Chances are, we relate to each other more than you know. As a teenager, I was shamed for my chubby thighs and thicker size and developed an eating disorder before I had a chance to hit puberty. For more than one chapter in my life I struggled to know what self love was, but I'm sure I don't need to describe the feeling.
Something changed though when I was gifted a photoshoot from a local photographer. From the moment I arrived I felt safe and wanted. For once, I felt special. When finally I saw the photos, for the first time in a long time, I felt truly beautiful.
It's my mission to share the feeling that photoshoot gave me. I'm honored to have helped hundreds of people reconnect with themselves and see their own authentic beauty through falling truly, madly, deeply in love with the skin they are in.
My name is Rylee Louisa Prenatt and I am the owner, operator, photographer and queer queen behind Boudoir With Rylee – where we shed our toxic self-limiting beliefs and our clothes. I'm your cheerleader here to celebrate YOU in all your unique authenticity – I'm inviting you to step into your power through our self-love community.

We're all on a journey to self-love, my passion in life is helping people embrace their bodies just as they are.
That was basically game over for me, from then on I've had a camera in hand.
Boudoir is the french word for "a women's dressing room or bedroom" but, as a photographer, I like to think of it as just a fancy word for intimate portraits.
Boudoir is NOT pornographic or overtly sexual. Boudoir IS fun, flirty, cute, beautiful, sexy, feminine, intimate, candid, posed and really anything you want it to be.
Our mission here is to create the most beautiful portraits you've ever seen of yourself!
Boudoir is the best gift you can give YOURSELF to capture your essence as you are now. It's a collection of stunning portraits for you to revisit over your life and be reminded of the strong, beautiful human you are.
I love when people come to me for themselves. The images we create together will boost your self esteem, your confidence and are an immortalized celebration of YOU!
Boudoir is an opportunity for you to reclaim your femininity and your sexuality that can so often be lost and obscured through our lives, in our jobs or families.
Let's put that pep back in your step and honor the bodacious babe you are! It's time to celebrate the body you live in!
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh, our home studio is the perfect environment for an intimate experience.
We have plenty of space featuring multiple setups, an espresso machine, and lots of plants to look at all within the comfort of our safe space created for you.
With huge historic windows that flood the loft studio in natural light, your photos won't just look stunning, you'll feel right at home.
So, what is boudoir?

I’ve been a professional makeup artist for 8 years! In 2020 I started dabbling in hair before turning my side hustle into a full time job and haven’t looked back since!
My number one goal is always client satisfaction, the best part of my job is witnessing the shift in how people feel about themselves after sitting in my chair, it's an honor to be part of the transformation!
Most of my clients tend to be minimalists in their daily makeup, while my signature style leans into natural looks with an element of drama. In my personal life, my die-hard product is lip gloss! I love Juicy Tubes, Tower28 lip jellies and Undone Beauty poppa glosses.
Outside of being a full time hair and makeup artist, I also offer personal shopping and customized cosmetic education! My SIP-N-LEARN classes offer a little something for everyone with 4 different levels to choose from.
When I'm not in the studio, I love spending my time traveling to new places, going out to eat and shopping!

I've been working as a hair and makeup artist for the past 8 years - my favorite part of my work is having the ability to change the way my clients see themselves -- to see them recognize their beauty, find their confidence and know how much they matter to the people around them.
I like to emphasize the natural beauty of my clients without completely changing them with makeup. For me, the products I can't live without are makeup remover moisturizer (because hydrated skin is the key to beautiful makeup), and good quality shampoo and conditioner.
Outside of the studio, I offer bridal services, lash extensions and full hair services -- coloring, blonding, balayage, and haircuts! Most of the time though, you can find me at the mall or spending time with my family.
