mon Chari boudoir co was established in 2010

Hello and welcome! I’m Shelby Chari, the hype girl behind the camera, cheering you on and bringing and comfort to every shoot. The name Mon Chari Boudoir combines the French term "Mon Cheri," meaning "My Darling," with a nod to my middle name, Chari.

With over a decade of experience in photography, I’ve developed a deep passion for boudoir. I understand first hand that self-love can be a challenge, but I’ve dedicated myself to helping others see and celebrate their unique beauty, vulnerability, and strength.

I truly believe that viewing yourself through someone else's eyes can shift your perspective. While you might not instantly love every single part of yourself, over time, you will begin to appreciate and cherish who you are more and more.

Self-love is a journey that requires effort and dedication. It begins by tossing out those negative thoughts and treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a loved one.

At Mon Chari Boudoir, we create bespoke artwork that captures your beauty and strength, serving as a lasting reminder of your remarkable self. I’m thrilled to work alongside my partner in crime, also named Shelby, who excels in enhancing your natural beauty and making sure you look and feel camera ready!

Whether you're coming in for a special gift or simply for yourself, our goal is to make this experience all about you.

You are a marvel and we can’t wait to celebrate you.

See you SOON. 

XOXO
