The Story

Ashley Gardner approaches boudoir photography with quiet intention, shaping each session around comfort, trust and self-assurance. At Boudoir by Ashley, the CSRA’s only dedicated boudoir studio, clients are welcomed into a private, thoughtfully designed space where lighting, styling and pacing are carefully considered. Her imagery leans moody and refined, never rushed or overproduced, allowing women and couples to feel seen without pressure or performance. The experience becomes as much about reassurance as it is about the final photographs.

Her path began in California in 2015 with family photography before evolving into boudoir after relocating to Augusta in 2019. That transition sharpened her focus on confidence and self-perception. Serpent + Sage extends that philosophy through inclusive lingerie, tarot decks and curated, distinctive details in Downtown Augusta. Together, the studio and boutique create space for self-expression that feels personal, grounded and entirely individual.
