Our story
You can't get more intimate than a husband and wife photo team, right?
Basy and I want to give everyday woman an opportunity to document their feminine journey. Women deserve more than selfies and quick digitals. Photography creates your legacy and looks back on your life journey through all of its phases.
The Intimate Studio creates artist iconic images. Goodbye digitals--we want to get real. Our aesthetic is dreamy and romantic. Add a pinch of classicism and vintage nostalgia. With my (Julie) background running multiple business ventures and Basy's iconic international photography, The Intimate Studio was created.
Our backgrounds are the perfect artistic match. I work with clients through the entire photography experience from the initial phone call to final photo selections. Basy handles everything photography--lighting, posing and direction. We are both on all shoots, as well as our pro makeup team, and work together to help clients have a fun and comfortable photo shoot.
This is us
Julie serial entrepreneur, interior designer, artist and all-around-creative. She was the previous owner of a fashion linger subscription box, worked as a creative color and decorative art specialist and continues to lead an interior design company base in the midwest.
She is a mother, an army veteran and loves helping women rediscover themselves and find courage they may have forgotten about.
Basy is an Internationally published fashion photographer including international fashion magazines DMAG, Catalog, Las Rosas, Mustique, Playboy, Regia, Vogue Italia, Soho and more.
He has worked in Bogota, Buenos Aries, Paris, New York City and now Miami.
Basy is an eternal dreamer and he believes in his personal philosophy, the aesthetics of error. Where each surprise is simply a stop along the way to aesthetically recomposition its way of telling stories.

Our mission
We want women to embrace their beauty through fine art prints and albums; goodbye to endless digitals and selfies.
Fierce, forward thinking intellectual women who rock romantic seduction from the inside out always have a story to tell.
We want to document the everyday women in her journey through the art of photography.
Our clients come in all shapes, sizes and ages. They share a love of independence, confidence, and well....lots of things. Perhaps, it’s simply the idea of living life confidently with a bit of sex appeal and femininity--for ourselves.
The Intimate Studio's goal is to deliver a professional photo experience beyond just digitals that will leave our clients delighted and wanting to come back for more.
(Once is never enough around here).

I would definitely recommend women of different body types, Basy has a special talent in bringing out each individuals unique characteristics that usually are not brought in front of the camera.
Basy is going to capture moments that not a lot of photographers can.
Basy is going to first make you feel very comfortable--he brings a softer, feminine and more graceful touch to the images that is rare to see.
The Intimate Studio will show you the beauty already within yourself!

I know a lot of women have trepidation when going into projects like this. You want beautiful pictures taken of you but you might be a little nervous. That was not an issue with this team today. My hair is amazing, my makeup is amazing, I feel beautiful!
The experience today makes you feel like Aphrodite, like Venus, like your in a renaissance painting! What women doesn’t want to feel like that?!
They will make you feel beautiful—but not JUST beautiful. Like one of the most beautiful women in the entire world. You will feel like art, I can’t say it better than it. I can’t recommend this team to have your photos taken. It is one of the most incredible experiences you will have as a woman. It great day!!!

Today I had at the amazing pleasure of working with Basilio today. Right when I walked in he had an amazing creative vision we were able to explore.
It was so nice to work with someone who makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful.
I had an amazing day with him and so happy I finally had a chance to work with Basy and the studio.

If you are nervous about being in a vulnerable state, and you have been holding back from doing something like this, I really encourage you to consider an intimate shoot.
It was so incredibly freeing.
There is a lot of judgement in our society, but thing is—with this shoot and the team. They made me feel so comfortable and how the images were instantly coming out from camera…it was just so beautiful.
It’s not even about being sexy and naked. It’s about being beautiful and embracing your body and femininity. Embracing yourself and loving yourself. Doing something for you! You can look back in ten, twenty, thirty years and say, “That was me, look at me…look at how good I looked!”.
Q&A
All your boudoir
questions answered ...
I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE---I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!
Everyone is nervous during an intimate shoot. That is expected and normal. We specialize in coaching and posing guidance. Basy is an award winning international fashion photographer---he knows how to direct, coach and offer you guidance. In fact, you may even do the poses himself (and that will make us all laugh!) It's going to be so much fun!
WHERE DO WE SHOOT?
All our sessions happen right in our home studio, in 2 miles from the beach in Hollywood Lakes Florida. We actually shoot commercial and fashion editorial sessions in the same spot! We have tons of props, pro photo equipment and sets available for your use including our private boudoir room and photography studio. We have full backdrops and our hidden secret---and our bohemian outdoor set in our private patio.
The space gives us ultimate privacy and comfort. Sounds like a fantastic day, doesn't it?!
Some clients prefer hotel shoots or require us to travel to unique locations. Just ask us if it is a possibility. We are excited to shoot with you!
DO I NEED TO POSE NUDE
Never. No Way. Only if you want to!
In fact, we capture lots of photos with our clients fully clothed. From lingerie, fishnets, and lace robes to partially, implied or fully nude. Boudoir is always shot in your comfort zone. Jeans and a sweater can be sexy as hell!
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Bringing a friend or family member always shifts the mood. Absolutely have someone join you
for your hair and makeup session, clothing consult and styling and even to sip a glass of wine and help you relax pre shoot.
During the shoot, only the photographer (Basy), and female staff are allowed in the studio room or space. You will shoot with Basy and Julie as well as our make up artist at all times. It allows the photographer to connect and for you to relax, but we will always have our Julie our experience director or other female assistant at the shoot.
Friends and family are great, but it can cause a disruption to the flow of the session---and can actually decrease the level of confidence in our clients.
The studio is a quick drive over the bridge to the beach full of restaurants, day spas and boutiques. Your guests are welcome to join you once the session is completed in about 3 hours and have input in the photo review session. Your guest can also relax on our out door patio + courtyard, it's a fabulous space.
IS HAIR AND MAKEUP INCLUDED?
Yes. professional hair and makeup will add a finishing touch to your photos and is included in your session fee. We require clients to use our professional makeup and hair stylists so our photography style is consistent. It absolutely will add the final touch to your photos. Please look at the aesthetic of our photography and the natural style we shoot in for our makeup and hair ideas.
DO I BRING MY OWN CLOTHES?
Yes. The more the merrier. We will review items in a pre shoot consultation that is completed in person or over video and create looks paired with our sets. Our base package is two looks with additional outfits that can be added on. We will also guide you on styling and where to purchase items to complete your look. However---a little goes a long way. We have some client wardrobe items such as vintage lingerie and kimonos we offer to clients.
ARE MY PHOTOS SHARED ONLINE?
All photos are 100% private unless you allow us to share them---even if you do not purchase the photos.
We do not share or tag you on social media. We do work with influencers and models who use our photos as part of their online presence and portfolio---these clients have requested to be tagged and photos to be shared.Women such as teachers, executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities and others, who wish to remain anonymous, always will.
We never break this rule. #pinkyswear
