This isn't your typical women's retreat.

No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule.
Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format.
How will we receive our photos?

It wasn't just about the photos...I left with a vision of myself I hadn't seen in years."

Let's Chat About Belize!
Meet Amelia
Washington State Boudoir Photographer
Hey girl, I know how it goes. I'm a mom, a wife, a business owner...sometimes we get lost in all the different hats we wear. And there's nothing wrong with all the things we do, but sometimes we lose sight of who we are as women. Over the years I've realized that when I choose to put myself first and do something incredible for me, I take care of everyone else so much better. I've been photographing women at Photography by Amber Carl since 2020 and seeing all of these people walk through my studio doors unsure and not feeling their best to seeing them leave transformed from the inside out. That's what I am all about! I love helping women step into their power through a beautiful boudoir session. And right now may be the time for you to do just that!
And I can't wait to get to know you!
