I'm Shariffa.
I'm a boudoir photographer in Frederick, Maryland, creating intimate, artistic portraits for people across Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia.
As a mother, wife, and friend, I know how easy it is to care for everyone else and put yourself last. I also know what it feels like to avoid the camera, focus on what you'd change, and wonder whether confidence belongs to someone else.
That understanding is at the heart of St-Amour Boudoir. My clients are teachers, parents, nurses, business owners, and people finding their way back to themselves. You don't need to be a model or arrive knowing how to pose.
I'll help with wardrobe choices and guide you through the session, with room for questions, laughter, and the things that make you feel like you. My hope is that your photographs help you recognize the strength, softness, and beauty already there.
“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
-Gordon Parks
“The power in my work doesn’t come from the camera. It comes from the people who trust me enough to be seen. They are the art, the story, and the reason my lens exists.”
Shariffa St-amour
A relaxing morning
with my sweet Delilah
July 4, 2025
Cowboy Carter Concert
Let's make space for your story.
Away from the camera, you'll find me enjoying live music or a quiet morning with my sweet Delilah. Those moments matter to me, too.
Your session can celebrate a milestone, a new chapter, or simply the decision to do something for yourself. You can bring the nerves and the questions. We'll start with a free, 10-minute phone consultation and talk about what feels right for you.
