THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA

I’m Rylee.
Come as you are.

I’m a queer photographer and filmmaker. I’ve been making photographs and films since 2015, and I’ve guided over 400 boudoir sessions.

You don’t have to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll help you find your footing, then leave room for you to be yourself.

The person matters more
than the photograph.

Your boundaries come first. Your photographs can stay private.

Prices, privacy & other booking questions

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

A few things
you might be wondering.

What does the $199 session include?

Portrait Pop-Ups are 20-minute outdoor mini sessions with 8 edited photographs, posing guidance, a private digital gallery, and a personal printing release. It’s for individuals, couples, and immediate families, at one location on selected dates along my route.

How do the Tampa Bay pop-ups work?

Choose a pop-up date and request a preferred time. The proposed park locations are awaiting clearance. I’ll confirm the location, weather plan, total, and exact appointment before you sign an agreement or pay. A request does not reserve a time. See the pop-up dates.

Is there a travel fee?

There’s no travel fee for sessions in my confirmed regions during the listed dates. Optional studio rental, permits, and applicable tax are explained before you pay. Weddings, commercial work, and trips outside those dates receive a written quote for the full scope.

What if my state or date isn’t on the route?

Choose your state and send an invitation. Tell me your city, approximate timing, and what you have in mind. I can shape the uncommitted parts of my route around people and projects; existing bookings stay fixed. We’ll confirm the plan and total before you commit.

Do I need to know how to pose?

No. I’ll guide you, help with where to stand and what to do, and leave room for movement and real moments. You don’t need a special occasion to have this part of your life photographed.

When is my session officially booked?

Send your preferred date and session in the form. I’ll confirm availability and send the agreement and payment details. Your signed agreement and required payment reserve the date. Released appointment times can also be reserved on the session calendar.

Will my photographs become part of the public project?

Only with your permission. Booking photography and agreeing to public sharing are separate decisions. You can hire me and keep your photographs private.

What about weather, delivery, or payment plans?

We’ll agree on your location, weather plan, delivery window, and payment schedule before you book. Those details go in your agreement so you know what to expect. Weddings and larger projects have their own timelines.
