Hi, I’m Marla — but around here, I go by Marla Chicky!
I’m a boudoir photographer based in New Jersey and Maryland, and I specialize in bridal boudoir and confidence-driven sessions for women who are ready to feel beautiful, powerful, and truly seen.
This career isn’t something I just stumbled into — it’s something I felt called to create. Because the truth is… my journey to confidence didn’t come easy. Like so many women, I’ve been through the ups and downs of weight gain, body changes, and self-image struggles. I know what it’s like to hide from the mirror, to feel like your spark has dimmed, and to wonder if you’ll ever feel “like yourself” again.
But I also know what it feels like to take that power back. And now, I help other women do the same — through the transformative experience of boudoir photography.

Boudoir Is So Much More Than Just Photos 📸✨
When you think of boudoir, you might picture lingerie, soft lighting, and sultry poses. (Yes, you’ll get all of that.) But what I really want you to know is that this experience is about celebrating YOU.
Whether you’re a bride-to-be planning the most unforgettable wedding gift for your partner, or a mama who’s finally ready to put herself first after years of giving everything to others — boudoir is for every woman ready to say:
“I am worthy. I am beautiful. And I deserve to be celebrated — right now, as I am.”
I’ve worked with women at every stage of life:
💍 Brides who want to feel sexy and confident before their big day
🤱 Moms rediscovering their femininity after having kids
🔥 Women who’ve lost weight and want to mark the moment
💗 Women who haven’t changed a thing physically, but are ready to shift how they feel about their bodies
No matter your story — this is a space for you to show up exactly as you are and leave feeling empowered, confident, and proud of the skin you’re in.

A Gift That Lasts a Lifetime (and Then Some)
Sure, boudoir makes an incredible wedding gift (trust me — your fiancé will be obsessed 😍). But more than anything, this is a gift for YOU.
You’ll walk away with stunning, artistic photos that celebrate your beauty, your strength, and your story. But more importantly? You’ll walk away feeling seen. Feeling confident. Feeling unstoppable.
