ABOUT ME

IMMORTALIZING Emotion

IN EVERY GLANCE AND CURVE

Every woman carries a story—one of resilience, softness, fire, and grace. My work is about honoring that story through intimate, artful portraiture. With each session, I create a space where you can feel seen, celebrated, and empowered—where vulnerability becomes a brushstroke and confidence becomes the canvas.

This is more than photography.
It’s a love letter—to the version of you that’s always deserved to be adored.

ABOUT ME

HELLO Beautiful Souls, I’M MATINA CORDELL…

My journey into boudoir photography began as a spark of curiosity—an invitation to explore a new way of capturing beauty, strength, and intimacy. When I first attended a boudoir workshop, I thought, Why not create art that celebrates the bold, the vulnerable, and the fiercely confident?

Since 2014, I’ve been honored to craft intimate portraits that feel like love letters to every woman’s unique story. Each session is more than photography—it’s a celebration of your power, your grace, and the art of being unapologetically you. I can’t wait to create with you.

There’s something magical about capturing the essence of who you are — your strength, your sensuality, your story — through the art of boudoir photography. Each session with Belle Dame Boudoir is more than just pictures; it’s an intimate celebration of your confidence and beauty, told like a whispered love letter to yourself.

Together, we create images that honor your unique curves, your fierce spirit, and the timeless grace that makes you unapologetically you. Whether you’re here to mark a milestone, reclaim your power, or simply experience the joy of being seen, I’m honored to be the artist who helps you tell that story.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

01.

Before the Session — The Sketch

Every portrait begins with intention.
Before we ever meet in the soft glow of the studio light, we’ll take time to connect. Through a thoughtfully curated questionnaire and a quiet, heart-centered consultation, we’ll begin shaping your story—your vision, your edges, your softness, your why.
This isn’t just planning. It’s the first brushstroke on your canvas.


02.

During the Session — The Painting

This is where the art comes alive.
In this space, there are no expectations—only presence. With gentle direction and an open heart, I’ll guide you into a rhythm that feels effortless and true. Every pose, every glance, every inhale is part of the masterpiece.
Here, vulnerability becomes strength. Stillness becomes poetry. And you? You become the muse.


03.

After the Session — The Frame

Once the light has settled and the final image captured, your story is carefully woven together into a collection of artful moments. A gallery of emotion and elegance.
We’ll then craft tangible keepsakes—an heirloom album, perhaps, or framed artwork—so this love letter to yourself is not only seen but felt. Again and again. For years to come.
