
Shadows & Grace is open to women & couples 21+. Celebrate your individuality, or capture the connection you share together with an experience curated just for you.
